Ever wanted to try and grow your own sprouts? I'm here to tell you it's simple and easy! It also saves a ton of money at the grocery! All you will need is a canning jar, sprout lid, and two tablespoons of sprouting seeds...are you ready? Here we go!
STEP #1 Take 2 TB of sprouting seeds and place them in a 32oz mason jar
STEP#2 Soak them in charged water over night
STEP#3 Rinse and drain the sprouts every morning and evening for as many days as it takes the seeds to fill the jar (about 5)
STEP#4Place the jar in the sunlight (I put mine on the window seal) for 24 hours
STEP#5 Think of how blessed you are while devouring the sprouts on top of a big avocado salad, raw sammy, or my raw Asian stir fry (found in my book!)
Sprouts are full of live enzymes so go for it and remember YOU CAN DO IT!!!

STRESS

I think I would be the healthiest person alive if it wasn't for that one little word s-t-r-e-s-s. Who needs it? Most importantly how do we deal with it? I am starting to give up, stuffing myself down during stressful periods in my life. I'm resorting to things like breath work, massage, and using my chi machine. Reading seems to give me a huge relief from stress. So what do you do to deal with the daily stresses that life throws your way?

My yummylisous day!

Today I indulged in fresh yummy mango's with coconut cream and a Sinful kale avocado salad with raw deliquata soup and a plate of locally grown vegetables with my sweet and spicy ginger dressing! All of this was followed by over two pounds of fresh local organic produce that was freshly juiced to alkalize my body, mind, and spirit!

Deserting desert!

I decided to ditch my desert tonight! Eating desert has become a nightly ritual for me. You name it, I can make it, young coconut pudding, raw carob fudge, raw chocolate brownies, raw pecan pies topped with raw banana sorbet! This has led to exuberant spending on costly items such as organic dried fruits, nuts, and coconuts, along with an extra hour in the kitchen a day. I also feel my "high Raw" is on a lower vibe lately. I have experienced being "high Raw" it is an AMAZING feeling of energy that is UN surpassed by anything else I've ever experienced. Tossing in denser foods and nightly deserts has grounded me quite a bit over the past year. Here is are a few pictures for you to salivate over of LUSCIOUS Raw concoctions!

coconuts do a body good!

YUMMY!

coconuts!

I love them and I eat at least one a day! I get dozens of calls every week from my raw food princess's asking "Andrea, how do I open a coconut? I'll give you a few hints. You will need a hammer (or a sidewalk), an oyster knife, and a little creativity to create a yummy desert or raw soup!
