raw almond butter at Trader Joes?

Sat, 12 May 2012 04:53:53 +0100

for only $5.00? really? Don't know how legit this is, but I got some. I started putting raw nut butter in my morning smoothies instead of whole nuts, until I get a vitamix.

Natalie from Euphoria in Long Beach loaned me a couple raw books from her collection. I'm really loving all the new ideas. I'm looking at "Living on Live Food" by Alissa Cohen and "Raw Star Recipes" by Brian Au. I see some good stuff coming up.

super rich vanilla almond smoothie

Sun, 01 Apr 2012 17:35:38 +0100

Ani Phyo posted a new recipe on her Facebook page for this super rich and sweet smoothie. I cup almonds, 1 cup dates, 1 tablespoon soy lecithin, pinch of sea salt, and a half vanilla been. Bled with three cups of water and that's it. I can see myself making this often. I tried to drink a cup but was full after only half! Also, I've not been eating enough greens lately so here's my breakfast salad.

Saw this in Long Beach this morning.

I won't be able to attend because of my work schedule, now that I own my own business. I'd love to hear from you if you go!

Raw yogurt

Sat, 17 Mar 2012 05:51:28 +0100

Opening my own studio in Long Beach, www.NewFlowerStudio.com takes up so much of my time that it's becoming harder and harder to plan and prepare my meals. Tonight though I came home and started a culture of almond yogurt. I let the almonds soak last night and this time I dehydrated them all day. That makes them a little lighter and blend easier and smoother. Also, I added $20 per month to my budget to save money for a Vitamix. I really should have one by now. If I can put away $20 each month then I can get one in a couple years or less.

New raw juice bar in Long Beach!

My friend and raw food enthusiast Natalie, owner of the spa Euphoria here in the LBC, http://www.mysweeteuphoria.com, told me the other day about Nektar opening up. I was excited and looked them up online and found the new location at PCH and 2nd, next to Trader Joe's. This place was pretty awesome. They do sell non-vegan snacks, but the whole place is pretty great. I had a tropical smoothie cuz it had greens in it and I loved it. Everybody there was awesome. I'll be back for sure. http://www.nekterjuicebar.com/
