Not a cloud in the sky on this beautiful day! Hello Okanagan summer, I’ve missed you :). Also sorry I have been MIA everyone. I have just been finishing up school and moving so things have been a little crazy. I promise I will be back soon!
ohayl asked: hey, how much parsley do you put in your green smoothie? i have some fresh but don't want to put too much in as it's quite a strong taste
I don’t mind the taste of parsley so I put around a quarter of a bunch into mine. Start out with just a little bit and if you feel like you want some more add a bit more next time :)
Day 1 of juice cleanse. Breakfast juice was kiwi, ginger, apple, cucumber, apple, carrot, beet tips, parsley, and cilantro :)
This is the juice I made at work yesterday. It basically just had anything we had that could be juiced in it :) 4 apples (I wish I only put 3 in though, it was a bit sweet at first), 5 carrots, 1 orange, ginger, lemon, parsley, kale, spinach, and cilantro. That made around 1.5L of juice that I drank through the day.
For lunch today I had ceaser salad (dressing was cashew based from work) and a small spicy kelp noodle salad. Later Sam and I went for a walk along the beach because it was so nice out. The herring spawned last week so there are little strings of kelp covered in eggs all over down there. Then when we got back we had some tarimisu from work. This is my new favourite! It is amazing, so creamy and chocolatly and delicious.
Juice from yesterday that has apple, celery, cucumber, spinach, lemon, and ginger. Had this with a small snack of organic dried apricots, crackers and cheese, and banana with peanut butter. Sam and I downloaded a whole bunch of healthy eating documentaries. We watched Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead yesterday which was an amazing story. I would highly recommend it :)
Juice from last night. This has beet, apple, cucumber, lemon, parsley, and mixed greens. I also put teriyaki almonds in the oven. I don’t have a dehydrator so I had to put them on the lowest heat hopefully it works. These are coated in dates, ginger, garlic, and tamari. I am addicted to these things at work so I am hoping these taste the same :)
Some food from the past few days :) the top left is the cauliflower rice that I made for dinner the other night. It was good, not much like rice but still really delicious. The top right is some alkaline water that I bought. My green smoothie is one that I have had for a few days in a row it has frozen banana, grapes, peaches, greens powder, kale, coconut oil, chia seeds, hemp hearts, and flax oil. Filled with greens and omega 3’s! For lunch yesterday at work I had a falafel wrap and ceaser salad.

The Benefits of Sprouting
Sprouts are super easy to grow and incredibly nutritious. Buying sprouts from shops can be up to ten times more expensive than growing your own. Sprouts are one of nature’s true living superfoods - they are enzyme-rich, high in amino acid (protein) content, bursting with minerals and trace minerals, and are packed with chlorophyll. Sprouts are also healing and therapeutic, cleansing and alkalizing, and filled with antiaging antioxidants. Because they are so high in minerals and enzymes, they facilitate digestion, detoxification, and weight loss. What’s more, they taste fantastic. There is a wide selection of different types of seeds that one can sprout, so the variety and flavors available are virtually endless.
The Glass Jar Method
There are many different sprouting kit options, ranging from stackable plastic rings to glass jars, sprouting bags, and automatic sprouters. My favorite is the glass jar method. Sprouting with this simple system involves soaking your chosen seeds overnight and covering the jar with a mesh screen and rubber band. In the morning drain the soak water and rinse the seeds twice daily, placing them on a rack to drain during the day. Harvest them within three to seven days. Some of the easiest sprouts to grow are alfalfa, fenugreek, radish, broccoli, mung beans, onion, cabbage, mustard seeds, chickpeas, quinoa, lentils, pea sprouts, and wheat seeds. For most sprouts, continue to sprout them until they have developed a long tail or their first leaves have begun to go green. In the case of chickpeas, quinoa, pea sprouts, mung beans, and lentils, they are ready to eat as soon as their tails begin to unfurl or emerge from the seed.

Anonymous asked: Where do you work?! What a dream. I think I would have it set if I worked at a raw restaurant. omg! Just... I'm getting into eating raw and where I live, the closes thing to raw is a rare steak. Not exactly what a raw vegan needs or wants. Do you like your job and are they hiring? :p
I work at a place called power house living foods company in Nanaimo BC. I love my job! I get to eat all the healthy food every time I work and am learning a lot about raw recipes so I can make them at home when I’m not working. It’s also awesome to inform the people who come in about it and have conversations with the customers who do know a little about raw food. And yes I do believe they are hiring :)
