Three YUMMY Raw Food Recipes :)

We've been sharing more raw recipes recently over on The Raw Food World TV Show...(much to Mr. M's apparent chagrin ;) I'd love to share three of these recent videos with you here in case you missed them, as people seem to be enjoying them...

Easy Method to Make Sauerkraut: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9yuMoUptpw



These are three of the raw items we're regularly mixing up and sharing around here in Vilcabamba - they all seem to be very popular - ENJOY :)))


On July the 1st it was a day of travelling for us and I enjoyed:

1 quart water
2 cups greeeeeen juice mixed with pineapple juice
7 granadillas, ½ a papaya
2 tbsp bee pollen, 20 chlorella tablets
a dragon fruit, ½ a papaya
water of a young coconut
3 'little gold' bananas with a little handful of walnuts
2 cups horchata tea
1 cup water


Dear Si*STAR* Jinjee of TheGardenDiet.com would love to let y'all know that her next 21 Day Cleanse programme starts this Monday, July the 5th... Those of you in the USA may especially love to join in right after the July 4th celebrations - declare independence from bizarre processed foods and join Madame Jinjee for 21 days of clean raw living, fitness, weight release, support and fun...she has some AMAZING before/after pics of past participants to share HERE, plus you can find all the details for the upcoming cleanse there too - ENJOY :)))


on July the 2nd I loved:

1 quart water
2 cups greeeeen juice mixed with pineapple juice
2 cups watermelon/cantaloupe juice :)
2 tbsp bee pollen
½ a papaya
2 cups greeeeen juice mixed with pineapple juice
Yummmmy shared meal with Mr. M of cucumber/jicama salad stuffed into nori sheets, followed by a hand-stirred yumpot of hazelnut butter, coconut nectar, vanilla and chocolate extracts :)
mug of reishi/shilajit/ormus tea
2 cups water


LOVE this little idea that came in via Hazelden's daily "Gift for Today" emails recently...

"We always think before we act, 
even if the thinking has become automatic."

Wow. So simple and rings so true to me... Those of us with 'addiction' backgrounds (which, from my perspective, actually seems to include the majority of people in 'Western' cultures, in some way or another...) might be able to identify with this pattern...
Acting out on addictions (alcohol, food, shopping, cigarettes, gambling etc) may become so automatic that we stop even NOTICING the thought prior to the action...the pattern has been played out so many times that we don't even witness the thought process, yet it IS there...and it may offer even a split-second of GRACE, during which we can choose to not act out the pattern once again, if that is what we truly want...
I hope that this little quote-ette helps to offer extra hope to anyone dealing with current active addictions, or for those who love someone caught in this flow...may we all acknowledge how self-destructive and abusive these addiction patterns usually are and how much they indicate low self-love...there are SO many other ways to help fill that gap within than with a cigarette, chunk of chocolate cake or glass of wine...you ARE loveable, loving and loved :)))

All love,

Ms. Magic has two pieces of yummmmmy news for you :) Firstly, if you sign up for her "Magic Bubble" at the moment, you not only receive a free, fabulous kale chip recipe (she *is*, after all, the founder of Crack coKale Addicts Anonymous... ;) PLUS, you also get to listen in to an interview that Madam Magic recently did with myself - fun :) You can sign up for all that goodness HERE.

The Magic Madam was over here in California recently and was blown away by the vaaaaast ranges of raw products on sale here (see video evidence HERE ;) Now she'd love to support people in the UK and Europe to bring more goodies to the market - if you'd love to connect with her about this, you can send her a message through her YouTube account, HERE - enjoy :)

OoOoOooo, seems like Raw Food Adventures are hotting up down under in Australia...we hear that MANY raw food speakers are zipping down that way to share some yumminess this year – the lovely Boutenko ladies, Gabriel Cousens and even Dr. Fred Bisci are apparently all going south soon – WOW, I haven’t even ever seen Dr. Bisci speak yet ;) lol...

One reader – Lila – who is visiting the beautiful Margaret River region of Australia wrote recently to tell us that she’s helping out at an amazing new organic raw eatery/yoga studio/shop/garden centre, called Samudra. Lila wrote:
“Samudra offers a full schedule of yoga classes, a retail shop featuring custom-designed organic clothing and an amazing raw "food room" with outdoor seating and permaculture garden. It's a great place to work and a beautiful place to live right near the beach.”
…aaaaaaaaaaaand…Exciting Opportunity Alert ;) :

Casey had chronic eczema and Mr. M and I gave some guidance to help her move through that and heal.

As I write this, I’m on Day 2 of a Green Juice F(e)ast. YummmMmmMmMmmmmm...I’ve actually never f(e)asted on JUST green juice before, I think...always some carrot juice usually too, or fruits, coconuts etc – just greeeeeeeeeeeeeens for now though and WOW – what an impact it has – feels sooooo very clean and cleansing... it’s quite amazing to me to go a whole day with nothing but green things passing my lips (except water)...
Speaking of green juice, in our latest video on TheRawFoodWorld, you can meet my parents, as I deliver them some greeeeeeeeeen juice – will they like it? You can see HERE ;)

Mr. M also recently reviewed Blessings’ Kale Chips HERE.
The ‘Quite Cheesey’ kale chips are indeed ridiculously good – one of the tastiest raw food products I’ve ever tried. There’s still MASSES of kale knocking abt in the Northern Hemisphere at the moment it seems, so, if you have some kale, plus a dehydrator, you can even make your OWN kale chips :) Annmarie and Kevin Gianni demonstrate how to make Kale Chips HERE and there’s also a popular–looking recipe HERE on RawFreedomCommunity for kale chips (check out the outrageously cute picture of a puppy eating kale chips on there too ;). Plus remember that you can learn to make your own dehydrator HERE if you don’t have one ;)

All love,

Viva Mexico ;)

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–HAHAAHahahahahaaaaaaa :) We in Mexico now = coconuts, warmth, sun, smiles, beach, papayas and various other forms of yumminess, thank you...grateful, grateful, SO grateful... Back with the marvellous Monarch, nesting in a sweet little green–coloured house in a quiet neighbourhood next to the coast, with a sun–trap patio with views to the ocean, a puppy called ‘princess’ and an abundance of coconut stands nearby with friendly machete–yielding locals ;) Stokes is ALL about the coconuts...we already have amassed an absolute glut of coconut meat from all the cocos we’ve been drinking...fortunately the Monarch brought a dehydrator here from the US, so we will surely be duly experimenting with various forms of coconut ‘crepes’ to make into rawviolis etc...last time we lived somewhere with a dehydrator (abt 2 years ago now), the Monarch was always churning out amazing coconut goodies – so, let’s see what he gets up to now ;)

on November the 30th I had:

1.5 quarts water
2 yummy apples
1 quart water
1tsp wheatgrass powder
bowl of Shellbel Grawnola with brazil nut milk and gojis – yummmmmmmm :)
1 quart water
1tsp wheatgrass powder
2 apples
nori rolls stuffed with greens, avocado, red bell pepper, cucumber and sprouts, followed by the last 3 goji yumballs ;)
1 quart water


on December the 1st I had:

1 quart water
water of 1.5 young coconuts
2 tbsp AMAZING green powders: sproutein, red clover sprout powder, Greener Grasses
amazing RAW ice creams: persimmon and vanilla/choc chip with samples of various new sweet snacks from rawbakery.com (my favourite was the chocolate snackaroons – we’ll probably be stocking some of their goodies soon ;)
1 quart water
water of one young coconut
1.5 cups energy soup with crackers and sugar snap peas of the side, followed by more raw ice cream ;)
3 cups water

You know I love sharing some of the more unusual search terms people key into search engines, to end up on this blog (as shown in the admin stats for the site)...well, here are some recent intriguing enquiries:

*frederic patenaude nude
*is nutella a raw food?
*can raw pumpkin seeds grow in the human body?
*squirrel pee toxic
*what can i get free for my birthday?

Love it ;) So, here are my responses for today, in order, for anyone with similar enquiries in the future:

*errrrrm, not round here...
*mmm, hopeful...you can MAKE ‘raw nutella’ though, with hazelnut butter and carob powder – yummmmmm ;)
*highly unlikely – sounds like a fun experiment though ;) ...not sure where you’d keep them...
*I’ve never tried it...it is technically raw though, I guess ;)
*Mmmm, good question...sun rays? glimpses of glorious nature? yummy hugs? wild greens? dips in natural hot springs? smiles? ...?


on December the 2nd I had:

1 quart water
2 cups pineapple juice with coconut water
2 cups green juice with coconut water: celery, fenugreek greens, parsley, spinach, dandelion, kale, radish
2 cups energy soup with crackers on the side, followed by some raw ice cream and ‘snackaroons’
little cup of rooibus tea
1 quart water
1 tbsp sproutein powder
2 cups coconut water with Greener Grasses powder stirred in
2 cups water


on December the 3rd I had:

1 quart water
water of 2 young coconuts
samples of different grawnolas with coconut water as the ‘milk’ – yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm ;)

2 cups energy soup with flax crackers and KALE CHIPS – WOW :) followed by a little bowl of raw ice cream

Mmmmm, there’s a beautiful song I’ve been SO loving lately and wanted to share with you...it’s called ‘Far Far’ by Yael Naim...mmmmmm, have you heard it before? What a beautiful soul...I don’t know what the song might mean to Yael herself, or others who hear it, but to me it speaks of the delicate feeling of awe that comes when a new creative project is downloaded into your consciousness from the Universe and one faces the choice of if/when/how to say “yes” to embodying this new project into this dimension...it reminds me of the quote from Anais Nin:

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful
than the risk it took to blossom.”

As the song also feels beautifully feminine to me, it also speaks to me of the subtle, sweet flow of the right hemisphere/goddess energy that is always there somewhere in the background (at least), no matter how much the left hemispheres of the human world might seem to be ‘in control’ ;) It speaks to me of all the beautiful women out there who are creating and loving and living and giving...I almost invariably end up crying when I listen to this song, it moves me so much – especially towards the end of the song – her voice is so sweet and clear... So, I wanna embed the song here from YouTube for you to listen to if you choose...and to dedicate this to all my si*stars* out there...;) I tried to find a good version of it to share from YouTube – there doesn’t seem to be an ‘official’ version on there, so I chose this little compilation that someone seems to have put together and posted – I hope you enjoy ;) (Oh, I recommend listening with earphones if possible – it always moves me more that way ;) ENJOY :)


All love and jolly jangles,
