Make Your Own Stone-Ground Nut and Seed Butters :)))

In case you didn't yet hear about the AMAZING new stone-grinding machines we now have for making your OWN nut and seed butters, it shall be my delight to share some juicy details with you today about these new contraptions...

As many of you have noticed and commented on, in my daily food logs of the last few weeks, I've been mentioning eating some of our amazing home-made, fresh, smoooooooth nut butters...these butters are off-the-hooooooooooooooook ;)
Mr. M is a nut/seed butter FANATIC and for years has been wondering how to best make his OWN butters, rather than paying $20+ per jar for other peoples' products - he'd tried everything, using a food processor, pestle and mortar, Green Star juicer, blenders...you name it...never with very impressive results...until NOW :)))
A dear friend of ours let us know about a special stone-grinding machine for crunching down and smoooooothing out nuts and seeds into the most incredible, smooooooth, delicious, pourable nut and seed butters that you would have surely ever experienced...
We've been playing with all kinds of nut/seed versions the last few weeks and every trial has resulted in some kind of rich liquid luciousness...these machines can also be used to produce your own *exquisitely* smooooth and professional raw chocolates or similar confections - I actually JUST made my first batch of raw "chocolate" (with carob powder rather than cacao) in one of these stone-grinding machines last night - it is *RIDICULOUSLY* good...I'll aim to demo this on a video some day soon... for now, if you click over HERE you can see a video that we already did showing how to use this epic new piece of machinery...
Imagine, instead of paying $20+ per jar for almond butter or tahini, from now on you can use a machine like this to make your OWN nut and seed butters, of the highest, smoothest, silkiest quality you've ever experienced, for just the cost of the nuts/seeds themselves, plus the initial investment for the machine of course. As one customer commented, "this machine will have paid for itself in about 16 jars of almond butter" - WOW ;O
This stone-grinder is set to become *the* new "must-have" appliance for raw foodies everywhere and we're so excited to be able to share this with you - it is SOOOOO much fun to experiment with all your own mixtures - enjoy the process :)

Check out a video on the stone-grinding machines and get your own machine to play with HERE :)

Celebrating My 9-Year "Raw-nniversary" :)

Yesterday marked my nine-year "Raw-nniversary" - nine years to the day when my dear friend Heida in Iceland lent me the book "Raw Family" and my life took on a whole new direction...in case you missed my mini-article on my Raw-nniversary in my newsletter this week, here's a recap:

Nine years ago, on May the 31st 2002, a miserable, morbidly obese 23 -year-old English gal was handed the raw food book "Raw Family" by an Icelandic angel friend and in the flutter of a few pages, a whole life path was transformed... :)
That miserable 23-year old was me and now here I sit on our sacred land in Ecuador, nine years later with awe in my heart, marvelling at the remarkable trajectory of healing that has unfolded around me and within me in the last nine years...what an absolute blessing...
On this raw-nniversary I am feeling called to honour nine raw-markable women who helped me immensely to get onto this path in the beginning and stay with it...there have of course been countless other wonderful people who have shared and supported this j0urney along the way - may you all feel blessings showered upon you too... ;)

For now, I share immense gratitude, love and blessings in the directions of:

Victoria Boutenko - for sharing her story
Heida - the friend who introduced me to raw food
Inga Hanna - the friend who helped me shift my relationship with food
Katrin - the friend who supported me at my trickiest times
Magga - the friend who offered me refuge and respite
Thuri - the friend who sheltered and nurtured me
Jeanette - the friend who helped me see the truth within
Kate - the friend who helped me take it all to the next level
Anastasia - the sister who clarified the visi0n :)

THANK YOU all, dear goddesses of the light :)


on May the 29th I enjoyed:

1 quart water
cup of granadilla/sweet lemon/orange juice
2 cups watermelon juice with "Vitamin C" powder
3 cups greeeeeeeen juice mixed with pineapple juice

2 cups water
water of two young coconuts
glass of chilled herbal tea


I'm very excited to say that The Raw Emotions Study Group starts in less than a week :) Next Tuesday, June the 7th, people from all around the world will join together to read my book "Raw Emotions" together :)



I've been wanting to read over this book again myself and thought it would be fun to do so in a group context, so that we can share our insights, tales and inspirations on topics such as emotional eating, overeating, obesity, addictions, following our bliss in life and much more... Are you willing and ready to invest an hour of your time each week into exploring these areas together....? ;)

The study group will start on June the 7^th and meet each consecutive Tuesday for as long as it takes us to read the whole book. Each hour-long session will involve approximately 40 minutes of me reading live from the book, via a private Ustream broadcast, then for the remaining 20 minutes or so, we'll share a streaming discussion via the "chat" feature of Ustream.
There are three ways to sign up for this group and get involved - you can choose to simply join the live meetings, OR join the meetings plus receive an ebook version of the book, OR join the meetings plus receive a physical copy of the book. You can check out all the details and get signed up for this fun exploratory event HERE - we look forward to sharing this journey with you... :)

Pili Nut Love + Free "B12 Exposed" Webinar :)

As you may have seen in Mr. Monarch's videos and newsletters, we are really enamoured at the moment with a new raw nut that just came to our attention: the Polynesian Pili Nut :) Now, this is not a "new" nut in the sense that someone just "invented" it through hybridisation - these amazing little morsels have apparently been around all along, we just didn't know abt them, as the trees are rather rare...(which leads me to wonder how many other edible nuts and even seeds there may be out there that we don't know much abt yet...)

So, these Pili Nuts are *AMAZINGLY* soft, sweet-ish, delicious and fun to experiment with...they apparently have the highest oil content of any nut, which results in suuuuper-smooooooth smoothies, elixirs and ice creams made with these nuts, plus the stone-ground nut butter we've been personally producing with these nuts is *ridiculously* good - it looks, feels and even somewhat tastes like CHOCOLATE ;O

We're definitely in love with this new find...see the videos below for more info and you can order your own Pili Nuts at our store HERE - due to the limited supply of these little joy-morsels, we actually have an exclusive on selling them - you won't find them anywhere else - enjoy :)
