3 cups amazing green smoothie: mango, avocado, lettuces, cilantro, water
3 cups water

1 quart water
1.5 cups water with Marine Phytoplankton

I am *delighted* to announce that we have Ice Cream Beans for sale at TheRawFoodWorld.com again - we just got another 80lbs of these delectable fruits and this is apparently the total end of the season - no more until next year...soooooo, if you didn't get your fingers wrapped around your own glory pods yet, you can hop on over HERE to pick some up - be warned though, you might wanna act *quick* - the 100lbs of these beans we had the week before sold out in a day...
Down here in Ecuador we found local "Ice Cream Beans" too - they seem to call them "guava" here...and what we call "guava" is "guayaba" here, apparently...which is a little confusing ;) You can see us discovering the local Ice Cream Beans and much more in the farmers' market here in Ecuador, in this video HERE - yummmmmmmmm ;)

on February the 3rd it was a *hot* day and I loved:

1 quart water
2 cups greeeeeeeeen juice
2 cups water
2 cups greeeeen smoothie: persimmon, cilantro, spinach, sunflower greens, chia flour, water, with 4 tbsp acai powder on the side
2 cups water
2 cups greeeeen smoothie: persimmon, cilantro, spinach, sunflower greens, chia flour, water, with 4 tbsp acai powder on the side and a little handful of soaked/flavoured/dehydrated almonds - YUM :)
3 cups water
1 cup veggie juice
2.5 cups coconut water blended with Greener Grasses
2 cups water

I also loved a lightworker message sent to me by Ms. Kate Magic yesterday, involving focusing our loving intentions towards the people of Haiti (and beyond) as we eat or drink anything, to help send nourishing energy that way, in the manner of the energy flow involved in traditional Vision Quests - you can read the details HERE.
This reminded me too of something mentioned to me recently by one of the workers at The Tree of Life, who was raised in an intentional community. She mentioned that to help people not 'space out' and eat mindlessly there, one of the ideas they carried in that community was to, for example, be conscious for the 3rd bite of every meal, or the 7th bite, or whichever you choose, preferably of course resulting in being conscious and aware with every bite...and if on top of that we are also directing that nourishing flow to places where it may be really appreciated, well, that sounds like an inspired use of time/space/flow to me... ;)

All love, all the time, expanding in all directions,
Ms. Angela Stokes-Monarch. xxx
