Cheers to a beautiful summertime day! :}
The link I posted for maca is from a great online store ‘Nuts Online’. They are very fast to ship and I love all the products I have bought from them. Maca is super good for us and adds a nutty flavor to my smoothie.

Mango wraps are one of my favorites! A lot of work goes into them but the rewards are plentiful:}
Part one…opening the coconut. There are other ways of opening a coconut but this is the way I have been doing it. I did not buy any special tools as of yet to open my coconuts. In the future my technique might change.
1. Get your young coconut
2. Cut all the husk around the nut off and find the hole where you will drain the coconut water. The hole will be at the top/bottom of the coconut, you will feel a soft spot that you can literally push in.
3. Drain the coconut water and hydrate yourself:} Coconut water is full of electrolytes, magnesium, potassium and everything healthy.
4. Cut the coconut in half. I use a hacksaw.
5. Admire your beautiful beautiful coconut:}
Scoop out the meat. I keep my coconut halves without the hole, sand them down, and use them as bowls:}
I have said it before and I will say it again…I like to snack at night. I really really try not to but I like to….oh what a dilemma. So I experiment with different things to eat. Here was a fun experiment. Banana chips!
1. First I cut up the bananas
2.Then I made a chocolate sauce out of agave and raw cacao powder
3. I coated the bananas with the sauce and put them on a dehydrator screen to dehydrated over night and part of the day
4. These turned out a little chewy which I like but next time I will leave them in longer to see how crispy I can get them.
Next time I am also going to coat them with shredded coconut. Yummmm
Happy banana-snacking! :}

Join Nanner and I in making this super healthy raw cabbage salad. I bring this salad with me to parties and it is always a hit!
Cabbage is SO good for our bodies. It is inexpensive with huge benefits. I love cabbage, I hope you can take this recipe and enjoy cabbage as much as we do:}
Many thanks to Matt Amsden the creator of this recipe and author of ‘rawvolution’. In the recipe from his book he uses organic nama shoyu- I just used organic shoyu. Nama shouy is raw organic and unpasteurized soy sauce. You can find rawvoliution on my on my resources page.

I am a firm believer in my body. I know when I have done the right or wrong thing for it.
I myself did a seven day completely raw diet and never felt better. I also love the macrobiotic diet and lifestyle.
I believe in food and its ability to be our medicine. I believe we can all live a healthy beautiful peaceful life with the right decisions about what we invite into our bodies.
These two videos are about ridding people of their diabetes through food. The first is a macrobiotic approach and the second a raw approach.

Mango Wrap Part 2
This is the sequel to part one of “Mango Wraps”. At this point you have already opened your coconut and scooped out the meat. To view part one click here
Now it is time to work on those mangos:}
Peel, chop, and blend the mangos with the coconut and some spices. {fresh cilantro if you have it} Then spread the mixture on your dehydrator sheets. Dehydrate for about four to six hours.
Flip the wrap and peel off the sheet. You might want to dehydrate some more now, just with the wrap on the screen, if it is still a little wet in the center.
Cut your wraps however you would like, fill them up with any variety of veggies. Carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, avocado. In this batch I even used some of my homemade hummus. Roll them up and enjoy!
For dipping use creamy thai dressing, or any dressing that has flavor and some spice. The sweetness of the wrap goes great with some spicy dipping sauce.
