Pear Supreme

Brunch today was a wonderfully-creamy and decadent affair, fun, fresh-tasting flavors, frivolity and flair(even if I do say so myself : =) This simple and yet tasty, naturally-healthy treat will leave you feeling euphoric, energetic and light as a kite (Your taste buds will love you for it for sure), ENJOY!

Pear Supremo: locally-sourced & organically-grown conference pears(I used 3), giant bunch of flat-leaf parsley(all of parsley including edible stems for obvious reasons), juice of 2 limes, perfectly-ripe Hass avocado or two and that's it!

As January is a month renowned for cleansing(prevention is better than cure) may I suggest a stainless steel tongue cleaner(endorsed by generations of wise sages and Indian Yogis:), very cheap(tip: try Ebay) and effective for getting rid of  undesirable bacteria from last night's slumbers(enough said there:). You might want to try oil pulling  with some cold pressed sesame oil or pure virgin coconut too(caution: this ancient practice can naturally and significally whiten teeth for sure.

Have a awesome weekend folks(ciao bella:)!

Model Envy and a Friday rant!

Berry Good Start!

My day began with a vividly-vibrant, home-made concoction, creamy shake of germinated almonds, frozen strawberries, frozen ripe bananas, soaked raw Peruvian organic cacao beans, water ant the Amazonian wonder fruit, Acai (Green Origin's freeze dried powder:). It's my second attempted tasting of Acai powder and fortunately for me I have just acquired a taste for it(love it now:) as I found it quite unpalatable before. Mind you I could say the same for rooibos tea and I can't get enough of that!

Here's  what the blurb on the label says:

'Acai is a small purple berry from the Brazilian Amazon which is widely regarded as one of the most nutritious food on Earth; a rich source of antioxidants, healthy omega fats, amino acids and dietary fibre. Not only does it boost energy levels and the immune system but it helps promote healthy skin.

Green origins exclusively use Sambazon  organic freeze-dried acai berry powder, which unlike extracts or concentrates, completely captures the unique synergy of health benefits found in this miraculous fruit. Sambazo is the premier global suppier o f organic acai berry powder and your purchase of this product helps Sambazon's efforts to protect the indigenous people of the Amazon and the Amazon Rainforest'. That's nice to know and makes a change from the ubiquitous soy crop that's destroying eco systems to feed cattle.
