Bon Appetit!



I'm loving my raw eating trial (well semi raw) I can't get my head around not cooking certain vegies, for instance raw Eggplant..blech... Despite this my phase is taking me to new culinary heights. Making Zucchini fetucini with mushrooms and marinara sauce, all sorts of yummy salads, and my favourite 'cauli-cous' which is cauliflower ground to the same consistancy as cous cous and spiced up with anything you want. The possibilities are endless. It's such a creative endeavour. Now all I have to do is get my hands on a dehydrator and I'll be unstoppable!!! muhuhahaha! My brother would not approve. He's already gob smacked at the mere thought of my vegetarianism! this would send him over the edge.

Here's a gem for the raw newbies who don't wanna jump in the deep end immediately. A little tasty treat I've been whipping up post gym workout recently. It's very refressing and surprisingly silky. For a nice cool down on a hot summers day, chuck:



  • 1/4 Canteloupe



  • 2 thick slices of watermelon (Skin removed)



  • As many Mint leaves as your little heart desires



  • Ice-a-plenty



  • A dash of peppermint essence



  • 1 tsp of raw Cocoa powder (Optional is you feel like minty-choc goodness)



In a blender and whip until smooth and silky and yummy. Mmmmmm Drink up and get vital babies!


LOVE LOVE!
