SWEET
green smoothie.

Green smoothies are a great to get your greens in without even realizing it! 
This smoothie will give the body a natural rush of energy! 
Kale is a great detox food. Kale is filled with fiber and sulfur, both great for regenerating the body and keeping your liver healthy.
 Sounds good, right? :)

A treat for you and the family!


Raw Vegan fruity crumble
...what a treat! 
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup organic walnuts
  • 1/2 cup organic almonds
  • 5-8 medjool dates (soaked for 5-10 minutes)
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • pinch of pink himalayan sea salt
  • ANY FRUIT OF YOUR CHOICE - Chopped Bananas, diced apples, berries or sweet another fruit!
Instructions: Put soaked dates in the food processor once they become soft. Pulse your dates until they are a fine consistency, in very small little chunks. Take your date mixture and place in a bowl. Add your walnuts & almonds and pulse again in the food processor until you have very finely ground chunks. Pour your nut mixture over the dates and massage together. Create a nice crumble texture. 
Slice your fruit of choice and place them in a bowl, take your crumble and sprinkle generously over your peaches or fruit of choice. If you like, you can sprinkle on a bit of himalayan salt and a tsp. of grade B maple syrup or raw honey to finish. Serve and enjoy immediately.
TIP! You can store the crumble in the fridge for up to a week and you can slice your organic fresh fruit in the moment to make a crumble any time.

On the go ORGANICS
Mason Jar salads!


Inspired? 
Work?School?Day at the beach?Airport? 
The list goes on! 
Pack a organic salad on the go with a glass mason jar. 
*HOW TO SALAD IN A JAR*
The mason Jar lets you layer the salad, and keep ingredients separate until you eat!
Place the firmer vegetables at the bottom of the jar marinate 
and even pickle a bit in the dressing underneath.
 *TIP* The lighter, more fragile ingredients sit on top.
When you're ready to eat, just dump all the ingredients into a big bowl, and toss them gently.
