The Healthy Haven

Today was another day of devine dining! I started of with an hour of body movement! My juice was yet another stealth mixture of detoxifying greens! Cilantro, nettles, ginger, carrot, coconut water, zulini, celery and fennel!
Dinner was fit for a King or a Queen like myself:)
I started out with my raw butternut squash soup with young Tahi coconut cream and a mammoth salad with cuke, edible flowers, sprouts a bit of NON GMO lethicin and gynostemma herb! I finished with a bit of my Tahini garlic dressing and 4 Tahini carob balls with green tea coconut “vice cream”! Oh soooo good!

So today while sitting in a tea/coffee shop sipping my kangen 9.5 alkaline water, I overheard a obnoxiously loud women with a brutal NY accent telling her friend how she lost 7lbs recently by cutting out all sugar and carbs. I often here stories like this, people telling co workers, friends and family to stop eating “real food” and to start eating De natured cooked decomposing flesh to “get lean”!

I must admit that it’s hard for me to keep my mouth shut during one of these “rants” because, well…I know “stuff”…too much “stuff”! Today, I decided to just plug the mouth and listen. The woman was sitting about five feet away and as she was “ranting” I smelled her fowl breath! That’s right! All of that “good eating” of eggs, bacon, chicken and steak had made her breath and body oder “unbearable” she was telling her friend. Unfortunately I had a whiff of this when I first walked in and sat down.

As I got up to leave I handed her my business card and told her to check me out on FB. I also told her to look into some clorella for the “body oder/breath issue”.

It’s funny, the cleaner I become, the less tolerant of others wearing perfume and Cologne at the gym, over consumption of meat on ones breath and the worst NDFFS! What is NDFFS you ask? It stands for next day fast food stench!

When are we going to wake up and smell the wheat-grass! We live in a toxic environment and the time has come to take out the garbage!

People often ask me, would I date a meat eater? I have and I would has been the answer I often have given. Recently I’ve been pondering that! Do I want to exchange saliva with a meat eater, share a kitchen and fridge with decomposing matter…not so sure about this anymore. I feel that it is about educating others, especially those that we love and want to know and possibly love!

Today I was reminded…by a new friend that I am blessed! I was conplaining about my weight, not feeling my best and not looking my best in a recent interview I did. He said “Andrea, you eat better than 99% of the population, you are healthier than 99% of the population, just eat your fresh produce and simplify your life and you will thrive!” WOW! He is so on it! I honestly feel that people are put in our lives for a season, a reason or a lifetime, I know that God wanted me to hear what he had to say and used my friend to get his point across today:)

Late Day… Juice It!!!

So I woke an hour later than usual today. This usualy is a bad thing for me however today I turned a negative into a positive! I took a brisk walk and rebounded and decided to do my “juicy thang”! It’s 2pm and I just took in my “liquid lunch”!

Carrot, celery, parsley, spinich, bok choy, purple kale, cuke and ginger….about 36 oz including a young tahi coco.

I decided to juice it again until dinner! I find so much freedom when I “LISTEN TO MY BODY”! I had been trying the 80/10/10 thing again and honestly found myself on a sugary high for the last 24 hours and my body said “PLEASE listen…no more sugar, just for a day”! I started the day off with prayer and meditation followed by a trip to The PAC (Pacifica athletic club) AKA “Princesses addicted to cardio:) I always take a “Elixir tonic” to the gym to get my workout on!
 I came home and had the water from a young coconut (blood transfusion in a glass) along with about 34 oz of spinich, parsley, fennel, carrot, beet, cuke, celery juice….DEVINE! People always ask me “Andrea, do the green juices really taste that good?” “YES, THEY DO” I always reply! I find that I crave juices over most anything these days!

I ran errands and visited with my friend Gita! When I came home, the Tahini was calling my name! “Come and eat me, make me into something yummy…please”!
I had a huge salad with half a jar of homemade kim chee from a local farmers market, on top of one of my mammoth salads with cuke, radish, edible flowers and purple scallions! I followed it with my Divine Tahini dressing (see recipe section). This was truly a work of art! I took a celery stick to scrape the bottle of dressing and trust me if my head would have fit in the bottle, I would have licked it clean…so yummy!
I ended the meal with my “coconut bacon” and a few tahini/carob truffles!

Sipping some more blood transfusion coconut water now as I write and think about what I am grateful for today:)
