Yes I know, we're practically in March and I remember to catch up with my two readers!! Only joking I think there are three!! Actually I got an email from a kind soul passing on a video about raw choc, but I think I may have scared him off when I said raw choc doesn't really float my boat so the video kinda went over my head. Never mind back to two readers!
What's been happening? Well I had a lovely long break over Christmas which was blissful. Had a break from food which sounds weird but was also blissful. Of course we need to eat but it is liberating to step out of that for a time for rest and regeneration. We're talking healthy and intentional here, not eating disorder! I've been writing content but when there is something doing with that I'll let you know. And the snow was beautiful .........
What am I eating at the moment? Fruit until late afternoon mainly bananas or Thompson grapes or green smoothie with baby spinach, mango and pears. Also sometimes munch on apples and pears. I like that these are local but don't get myself in a bind about it. A small salad late afternoon dk green leaves, beetroot and avocado for the last month, and now replaced the beetroot with celery because I felt like it. In the evening tends to be either vegetable juice and sprouted bread from the Sunnyvale range, or lightly steamed sweet potato, broccoli etc on a bed of fresh greens with whatever herbs and spices I like with a touch of coconut oil, and nutritional yeast. At the weekends I have raw oat groats which I really like either with almond milk I've made from sprouting almonds or just with water and a bit of raw honey. I don't have any negative effects and it fills me up for the whole day. Initially I ground them into a coarse flour and added liquid and now I soak the groats and then process them in the Blendtech with the liquid. But both ways suit.
This week I soaked some wheatberries and then ground the sprouted seeds in the Cuisinart, spread on a tray and made hunza style or essene flat bread in the oven. How cool. Tastes nothing like bread. Very chewy so teaches you to 'fletcherise' i.e. masticate food properly!
I found this recipe on Wed and literally went home and rescued my soaking wheatberries. First try no less! There is something incredibly pleasurable about seeing a seed sprout. I just find deep sense of gratitude welling up when I eat without having to consciously think to give thanks.

Earthstar has some thought-provoking articles so worth a browse....
