Welcome!

It started with a 30-day raw food experiment. Immediately, I noticed I had more energy, more motivation to exercise, really good sleep, and I became committed to living a more healthy lifestyle. After several months, I also experienced some challenges--digestion issues, low energy at times, food allergies, and a few other things.



Looking back over the last two years, I realize I have evolved. I've learned so much about healthy eating, about new and different ingredients, what works for me and what doesn't. My tastes have changed. The bottom line is that you have to figure out what works for you and that may take some experimentation and some time. It will be worth it in the end to have all of the benefits of improved health!

Chocolate Banana Shake


I have really come to love my organic raw cacao powder. I am just starting to experiment with it, as you saw in my hot cacao recipe earlier. Here is a very simple shake (or smoothie) you can whip up quickly--the banana gives it a rich, thick texture, and the cacao satisfies your chocolate cravings. You can use almond milk instead of water--I had used the last of mine, so just used water and it was still delicious. Kids love it, too.

Serves 2-3

2 Large Bananas
2 Tablespoons of Raw Cacao Powder (or to taste)
2 Cups of cold water
1-2 T Agave or sweetener of choice, to taste

Whirl all together in blender til smooth and creamy. Drink with straw!
