A combination of freshly ground coffee beans brewed and mixed with raw cacao, mesquite, pure mexican vanilla beans and cayenne pepper with a frothed up cup of bonsoy or almond milk. It’s a morning treat that i’m forever going to look forward to. Buenos Dias! I miss you Mexico! 

Amounts: 

1 perculator filled of coffee makes about 3 cups or 2 charlotte sized coffee’s

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (cayenne- sparks your circulation making it amazingly warming in the cooler periods of the year PLUS kicks your metabolism up a knotch) 

1 tsp raw cacao powder 

1/2 tsp mesquite

150-200ml milk of choice frothed up thick 

You’ll have a mega kickstart!

The importance of organics being the main source of our daily nutrients. Benefiting us, bettering our insides to show from the outside. Always source locally where possible and if you want to be completely sure, grow it yourself!

Forever Beautify with… Bee Pollen 

Bee Pollen is collected from the little legs of the lady bee. It builds up on her thighs as she searches in the flower’s and then as she makes her way back into the hive she passes through a mesh screen which releases the pollen clusters from her legs. 

Bee Pollen is a potent incredible superfood full of a complete array of best-ness. Including almost all naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids, carotenoids, protein building amino acids, fatty acids, and enzymes. That is A LOT in a mouthful of this precious flora gold. With a glycemic index of zero it’s hard to believe the sweet honey like taste in your mouth. 

With twenty five percent of it’s make up being protein it’s also an amazing superfood to enjoy after exercise. Research has confirmed that Bee Pollen can aid in treatment for chronic prostatitis. So beneficial for anyone with prostate cancer. A tablespoon a day will give the average person enough of all the natural goodness this superfood holds. 

It is the most perfect on top of fruits or mixed with a small handful of cacao nibs. 

Try…

Whole cacao beans dipped in honey then crusted in bee pollen 

Look…

Keep your eyes peeled for local bee pollen in your town or in other countries. 

You’ll be surprised!

Forever beautifying… with LIVE FOODS

This Papaya made me smile so big!! I cut it in half and it consisting of already sprouted seeds within the fruit. So much living energy!

Papaya is soft on the digestive system and provides inflammatory relief, reduces joint pains and acne. Rich in papain, a digestive enzyme that can digest 200 times it’s own weight in protein. It helps to pull all the nutrition out of foods and for them to be assimilated to their maximum potential.

Papaya is the best, i always eat it with a superfood!!!

Hi! Instead of using the spiralizer i would just chop the zuchinni in the finest long strips possible without including the inside of the zuchinni. As for the blades on the food processor and S blade works the best especially if its shard and the processor is compact! Yum!! Enjoy:) forever beautify…

Forever Beautifying in Tapachula… 

It has been a little over two weeks now in Tapachula, Mexico. The small town sits 20 minutes from the border of Guatemala. The weeks have been full of hours looking after the 50 kids at Mision Mexico with the weekends including trips to the beach with perfect left handers and hundreds of coconut’s waiting to be the hydration & nourishment for anyone willing to pull themselves up the course trunk. Marisol, one of the girls, took me exploring teaching me but also using me for my extra inch’s of height. We collected cashew nut fruits, climbed coco tree’s and drank 6 each laughing the whole time about how we couldn’t understand anything coming out of eachother’s mouth. Complete spanglish, learning through her demonstrations and observing every tiny bit of it. I’ve spend any free time i have making my way to the local markets to purchase the local bee pollen, honey, and cacao beans that come strait from the plantation only 30 minutes away. We are looking forward to a trip to the waterfall where apparently cacao fruits grow plentiful. It’s beautiful and we can’t wait to further explore this country…

The Natural Form Experience within a new location- Costa Rica 

I’m on the move for the time being. Starting my main journey here in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. This is a journey of learning and experience in any way offered and self discovered. This particular place is stunning and abundant with health, vitality and vigor. Not only within the local community but the environment surrounding. The abundance of fruit and nut tree’s are endless from hundreds of mango tree’s to 1000’s of almond tree’s. Living off the land would be easy, my eye’s are open scanning surroundings for when the bank account gets low, but meanwhile i am definately living sustainably and environmentally aware. 

Tropical Breakfast 

1/2 Papaya (scoop seeds out so it becomes a natural bowl)

1 banana chopped into chunks 

1 mango diced 

1 handful Cacao Nibs sprinkled on top

No chocolate on Easter, the raw form wasn’t to be found anywhere in the small town, yet we substituted with grapes and dates:) HAPPIEST EASTER OF LAUGHTER AND FUN

Forever Beautifying with… Wild Figs and Spring Water

Over the last month i explored the coast with at least 1 friend by my side at all times. Starting in Sydney drove all up the east coast right up to Noosa Heads… wild fruits were picked, pure spring water was collected in mouths and many waves were felt…

Figs… the fig tree is a member of the Mulberry family. Its fruits are high in potassium which helps to control blood pressure levels. Also high in calcium, figs are helpful for increasing bone density. Manganese is also present within the fig as a trace mineral. The leaves of the fig tree also assist towards perfect health. They have anti-diabetic properties therefore lowering the amount of insulin diabetics have to inject into themselves. Another benefit of the leaf is it lowers triglycerides in the blood stream and prevents certain cancer cells from manifesting. Also a high source of fiber and its tiny little seeds scrape the digestive tract clean of anything thats clinging on… 

Springwater… if you see a spring that has it’s water coming strait from the rock with minimal contact to air drink as much as you can :) IT IS HIGHLY MINERALISED AND MAGICAL!!!!!

Forever beautifying… with Avocado

Native to the State of Puebla in Mexico, the avocado tree is found all over the world from Africa to Indonesia to New Zealand. The biggest output source of avocado’s for us is Mexico, and South America has also a large amount. Avocado trees can grow as high as it wants to reach the sky. My eye’s saw an enormous one in the jungle of Panama reaching about 50 feet. The warmth of the sun gets cuddled tightly by the thick body of the avocado fruits, sharing with you this warmth when you eat it. 

High in folate(heart protection), potassium(regulates blood pressure), beta-sitosterol(lowering cholesterol), high in oleic acid(preventing breast cancer), amazing source of glutathione(important antioxidant), best fruit source of vitamin E.

Nothing compares to the taste of an organic avocado…

Guacamole 

First mash and mix:

1 Avocado

Juice of one lemon

salt & pepper to taste

Then finely chop and add:

2 tomatoes 

1 brown onion 

1 chilli of choice

Mix and serve… YUM. 

Lately ive been really enjoying just slicing in half and spooning it strait into the mouth, try :)

Forever beautifying… with Sprouts

The LIVING BEAUTY of sprouts is irresistible in my eyes. There glowing growth shows their ever growing amount of nutrients. There enzyme content is high and satisfies your body’s cravings when devoured through your bouche. Evolving from the seed, there are many types of sprouts you can create. From alfalfa to sunflower seed to chickpeas and lentils…. more and more and more. Sprout salads are the best ever light lunch! Eat sprouts always, full of enzymes, vitamins, minerals and always beneficial fiber. 

I love living Sprout Salad 

1 handful of sunflower sprouts

1 handful of alfalfa sprouts 

1 handful fenugreek sprouts

1 handful cherry tomatoes 

2 tbs of sauerkraut 

1 clove garlic finely diced

1 handful peruvian botija olives 

however much raw apple cider vinegar you desire

Yummy light salad… perfect after some sunshine on your body and a few waves.

Forever beautifying… with Hemp Seed

Hemp seed (Cannabis sativa), one of the most nutritious food sources on the planet is found in the form of cold pressed oil, meal, and shelled seed. Shelled hemp seed is packed with 33 percent pure digestible protein, is rich in iron, vitamin E (3 times that of flax seed), omega 3 and GLA. Proteins (amino acids) are needed for growth and maintenance, enzymes and hormones, antibodies, fluid balance, salt balance, acid-base balance, energy, and so much more. Hemp seeds contain 66 percent high-quality edestin protein, which is the highest percentage of this of any plant source.  Our skins lipids are almost identical to hemp oil. So putting it on your skin will directly absorb and lubricate our cells inside and out, preventing skin aging and giving a healthy moisture balance. The good Fatty Acids in hemp help the body fight off bacteria, fungi, and viruses (eg. malaria). They lower cholesterol, protect heart health, heals and moisturizes skin, and reduces inflammation. The EFAs in hemp seeds have anti-cancer properties that inhibit tumor growth. Hemp contains more required amino acids (proteins) than milk, meat, or eggs. Contains Omega 3, 6 and 9, all essential and omega fats for human health, more Omega 3 essential fat than fish.

BITTER SWEET SYMPHONY IN YOUR MOUTH 

Small packet of each of the following:

Cacao Nibs
Goji Berries
