Yehaaa!
That was the phrase I sang out every time I took a walk with my Grammie this weekend who desperately need some motivation to move after a tramatic weekend of receiving over 7 pints of lost blood. She was rushed to the hospital with bleeding to later determine that the cause was a disease called Diverticulitis. Diverticulitis is an inflammation caused by compacted hard fecal material getting impacted into herniations along the colon-WOW sounds painful. This is a disease which is normally caused by a diet LOW in FIBER. A very common disease the nurse told her nonchalantly as if because many people had it, it wasn't a danger to your health. That got me thinking! FIBER is a huge component in the diet of raw foodies-in the form of fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, dried fruit-Yep the whole diet=Fiber. Now look at a SAD typical diet. pancakes with syrup, white bread with mayo and cheese and meat for lunch, and steak for dinner with a roll and some cooked skinless mashed potatoes=virtually no fiber! We gave her some education on this. But while she is healing she is eating a diet LOW in fiber called a Low residue diet so that she can heal! After that it is recommended to increase your fiber intake gradually. I will talk about Fiber and the benefits of fiber later today...Time for class!
Be back soon,

Happy Turkey Day?
Hey Friends,
I hope you are all enjoying this holiday to celebrate the bounty and abundance of mother nature. Isn't it amazing how much this Earth can offer to us? This is a fantastic time of year for persimmons, sweet potatoes, root vegetables and tubers, apples and pears, garlic and onions...the list goes on. I particularly love Persimmons!
I was at school the other day about to go home for break and someone wished me a Happy Turkey Day. I said "you too!". It wasn't until later that I really thought about those words. How happy could that turkey be that sits on most American's kitchen tables, roasted all day and stuffed. I can't imagine that it's too happy! Plus, judging by the way you feel after eating turkey (tired, full, lethargic and sleepy) your body isn't very happy either.
This year was my very first raw Thanksgiving!
I started my day with a Delicious greeeeen smooothiieee...with bananas, spinach, celery, ginger, cucumber, bee pollen, and carrot top greenssss....Wow-no words to describe how good!
The rest of the day was fruits, fruits and more fruits until Thanksgiving Dinner!
Before the meal, my mom, dad, brother and myself listed all of the things we were thankful for
Justin-our dog Ruby
Dad-our health and the delicious food
Mom-that our grandma was doing well and our new Raw food journey
Me-health, happiness, finding raw food, my family and friends
Now for the Dinner!
Appetizer: cauliflower popcorn with nutritional yeast
Main meal:Raw cranberry sauce which my mom lovingly made.
mixed green and Boston lettuce Salad with tons of yummy veggies such as carrots, tomatoes, snap peas, fresh corn, daikon radish, and zucchini.
For Dessert:...A YUMM pot which was CASHEW butter mixed with dark mesquite powder!
Makes me think to myself-could life be any better?
My first raw Thanksgiving and this year-I not tired after eating cooked food that I labored to make all day but dinner took just minutes (Sort of like the time my digestive system took to digest my meal) and I had energy to take a walk, play with the puppies, take a ride with my dad and to jump around to the Thanksgiving day parade performers! lol
You CAN eat this way...You CAN feel this way!
I am about to announce an amazing adventure that I will be taking starting in DECEMBER...
I will be starting a JUICE FEAST. I will be drinking only juices for a minimum of 30 days. In which time I hope to heal from emotional attachments to food and detoxify my body from years of toxins and food allergy induced damage to my intestines. I will talk more about it before I begin. In the mean time my juicer will be coming soon and I'll be breaking it in with a juice daily!
I hope you all celebrated in the company of loved ones. And if you did eat a Turkey-I hope you enjoyed it and were thankful for all it sacrificed to bring you joy, abundance and nourishment!
Much Thanks,
Rawkn Yogini~

Sunday night and feeling alright!
Good evening,
So I met them. I met my rawk star idols, Angela Stokes and Matt Monarch. They looked exactly like I had pictured them. Vibrant, enthusiastic, energetic and passionate about their cause. Their stories seemed very rehearsed though and they left no time for questions or comments or ideas which was disappointing. They spent a long time plugging their website, books and products instead of really delving into the stories of others in the room. It hit me about half way through their "speeches" when I asked Matt a question about my sudden soy intolerance after years of eating soy without adverse effects. He brushed off the question as if I had interrupted him and continued telling "his" story. My mom leaned over to me and said "They travel the country telling their stories and selling their products. This is how they make a living". I didn't want to believe it, but it was true.
There were so many people at the Potluck that I could barely walk around. I felt very cramped and really didn't get a chance to talk to anyone there except my mom. The raw foods were good though. My mom brought dried pineapple that she dehydrated with lime and cilantro(YUMMY) and I made guacamole in endive leaves (also great).
I learned a valuable lesson yesterday. You can't live your life in anyone else's footsteps or with their ideas in your mind. Instead, you need to live life for yourself-you need to pave your own way to learn what works best for YOU. Sure we are all humans but we are sooo different, our bodies, our likes and dislikes, our experiences, our daily activities, our environment, our love and support from friends and family...these things all differentiate us from one another.
Love yourself and remember....We are all Rawk stars!

Thirsty Thursday takes on a whole new meaning!
Hi everyone,
I'm sure the title of this blog took you back to your college days. You probably remembered that as Thursday night rolled around, your college campus would come alive with drinking parties, late night pizza slices, and embarrassing morning after pictures and ill feelings. This is known as a SAD diet by Raw foodists. This both because you feel sad and emotion eating this way and because it stands for Standard American Diet. I was reminded of these things when reminiscing with an old friend who remembered nicknames we would give cheap disgusting beer brands and people we would text or call at 3 in the morning to tell about our adventures. This made me think about something crazy! College kids are living toxic-super unhealthy lives despite being at the prime time of their lives. College students are ages 17-23 years old and most are drinking several nights a week, eating junk food, getting no sleep, getting very little exercise, and having stressful sleepless nights! They are setting the stage for habits and behaviors that they will carry with them for the rest of their adult lives. What is happening here!? We should be climbing mountains, running marathons, protecting the planet, volunteering and loving life not ignoring it with toxic drugs and alcohol.
Thirsty Thursday for me was a hot sweaty yoga class followed by drinking ice cold water and having cold freshly squeezed orange juice. mmmm yummy.
This bog is dedicated to my college friends who want a couple recipes for healthy, delicious raw foods that will fill them up with nutrients and energy instead of toxins and regret.
Salsa:
1 large tomato, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 red pepper, diced
1/2 jalapeno pepper, finely diced
1/2 yellow onion, diced
juice of 1/2 a lemon
pinch of salt and ground black pepper
Mix in bowl and enjoy!
Guacamole:
1 avocado, mashed
1/2 tomato, diced
1/2 green pepper
1/2 jalapeno, finely diced (don't touch your eyes)
1/2 lemon, juiced
pinch of salt and ground black pepper
Mix and serve!
Enjoy these two delicious simple recipes with a green salad...I love mixed greens, spinach or boston lettuce!
If you come over I'll whip this up for you! Hey I might already have it made-it is my staple food!
Eat well and Be well!

Looking Forward but staying in the present
Hello again,
I hope you enjoyed that story from yesterday as much as I did!
Today is *monday* and it is the beginning of a new and exciting week filled with challenges.
But bring em' on!
I have several things going on at school. The biggest "thing" is a huge Nutritional Biochemistry exam. I am determined to educate and enlighten myself so that I am prepared to WOW my teacher on Wednesday afternoon when I take my exam! I think I can I think I can! lol.
Also with this challenge also comes a fantastic reward. I will be meeting and listening to my two idols, Matt and Angela Stokes Monarch on Saturday in Maine. Not to mention, I will get to enjoy some delicious raw foods since it is a potluck, I will meet some awesome raw love bugs (people), spend the day with my mom, and RELAX. Woohoo for weekend excursions.
Now back to reality!
I had a friend from class today come to me about dry, irritated skin and hair. I told her about an excellent way to help this especially this time of year when most SAD people eat very little water rich produce and much more heavy dense foods. Anyone can benefit from this piece of advice that I gave her though, whether you are 100% raw or 2% raw.
Skin Brushing:
This is a gentle way to exfoliate your skin and move toxins out of your body through your lymphatic ducts.
The concept is simple. It requires a wooden bristle brush that you can purchase from almost any health food store or body shop.
You brush your arms, legs, shoulders, buttocks, chest, stomach toward your lymphatic ducts near your groin and armpits. your upper half you brush toward your armpits and your lower half you brush upward toward your inner thighs or groin.
In order to get a detailed picture of this just search for skin brushing in any search engine or on youtube.com
You will do this first thing in the morning BEFORE you take a shower!
This will even help with circulation and waking you up first thing in the morning!
Your skin will feel amazing and you may not even need lotion. But sure you drink lots of water to facilitate this toxin elimination.
I noticed a difference in my skin within just a few days!
I will keep you posted on my studying...Have a wonderful day

Fabulous Weekend!
Hi everyone,
Yesterday may have been one of the most spectacular days I've had -at least in a month! lol! I started my rainy morning doing some light cleaning. I put on some yoga clothes strapped my yoga mat onto my shoulder and journeyed to my yoga studio to sweat out some toxins and brighten my mood and physical strength and flexibility! Woohoo! Yeehaaaww...
Then I spent the day with my mom and dad and a bunch of my friends at my studio owners fabulous home (with a gorgeous garden) for a real treat!
A living raw foods class all Day! From 1-6pm all we did was talk about raw and living foods and sample some delicious holiday themed dishes. Faux turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed "potatoes", mushroom gravy, pumpkin pie, carrot apple juice....Haha wow I ate all that!? I met some fantastic people. One person more amazing than the next. I especially loved those that had never eaten or heard of living foods. They loved the food and were so blown away that they were asking what type of knives and food processors they should go out and buy the next day!!!
But there was one guy that really inspired me...Here is his story!
He said that as a child and most of his adult life he resented his father who was a farmer. The man said he wanted to live a "better" life. When he was in his 20's, he was watching a television special on longevity-he was very skeptical of destiny and fate and often needed everything concrete and calculated for him to believe it. As he was watching this special, something told him to go down to the basement. As he walked down to the cellar of his house he felt compelled to open up a dusty book on his library shelf. He opened to a "random" page that read "How to live a long and healthy life". It was one of his father's farming books that talked about living the life of a farmer who gets to work and live off of his land and eat his own fresh produce. Well arrogantly he shut the book and went back up stairs. Little did he realize that that moment would come to him almost 20 years later. He became your typical 9-5 business man; eating cooked food and feeling totally detached from the world. Though he was living in a beautiful house and making money he didn't really FEEL his PURPOSE in life Nor did he feel any particular ENERGY to find it. One day his wife became fed up with the way "she" had been feeling for most of her life. In a quest to feel better she discovered raw living foods. As she adopted this foreign idea and way of eating so too did her husband. Before long the man started seeing his purpose much more clearly. He recalled that day in the basement and decided that he wanted to go back to his roots and become the farmer that he for so many years dismissed. He says he has found his path, his DESTINY. He no longer feels lost or lacking in energy. Everyday is a new adventure and piece of the puzzle. This man inspired me soo much. He was glowing with life and energy. EVERY raw person I have met has had a similar enlightenment. I can't believe I am apart of such an amazing movement!
I hope this story made your day as it did mine!
I made my mom some raw treats today including...
raw chocolate pudding!
Here's the basic recipe:
2 avocadoes-smashed
2 heaping tablespoons of cacao powder/carob powder
some agave
mix and enjoy!

Juice for Life!
Hello Hello,
I took a walk this morning and it was so warm out! I swear it was only 7am and it was already 70 degrees out! Wow~what an amazing start to my day. Shortly followed by a fabulous green smoothie.
Lunch was some amazing juice and an apple with hemp butter! (Manitoba) Hemp butter=amazing. I will never eat almond or another other nut butter again after having Hemp butter. It's filled with protein, omega-3 and 6 unsaturated fats and is so delicious.
Juice is so amazing-your body just soaks up all those nutrients-no stomach acids needed to break it down just straight to the small intestine to absorb all those fabulous nutrients!!
I'm studying to be a dietitian so I had an clinical internship today; I love learning about patients! Maybe I'm naive but I hope to heal everyone that I see with raw food and make the world a more delicious and healthy place. No more white sugar, flours, only pure whole foods :-)
I came home and gave my mom raw dehydrated onion bread that I made (took a while but was well worth it). She loved it!! It was made with lots of love!
Time to do some reading and studying!
One question before I leave...what are your favorite raw foods?
If you tell me yours I'll tell you mine!

Monday Monday
Hello again,
It is Monday morning at 8:07am according to my computer clock and I'm getting ready for a busy day. Yesterday after my last post I took an amazing yoga class, bought some pots for a couple plants that needed a home, and picked some raspberries at a local farm! So fun!
Today I've been up for about an hour and a half-Green smoothie already made and packed..YUM...and I'm just about ready to study for a test this morning in a Roman Civilization class. Learning about ancient Roman food, dress, education, midwives and more! Believe it or not the Romans were mostly RAW. Their cakes were date nut tortes with simply nuts and dates! They loved honey and wine and pickled vegetables-they ate fresh salads every day!
As my mind races this morning with commitments and obligations I am reminded that I can only do one thing at a time. Only one task! Make a list, check it twice and cross things off as you accomplish them-you'll feel better and at the end of the day you will see how much you have accomplished!
Enjoy your green smoothies and good luck with your to do lists!
Shanti (Peace),

Gorgeous Sunday!
Hi there!
Hope you are sitting beside your window like me with the curtains pulled open. I hope you are basking in the warmth and light from the shining sun. There is nothing more beautiful than the sun's energy and light warming the outreaching branches of a white birch tree or the sweet innocent face of child rollerskating down the street. At least today there is nothing better. I take advantage of the sun's energy during the summer months; but it's easy to get used to that incredible vibrance that you feel as your body naturally hummmss as you sit on your porch or take your dogs for a walk. Now that the season is changing and the sun doesn't break from the clouds quite as much we must worship its presence by recognizing its power! Get outside when you can.
I decided this morning when I woke up at 7am that it was time to move. I put on a comfortable pair of sneakers and a big warm sweatshirt and began to walk. No clear intension or destination. Only to be. I didn't need music. The sounds of birds chirping, the wind rustling the leaves, an occasional dog barking and the occasional child laughing was enough for me! I closed my eyes as I walked and let my body guide me. Well I walked for nearly 45 minutes; totally with the sun's energy!
I came in and jumped into the shower and got dressed.
Smoothie time I thought! Greener the better! I made a spectacular Green superfood smoothie.
Here's what I had:
1 small red banana
handful of Kale
bunch of romaine lettuce
2 stalks of celery
3 Tbls of organic frozen blueberries and blackberries
1 Tbl of freshly ground bee pollen
1-2 Tsp of Maca powder
1-2 Tsp of spirulina powder
2 1/2 cups of filtered water
2 Tbl of raisins and golgi berries
BLEND=Amazing! YUM! this was around 9:30 and I drank that till 11:15am
Time for me to get out and take some yoga~
Remember to listen to your body~start your day with a Green smoothie!~Soak up the Sun!
Namaste~~
