Hello Everyone,

Here is another recipe that I created specially for VITAMIX and its amazing Campaign to help Australians eat more fruit and vegetables.

Please let me know how you go !

What you’ll need:
High speed blender like Vitamix.

Ingredients (I try to always use certified organic ingredients and farm fresh ingredients) :
3 bananas
1 lettuce head
2 bunches of mint leaves
1 cucumber
1 tablespoon of raw honey
3 peeled lemons

Method :
1. Leave all vegetables and leaves soaking in water and vinegar for 5 minutes to kill any parasites and to remove all chemicals sprayed onto them and then wash them in filtered water.
2. Blend all the ingredients in your Vitamix – start blending the leaves first.

Tips: Have it cold on a warm day ! Drink it throughout the day. This recipe will make 2 litres.

I think that is the right word. You could call it pure fibre… but it’s right name is “ispaghula, isabgol”.

The husks are portions of the seeds of the plant Plantago ovata, (genus Plantago), a native of India.

Psyllium is hygroscopic, in other words, it observes water expanding and become mucilaginous.

And that is the trick….it can be used as a source of soluble dietary fiber to relieve constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhoea and, to improve and maintain regular GI transit.

When psyllium absorbs water it creates volume of solid material and that works like an internal broom detoxing and removing unwanted materials from your body.

It also makes you feel full and satiated and that is great…you will end up eating less during the day.

I highly recommend you to have psyllium on a daily basis. It will improve your digestion , skin and detoxification.

You just need to make sure you are drinking plenty of liquids when using psyllium.

Another way to use psyllium is to mix 2 tablespoons of it into your green juices. Just make sure you mix it and swallow it straight away otherwise it can jellyfy in the glass or cup.

So get your psyllium today !

Raw cacao is the most powerful antioxidant on the planet and also the most misunderstood superfood.

Lets be honest – when you think about chocolate, you immediately think about something naughty, a junk food which is not good for you.

In reality raw cacao powder – I mean the unheated, unprocessed, pure and raw powder – is actually one of the most powerful antioxidants on the planet.
The problem with the chocolate bars that you buy in the supermarket is that they are processed so all the antioxidant capacity of the powder is diminished, and when mixed with dairy the antioxidant power is reduced even further.

Raw cacao powder contains 367% more antioxidants than the very best cooked cacao version. The same 100g of raw cacao powder would have over 95,500 Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) units (antioxidant capacity) compared to the 26,000 in the roasted version…it is way above any other food on the planet.

Raw Cacao also contains generous amounts of magnesium, and other essential minerals including calcium, sulfur, zinc, iron, copper, potassium, and manganese. As well it contains polyphenols called flavonoids, with antioxidant properties, vitamins: B1, B2, B3, B5, B9, E, oleic acid and monounsaturated fats. All those nutrients are beautifying ingredients…it couldn’t be more perfect than that !
I highly recommend raw cacao powder to be used on a daily basis to all of my clients, specially the ones involved in the fashion and beauty industries. Raw cacao gives you a glow and helps you to “reverse the clock” on aging.
The best way to use the powder is to make delicious raw recipes yourself, especially raw cacao bars. I have posted an amazing raw chocolate recipe here (http://theresekerr.com/vegan-easter-chocolates/)

Another easy way is to mix 3 to 4 tablespoons of raw cacao powder with a chopped banana and a bit of honey.

So have fun with your chocolate and remember , always have it raw !
