Hi everybody! It’s been an incredible month in Hawaii! Whale watching, HUGE giant Waves on the north shore, getting glorious Greens at the Farmers Markets, beautiful Beaches, spectacular Hikes, and just being outside, and going on Adventures every day!
Nights are magical, the Stars are SO Bright and the air is balmy. So thrilling to hear the waves crashing.
It’s been a wonderful way to get in great shape and lose weight by hiking, biking and swimming. But my hopes to lose a few pounds were foiled by a lot of big creamy buttery Avocados still on my roommates tree, so I didn’t really lose any weight 🙂 ha!! even with doing WAY more exercise (and harder exercise!!) than usual.
And my $1 Flip Flops from the Dollar Store lasted the entire month!! Can you believe it?? That’s getting your money’s worth!!
I’ve been making us healthy Desserts every night, Chocolate Date Walnut Balls (with Dates, Walnuts, a pinch Sea Salt, Cacao Nibs) or Chia Pudding with dates, peanut butter and sliced Bananas on top. YUM!!
My Raw Vegan Diet is really simple here, with hardly any snacking!! Amazing. I guess since I’m so busy adventuring around every day. Maybe less hungry because I’m so busy having fun!
I make 2 big Smoothies (a green Smoothie, often with Noni Fruit, and a Fruit Smoothie) for day time, and then a giant Salad at night, and that’s pretty much it, except for Herb Tea (a cherished nightly ritual) and dessert.
I’ve been growing most of my normal Sprouts in jars, but noticed that some (Fenugreek, Garbanzo) got slimy & went bad fast. So on my subsequent batches I transferred those to the fridge faster than usual. My Lentils, Peas grew fine, and the Alfalfa & Red Clover needed more ventilation than normal. Probably because of the higher humidity!
I’ve been making my all time Favorite Secret Salad Topper, with locally grown Beets, Carrots, Ginger, Turmeric, Garlic & Onions. YUM! I absolutely love it on Salads.
I’ve been getting CANDY sweet luscious Royal Hawaiian Pineapples for only $2.50 each at Costco. Wow!! They’re outrageously good. They make the kitchen smell heavenly!! So I’ve been eating & Juicing a LOT of Pineapple.
We also visited a Mushroom Farm where they were growing buckets & buckets full of beautiful White & Pink Oyster Mushrooms!
Stay tuned for more pictures 🙂
