Carrot Wraps and Crackers / Annapolis

My carrot wraps and crackers got fabulous!! i did not divide the wraps before dehydrating and i liked doing it this way because i then cut the rough edges off after dehydrating and continuing dehydrating the edges to make crackers. so i got lots of wraps and a few crackers from the one batch!!
the wraps!!

the crackers!!


this morning i made a delicious cleansing batch of celery juice with my Hurom!! it was perfect after my equinox workout!!

i also made another big batch of carrot ginger juice which i enjoyed this afternoon!! i have loads of pulp left over which i will probably make more wraps and maybe some veggie burgers!! we'll see!!


today was grocery shopping day. i hit moms and whole foods. check out my counter!!

today we ventured out to annapolis to our friend's house which is right on the water!! it was beautiful!! mason is soooo into soccer right now and had a blast playing with everyone.
owen eating his vega bar before heading to annapolis.

we played loads of soccer!!




Today i nourished myself with:
24 ounces water, lemon, cayenne

10 ounces celery juice, chlorella tablets
24 ounces carrot ginger juice plus supplements
2 fuji apples on the way to annapolis
1 handful soaked goji berries
16 ounce sun warrior vanilla protein shake- just protein and water
green kombucha tea with chlorella tablets

i hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful day!! kelly

New Juicer and more....

Check out my new juicer!! i still love my green star and still use my vitamix with nutmilk bag to strain on days that i want it done fast but i've heard great things about the hurom and needed to test it out for myself. so far its great!! its easy to put together, easy to use, its actually pretty fast, and totally easy to clean. Today i did carrot ginger juice and the pulp was extremely dry!! i have to say it was close to as dry as using the Norwalk Press!! i will buy the Norwalk Press soon too!!



after making my carrot juice i had loads of carrot pulp left so i decided to make some carrot cumin flax wraps!! they are in the dehydrator now.
Carrot Cumin Flax Wraps:
2 cups carrot pulp
1 cup ground flax seed
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp sea salt
2 cups water
the carrot pulp.

sprouted ground flax seed.

Process all ingredients in food processor.


Spread evenly on two dehydrator sheets.

i usually cut the wraps prior to dehydrating but today i'm going to try cutting them after and see how it goes. i'll keep you posted.
i enjoyed another raw frozen fruit ice cream today!! i've been loving these. Blueberry Mango Banana with sun warrior vanilla protein!! delish!!!

Raw Fruit Ice Cream!!

Tonight we feasted on some delish raw fruit ice cream!! its sooo simple and fun. take frozen organic fruit, throw it in the vitamix and voila!! Delish creamy ice cream!! i often add vanilla sun warrior protein because i love the flavor, texture and it provides me with more protein. check it out:
My glass of Blueberry Mango Banana with sun warrior vanilla protein. i ate three of these glasses!!

owen enjoyed his on a cone. i have not figured out how to make a raw vegan ice cream cone yet. so i use organic gluten free cones for the boys.

mason wanted banana ice cream.

mason had some in a cup and some on a cone!!


they loved every bite!! delicious and nutritious treat for the whole family. plus its a great activity to get the whole family in the kitchen!!

enjoy!!

Update!! raw food class, colonics, infra-red sauna and more...

Busy week and i was focused on getting to bed early so i did not get to post much this week. here are some inspirational happenings from the week. my days of course start with my nourishing green juices and chlorella tablets!! i'm totally stocked up on my chlorella tablets now. i ran out last week and went two days without them and i won't let that happen again!!


today we did buckwheat pancakes for the boys and i always add in a scoop of sun warrior vanilla brown rice protein which makes them even more nutrient-dense!!


i challenge you to change up your green juice every day!! some days do sweet juices by adding apple, pineapple, pear, carrot or beet and other days make them savory by adding a dash of sea salt and garlic!! variety is the spice of life!!
as i'm writing this i'm munching on this huge bowl of watermelon. its my second today. so far today i've had my green juice plus extras, supplements, chlorella tablets, nourishing teas and two big bowls of watermelon!! delish!! plus a fabulous equinox workout at 5am this morning. i plan on a power smoothie later.


wednesday i had a fabulous group of women at my house for a vita-mix/raw food uncooking class!! i love sharing my home and knowledge with groups of people who want to live healthier, more energized lives!! i forgot to take pics during the event but here is my fabulous kitchen before the event.

here are all the soaked nuts and seeds for the various recipes we did.

my kitchen after the event!!

participants get to see some of my favorite products, brands etc.

i demonstrated how to make:
green juices
green simple smoothies
power smoothies
nut/seed milks
almond milk "coffee" drink
pate
nori rolls
zucchini pasta
i pack my classes with loads of nutrition/lifestyle information so people always leave with loads of ideas and knowledge!!
get a group together or email me with topics you want to learn about and i'm happy to organize a class/workshop at my house! its also great doing them at my house because you get to see what a raw food kitchen looks like and see essential equipment, products etc..

here is the fabulous power smoothie i did after the class to nourish me the rest of the day!!

coconut water
gynostemma tea
berries
banana
spinach
kale
sun warrior protein, pure synergy, barley grass, blue manna
crystal energy, ionic minerals
dulse, kelp
lecithin
acai powder

Thursday was my COLONIC AND INFRA-RED SAUNA DAY!! one or two times per month i do a colonic and infra-red sauna. it is amazing how clean and light you feel after doing any detox aides but especially this combination!! if you have not explored colonics please research them and decide if its something you want to try. i highly recommend it.

Today, owen and i had a blast at mommy and me class where they made muffins!!
owen was sooo excited to help make the muffins!!

he ate 4-5 mini muffins!!


namaste, kelly

Spirulina Green Juice!!

Happy monday!! what a crazy weather day- sun, snow, sun, snow??? Crazy!! i'm sooo happy i just got my order of chlorella tablets in the mail!! i honestly crave them daily!! they are loaded with chlorophyll and protein and sooo much more!! i also just love to chew something when i'm drinking my green juice. it gives me the kick of additional nutrients every morning. This morning i only had about 20 left so i ate those and still needed something else. i did a great strength training workout at equinox so my body needed to be replenished. i went for the spirulina!! i had about 4 tbsps total and it totally nourished me!!
i love how frothy it gets when i lightly blend my green juice with spirulina!!

i used my spirulina from longevity warehouse today!!


owen is loving caring for his herbs he planted on saturday at the Can Do Kids Fair!!


i love having fresh flowers in the house. check out these beautiful colors!! sooo fresh and rejuvenating!!!



i challenge you to add some nutrient dense green powders to your juices some days for extra power and energy!!
