Simple green juice without a juicer (make with blender)

Who want's to juice without a masticating juicer?


And it's easier without having  to chop small pieces to fit into the tube


Take a handful of kale 
Squeeze half a lemon
10-15 stem and leaves fresh coriander 
Add a litre of spring water
Teaspoon of spirulina 


Blend away till smooth


Now - take a sieve and pour contents into it over a jug of your choice



I like to pour into a couple of mason jars with lids and handles - one for the fridge and one for on the go!, I bought 4 pint sized mason jars with lids from Amazon see below, I also use them to store food items in such as hemp seeds, cacao.




This juice helps to pull heavy metals from out of the body!

1/2 cup desiccated coconut
1 litre of spring water
pinch sea salt
Tablespoon maple syrup/ or similar

Raw Lunch - Courgette noodles with creamy tomato and nettle sauce

Here is a quick and simple recipe for a raw food lunch that includes some wild food necessary to obtain deep rooted nutrients from fertile soil that has not been depleted due to industrial crop growing.



So what we go:


Take 2 small courgettes or 1 large one and either use a manual hand cheese grater or slicer, or a food processor using the large grater attachment, or a hand noodle maker.



Take 3 medium tomato's, cut 5-6 nettle leaves and place in a blender with half a ripe avocado. At this stage you can add some garlic and a few olives (un-pitted) and blend till smooth





Toss the courgette noodles in olive oil with a little sea salt, then pour over the sauce and enjoy

Wild Green Smoothie with Nettles and Dandelion's

I enjoy a raw food lifestyle and have noticed incredible health benefits along my journey the past 3 years. I stopped raw food and my health deteriorated very quickly and so I went back to raw till 4 and this is working well, till 4 is on whole foods and no sugar, bread, dairy etc..

The other change I made was to add wild foods to my diet, after all is raw food that's been sat in a shop for a few days really that vital still? No, not really!

I now add nettles that grow wild and pop them in my smoothie in the morning, or add to juices that I made around lunchtime.


So here goes my personal recipe












I melon of your choice
7 snipped leaves of nettles (top leaves) straight into a colander
3 dandelion leaves (from a dog walk free zone)
1 banana (optional) for breakfast bulk
1 date (optional) for sweetness








Blend away until the leaves are blended finely







Enjoy!
