Now I do realize how inexpensive it is to eat Romain Noodles and Mac and Cheese for the now. What will your future look like after years of nutrient-free foods. I love feeling healthy! I love tasting fresh I welcome you to experience how marvelous your body, heart and mind can feel better, beyond where it is NOW! Here in Las Vegas, NV Bikram Yoga Las Vegas is challenging their clients to a Yoga Fresh Food Challenge for 30-60 days. I am so inspired I would love to inspire anyone who cares to be inspired to take a FUN-FRESH LIVING FOOD-CREATIVE Challenge for any time you feel works for you.

Keep a Journal, then:
The FUN part: movement of your body in anyway you feel inspired dance, kick a ball, hike, yoga, throw a ball around with your kids or the neighbor kids, JUST MOVE and have fun doing it.
The Fresh Living Foods Part: consciously be aware of your food choices take in live fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, water, sunshine, clean air, etc
The Creative Part: See how creative you can be, Dream, Pretend and then make it happen if only in your mind, then observe what happens. Be a kid again! Life comes from the inside out, youthful thinking is your Fountain of Youth!

Email me with your results, I would love to know!

With all my love and Inspiration and Remember to Love Yourself and You will have more to give and love!

Start Your meal and juices flowing with a little:

DANCIN' TOON-A
Lemon-Dill Cucumbers (pickles): In the morning slice up a cucumber and put it into a glass jar, squeeze a lemon on top add a crush garlic, 1/2 TB dill and salt if you like (I use a little Dulse). Fill up the rest of the jar with water.

1 cup soaked Almonds (24 hours min, I love to peel them by pushing them in between my fingers and pinching them the skin with come off, you do not need to do this step)
1/2 cup soaked (5 hours) and dried Sunflower Seeds (just dry them on a plate for an afternoon, again you don't have to do this it works best).
1 lemon juiced
1 TB sweetener like agave, dates, etc
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup parsley, chopped finely
1/2 bell pepper (yellow or red), chopped finely
3 stalks celery, chopped in tiny pieces
4 green onions, chopped finely
1/2 apple, chopped finely
1/2 lemon-dill cucumbers, chopped finely
1/8 tea white or black pepper
1/4-1/2 tea dulse
1/2 tea dill dried or 1/8 cup finely chopped fresh dill

In a food processor add 1/2 the nuts and seeds and blend well with dulse, lemon juice, garlic, sweetener and seasonings. Add the rest of the nuts and seeds to the mix and pulse chop leave a bit of chunks put in a bowl and mix in the veggies. Taste and adjust to your taste remembering Sweet, Sour, Spicy, Salty, Bitter. Put in a lettuce leaf add a tomato slice, lemon-dill cucumber, sprouts, etc and ENJOY! I love this stuff!!
