The Green Queen

Free Teleseminar!

Hey everyone! I know I haven't blogged for a while, I got married in the summer, started a business, took on a new job, blah blah!

Anyway, as you probably know, I run another website called Raw Brides. It's a site for women getting married (or even looking forward to a special occasion) 

I'm running a free teleseminar on Thurs 17th December, 8pm GMT, about getting through Christmas without gaining a dress size (or two), and how you can use raw food and a simple set of tools to lose weight. It's applicable whether you are a bride-to-be or not. 

I know it's late notice but if you are interested but can't make it, then you can still register and you'll get the recording afterwards sent to you free. You'll also get a free copy of my report: 7 Secrets to the Wedding Day Body of Your Dreams - which is useful, even if you aren't getting married, and a subscription to Raw Brides Weekly (you can unsubscribe anytime)

For more information and to sign up for the free teleseminar, click here to visit Raw Brides.

Look out in 2010 - I'll be blogging a lot more about raw food, detoxing and all that great stuff!

Merry Christmas - I hope it's happy, healthy and above all, full of LOVE

 

Raw Hen Party - What lovely friends I have!

I had my hen party last weekend organised by my bridesmaid Jacqui, and it was such a lovely day!

A tea party in the afternoon and then drag queen cabaret and chinese food afterwards.

What was even more lovely is how supportive my friends are of my (aspired) diet and lifestyle choices.

We had a raw chocolate mousse cake by Charlie's Raw Treats, as well as her brownies, figgy bites, lemon pockets and almond cookies. Blanka of Gracefully Raw made raw crackers and the most amazing lemon coconut macaroons! My writer friend John Tyson of Be Free, even made a raw chocolate mud cake (he's not even raw - he googled it - how sweet!). Karen Knowler told me that champagne is raw too and I had a LOT of that!

Of course there were lots of other non - raw goodies and I ate them all - gorgeous muffins, meringue (my favourite!), cute little sandwiches, gorgeous potato salad! Washed down with pimms of course!

Thanks my lovely friends! More photos on my facebook page - I'm laughing hysterically in all of them!

The most delicious raw cakes, chocolate and treats EVER!!!

I've never really had a sweet tooth. Regular readers will know that it's savoury crisps and things that get me, but I discovered raw chocolate, raw desserts and other things - and I'm a bit of a convert.

When I did the Karen Knowler Raw Online Business training recently, I was lucky enough to have some wonderful women in my group. Lisa Simpson of Raw Liberty (more about her in a future post), and Charlie Lagoa who runs Charlie's Raw Treats. 

Charlie handmakes a range of gorgeous raw cakes, and other treats that are unbelievably, made without dairy, wheat, or refined sugar. During the training, we heard all about the ingredients she uses, and trust me - it's a seriously quality product, with only the best stuff in it and handmade with love. 

I tried her raw chocolate brownie, and it was sooooo good. Also, her lemon cheesecake is so amazing that we're going to order one for the vegans at our wedding to have instead of the traditional lemon tart.

She just launched some raw snack packs too, which look lovely, and great if you need some raw snacks handy for work or at home. Particulary for me, I need something mid afternoon otherwise I prowl around the vending machines!

Check her out - she's going to be huge in the world of raw food, and you can say you heard of her first! And, not I'm not an affiliate, just a huge fan! www.charliesrawtreats.co.uk

Raw comfort food.. in a glass

What do you crave when you're feeling cold and miserable?

After weeks of storming hot and humid weather in London, today was cold and wet - BOO!

I was about to make a green smoothie for dinner, but I wanted something warm and comforting!

So, this lovely little shake was my experiment. Just wizz up everything in the blender, get into your PJ's and enjoy!

Raw "Milk" Shake

1 frozen banana

1 medjool date

1/2 tablespoon of raw almond butter

1/2 tablespoon of organic coconut butter /oil

Some spices: cloves, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon

Some sesame and hemp seeds

2 cups of warm water (boil the kettle and let it sit for a while)

It's very sweet but warm and thick. It actually made me feel a bit drowsy, but happy :)

BTW - I'm on Day 2 of my Blessed herbs cleanse - nothing to report. You eat fairly normally and take some pills. I'm really happy because on both days I resisted the urge to eat bad food, so I'm really proud of myself.
