I love the sudden explosion of excitement that comes with a Friday. Today I’m feeling a little more excited than usual after spending a majority of the last two weeks indoors. I think it’s also because I finally have my strength back and can comfortably get back into my indoor-routines with Georgie. Organising, rearranging furniture, fixing things and cleaning, reading and being superheroes. This is what we do indoors. Cheers to good health.
The first time I heard of Erini was when I was asked to interview her for an article in the newspaper I used to work for. The reason for said interview was Erini’s popular workshops on raw food and how to advocate more raw ingredients and healthy meals into a hectic lifestyle. Although I have to admit I have only mastered one or two of her recipes-that’s only down to lack of motivation- I didn’t hesitate for a minute to grab a copy when I saw she had written a book with 100 recipes. All with no cooking involved. Soar on Raw combines mythology and mother nature in an inspirational and educational way and also boasts the most beautiful, colourful pictures. My favourite part is a shopping list she has included to get you started-because any person who prepares meals on a regular base knows how important it is to keep a well-stocked pantry and fridge. Oh and of course this book has spoken to the mother in me by including kids in the mix with recipes you can prepare for a child’s birthday party. I can’t wait to start feeding my family more raw goodies and getting this damn flu out of my system.
I totally made that name up, by the way. The overnight yoghurt delight is something I love to do for a number of reasons. It’s super healthy because it contains so many goodies, it’s the perfect breakfast to start a busy day and the best part: It take less than five minutes to prepare.There may be a few items you will need to pick up to give this baby a boost. These include superfoods like Goji berries, Chia seeds and frozen berries. The latter you can get at most supermarkets. It’s a good idea to stock berries and fruit, in general, in the freezer for smoothies or ice cream toppings. The rest you will have to source out at your local health food store. Mix all these with vanilla yoghurt or plain, some honey, if you like things sweet and even some cocoa powder, add porridge oats and/or granola and some milk. Next, you’re gonna shake that baby so it’s a good idea to put it all in a jar or container that seals WELL. Leave it in the fridge overnight so everything softens and blends and serve it up the next morning without any hassle or cooking. Love it! Love it!
