Product Of The Month: Book  - The 80 10 10 Diet

The 80-10-10 diet is a great way to clean out your body. Written by Doug Graham, The 80-10-10 Diet explains in meticulous detail his style of raw vegan eating designed to give you high energy, a muscular yet trim physique, clear eyes and skin, and a mighty good clean out all at once.
 
What does 80 10 10 (or 811) mean? Simply put it means that someone eating this way, an 811er, will get 80% of their calories from fruit sources, 10% of  their calories from fat sources and 10% of their calories from protein sources. All raw, all vegan. Doug outlines why many raw vegans have troubles with their food programs and outlines scientifically why this is so.
 
The 80-10-10 book is interesting, thought provoking (therefore can be controversial), and possibly life changing. For this reason and because it's how we like to detox a couple of times per year we are discounting The 80-10-10 diet by $10 until the end of February. Happy reading and detoxing!

Kelp Noodles!

We are overstocked! They are such an awesome product but we need to make some room. Until sold out the kelp noodles are available for a short time at 50% off. Enjoy!
 

Sunrise Pudding

In keeping with our 80-10-10 special we are adding a simple, delicious fruity recipe. This recipe is actually courtesy of Jennie's mum. When Jennie stayed at her mum's house during her Christmas holiday her mum had bought Mangoes and Strawberries for brekky. What a great mum! Jennie blended them and found heaven in a cup. What a fabbo breakfast!
 
Ingredients:
 
1 large or 2 small mangoes
250g of fresh, organic strawberries
 
Method:
 
Place mangoes and strawberries in your blender and pulse until not quite smooth. If you have a stick blender or a Tribest just blend until the desired consistency is reached.

Event! Joy Of Life Retreat

We are excited to be attending the Joy Of Life Retreat in Thailand this April. Run by the Boutenko family, the retreat will take place at breath-taking Chao Lao Beach, in the region of Chanthaburi. This place is famous for its mile-long fruit market and excellent $4/hour Thai massages. The resort is located 4 hours away from Bangkok, where everyone will be picked up and transported to the site in a comfortable (air-conditioned) bus. By the way, April is peak fruit season in Thailand, especially for durians. We are planning to serve a lot of ripe organic fruit along with green smoothies.
The price of this 8 day retreat is $1,200, which includes accommodations both in Bangkok and Chao Lao Beach, bus for a trip to and from Chao Lao Beach, all meals, classes, and handouts.

Sign up soon; space is limited to 40 people and more than 15 of those spaces are sold already!
