Gluten is a highly allergenic type of protein found in the grains of cereals such as wheat, rye, barley, oats and spelt. Wheat has the highest proportion of gluten out of all the grains, containing about 80% of it's total protein as gluten, which is why intolerance to wheat and wheat products is the most common.

Product Specials!

Goji Berries are much loved by many rawbies and mainstream peoples around the world. They are delicious when you soak them in warm water to make a tea. We love to eat soaked Goji's also which is something we learned from Gabriel Cousens when he was visiting Australia. We've got 15% off our goji berries until the end of July. Yum yum!

1kg regular price $49.95, Special Price $42.45

Cacao Beans... in winter we love a little chocolate, it goes so well with gojis too! Cacao beans can be crunched down to nibs and used in recipes such as raw choc chip cookies, or raw ice-cream (an acknowledgement of summer to our friends in the Northern Hemisphere) as well as smoothies, chocolate fruit dips and more!

Mesquite (pronounced mess-keet) is a wonderful winter food. We love to make smoothies with it using nut milk, dates, bananas and mesquite as well as make this recipe which is a huge hit with anyone who has made it. We've taken 15% off this item until the end of July.

Spiced Vegetables On Rice

An easy to prepare dish.

Getting Fit With Raw Pleasure

Fitness and health. Can you have one without the other? It's so easy to mix up the two. At Raw Pleasure we've made the mistake of thinking that because we eat fabulously that we have it all. Unfortunately it's not so! Our bodies are made to move and unless we use them... guess what? We lose them.They get weak and then they age.

So Jennie got online, had a lookat a few programs that are out there and decided to get moving with the P90X program produced by www.beachbody.com. We've put together some photos in our vid and have a blog online HERE. We're in week three right now and can definitely see results already. We'll have more photos for you on day 45 both on youtube and in our blog.

Local Events

Thanks to everyone for sending through their details. Our last few picnics have been awesome with delicious food and friendly faces to be found. Our next picnic will be in Brisbane in late February. We hope to see you there too.

If you are local to the Gold Coast/Brisbane/Northern NSW area? If you are and you would like to attend our picnics or be notified of events in our area please Contact Us and ask to be put on the Events list. This is a separate list to the newsletter list and is usually used only monthly.

Music!!!

Are you in a band? Or a great solo artist? We're always looking for cool music to use in our YouTube vids! Please contact us if you would like your music to feature in one of our videos. Sometimes we only use the very beginning and the very end of a song, but in other vids we use the song all the way through.

If your music is suitable we're happy to purchase your CD in return for permission to use your song and we'll advertise your bands link on our youtube channel and through the video also. We're after many different styles from jazz, to funk, folk, heavy rock, whatever. Death Metal is probably not appropriate though! We like to mix it up so send us through a link so we can hear your stuff! Yay!
