Be the BEST version of you

Your digestion begins the minute you take your first bite. We often think of digestion in terms of what happens behind the scenes long after we swallow, but a crucial part of the equation begins right away.⁣

To help make digestion easier on your body, be sure to chew your food well before swallowing. This releases your body from doing the work for you, allowing it to absorb more nutrients and making the process more efficient and effective.

A good rule of thumb is to chew each bite 20 times. This may seem like a lot at first, especially if you're generally a quick eater. Give yourself a week of being incredibly mindful of this, and you'll be well on your way to building a new habit of chewing well.

Crisp Chocolate Slab
You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to actually make your own slab of chocolate. This is a classic recipe and will show you just how easy it is to make delicious natural chocolate without all the additives and preservatives found in commercial chocolate.

Ingredients:
195 g cacao butter
120 g cacao powder
10 tablespoons of maple syrup
1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla powder
½ teaspoon of salt
250 g pistachio nuts
250 g goji berries

To Make:
• Place a glass bowl into a pot of simmering water. Make sure the bowl is not actually touching the water but just sitting above it.
• Melt the butter in the bowl.
• Once melted, add all of the other ingredients except the pistachios and goji berries.
• Stir the ingredients in the bowl until they have combined evenly and you have a smooth chocolate.
• Line a tray (such as a baking tray) with greaseproof paper.
• Roughly chop the pistachios and add half of the nuts and the goji berries to the mixing bowl.
• Pour the mixture into the tray until the chocolate is about 1/2 cm thick deep.
• Sprinkle the remaining nuts and goji berries over your chocolate slab.
• Once it’s cooled down, place the tray into the fridge to set for at least 3 hours.
• Once set, break into chunks and store in airtight container in the fridge.

Add a warm and appealing flavour and aroma to your dishes. Sage is potent, so you won’t need much. You’ll also love just a little of it with extra virgin olive oil and zucchini pasta (zoodles) to create a restaurant-worthy dish even on your busiest night of the week. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​🌿

Avocado Ice Cream​​​​​​​​​Serves 6​​​​​​​​​
Ingredients:
1 tin (can) (13.66 ounce) of coconut milk
2 avocados, peeled and pitted
1 cup maple syrup or agave syrup, or to your taste
1/2 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed (5 limes)
1 tablespoon lime zest
1/4 cup water

Directions for blender:
• Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides a couple of times for a smooth texture.
• Simply pour into sealed container and let it freeze about three hours or overnight.
• Serve immediately or freeze for a firmer texture.

Directions for ice cream maker:
• Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to your machine’s instructions.
• The ice cream is finished when you scoop some out and it stays on the spoon without sliding off right away (about 20 minutes).

Recipe Notes:
• This ice cream becomes quite hard when it’s fully frozen, so it’s best to let it soften on the counter for 15 minutes or so before serving it.
