We are living a raw food lifestyle over 5 years now together as a family. So if you trust many of the rawfoodists out there, who say and preach that after eating raw food for such a long time, your system will almost collapse if you put just any little, tiny amount of processed cooked food in it, the we have something to share.
We already wrote this a couple of weeks ago, and we would like to share how it developed. Benny(our oldest) told us in December, that he wanted to try some cooked food... Continue reading ...
We recently had some changes in our diet again, and I wanted to share these new changes with all of you, as I know that so many people are following our family.
Some weeks ago our children watched the movie „Ice Age II“.
Now, we are normally not very keen on letting them watch movies, but it is quiet helpful in getting them interested in learning english. They would watch the film in english and afterwards they ask plenty of questions about english words and phrases, from sentences they really want to understand.
Now, there is this scene when the squirrle , which is crazy about his nut ends up in heaven. Heaven is filled with nuts and one really , ...
After being in Thailand for more then 3 months, we finally returned to the UK for a stop-over. We have become so familiar with the tropical lifestyle, that we were a little bit shocked about the change coming back. Right now in the middle of February the land and the people are soooo low in energy. Everything is cold, grey and waiting for the spring, which is fortunately about to come very soon. It made us realise how vibrant and healthy we are and feel. We just also realised, that we really ...
After we have been travelling for more than a month, and enjoying the sun, sea and fruits here in south-east asia, we had to go to Malaysia to renew our visa for Thailand.
And we arrived back on our beautiful, tropical island here and are happy to that we found another beautiful place. We are still eating a lot of ripe, tropical fruits, coconuts and have green juices every day. It just feels awesome together with the warm ...
And the diet changed again! After enjoying the exotic fruits to the absolute max, and having durian and jackfruit everyday,We finally balanced our diet again together with our children.
We start our day - after swimming in the sea altogether - again with some green! We have created a real power drink which is truely magical. We buy celery (which is far smaller but more powerful here), and dark green leave veggies at the market here. The dark leaves are unknow by us, but we have tested them an...
We have settled down in our new tropical reality and love it so much!
We couldn't even imagine how good it would feel having this intense sun, several baths in the warm sea everyday, and most important these fully ripe beautiful fruits.
Our diet has really changed dramatically since we are in Thailand. In the UK we had a high percentage of veggies and large amounts of green, and green juices. Since we arrived here we lived mainly from fruits, because they are so good here. But I have already ...
It is about time! We are so excited! In just 3 days - on Sunday, we are off for the winter! Jippieh! The kids (and we adults) are already counting the days since 2 weeks. Our children even say in the evening: " please let`s go to bed really early, so that Sunday comes faster!"
That is so cute! We are in the middle of preparing and packing, even though we feel relaxed.
Maybe it is because we have already travelled as a family so much. We know Thailand and we know how it feels there. Just great...
Our family is spiralising towards our big goal THAILAND.and the movement is faster and faster every day.
We are preparing and organizing, while all of our online work is continuing.
Food wise it is still a miracle. I personally still eat so little since a couple of weeks, that I cant`t believe it myself.
But I feel awesome with this little amount of food! I really concentrate on the green juice. I have the impression, that since I juice also wild edibles in my - our - juice, the need for real...
Today we have prepacked our backpacks for our trip to Thailand. Ever done that with 3 kids? Quite a task. We will go light and only have 2 pcks to carry,...
Anyway: Over the last days, I was eating very little. I mostly was drinking. No need for solid food. Felt great. The kids of course eat normal. We had lots of avocado, carrots, cucumber tomatos mish-mashs. Also we had some nice ripe fruits like honey melon and kakies for in between. Today the kids and Katie had a big salad as diner with av...
Beautiful family Sunday. We had the best breakfast on earth. DURIAN!! The kids couldn`t wait, for it and woke up quite early.
We enjoyed this with all our heart and soul, and felt completly nourished until noon. Then we had a green smoothie with marine phytoplankton and some maca (spinach, kale, water and banana).
Lateron we went to the aquarium in Torquay, a place the kids really love.
We enjoyed ourself as a family and spent the afternoon there. See them talking to the pinguins.
I woke up, and had a large glass of water with marine phytoplankton, while the kids were doing the green smoothie by themself this morning!!
(spinach, bananas, water), with some goji berries and maca. After that they had an avocado and carrots plus some grapes We made a nice mish-mash for lunch (avocado, carrots, cucumber, tomatos). The kids love this these days.
Lateron there was a biiig green juice (celery, nettles, spring greens, lale, carrots, beet root, 3 apples). The rest of the family ha...
We just booked our flights two days ago and are soooo happy, that we created our warm winter in Thailand! The kids are packing their backpacks twice every day, and walk around saying bye-bye to us going to Thailand when leaving the living room going to the kitchen. LOL
Sorry, the last update was a while. Our laptop was damaged and neede repair, and so we couldn`t update the way we wanted. Anyway. I had green juices every day, some days twice a day. Almost all juices were with wild edibles. Mos...
We woke up and were so filled with gratitude because the sun was shining so nice.The kids ran around and enjoyed to be alive!
I had my green smoothie sitting in the bright sun of fall and feeling good. The kids had another mish-mash they really loved, but I was fine with a big glas of water and some marine-phytoplankton.
I had a hemp-choko shake early afternoon. Unshelled hemp, 4 bananas, raw chocolate powder, maca, water and a bit of himalayan salt.
Today we had another special day! The kids were soo excited and ran around the whole morning until we started off! We woke up, made our green smoothie, with maca, and marine phytoplankton and drove off to Plymouth to buy us DURIAN. Jippiehh! The kids get so excited when it comes down to durian. (aehhh,... so do we adults, to be honest)
After we came back we had a mish mash. Squeezed avocado, crunched carrots, cucumber, and sliced tomatos, all mixed together. Everybody had a plate.
We started in this beautiful Family-Sunday with a alltime best drink ever, before we enjoyed this day together with a greeeeaaat action, the kids just loved!
Superfood green smoothie. Thats green (spinach,kale) water, 4 bananas, maca and marine phytoplankton.
We spend a nice day out in the dartmoor then. We visited a pony farm, we are often at. It is in the middle of dartmoor, very nature like! We all had an apple and some avocado with carrot while being there.
We had an exciting day today!! Filled with magical, tropical wonders!
We woke up and - of course- had our famous green smoothie alltogether.
I drank about 2 liters of water with marine phytoplankton during the whole morning. Then we jumped in our car and drove to Plymouth to one of our favourite stores there: The asian shop.
We bought durian, and goji berries and drove back home in the beautiful sun of fall.
At home the kids enjoyed a JUMPOT. This is superfood. Coconut mixed with a zip water, ...
I still felt a little heavy when waking up this morning. I have to really watch out better, when my body tells me to stop eating!
Too much pesto yesterday. It is good that my body becomes more and more sensitive to things like this! It was just one spoon enough. But sometimes this one spoon can make such a difference!
I had just 2 glasses of water, and lateron a glas of green smoothie. Just more water until late afternoon. The kids enjoyed their smoothie, and after that a juicy honey melon. Fo...
Another lovely day in fall. Cold in the morning and a lot of warm sunshine during the day.
We had to wait with our green smoothie, because we ran out of spinach, so the kids had 2 mandarines each, and I had nothing, exept of 2 glasses of fresh water. When Katie returned from shopping she had 2 big medjool dates for everyone, which was appreciated a lot.
Then there was the green smoothie with spinach, banana and water.
The kids had 2 avocados with carrots and 3 mandarines each.
We had to do a fire this morning, because it is getting cold during the night.
Fall has arrived! We had a big green smoothie with the kids for breakfast with spinach (300 gr.), 4 bananas, water, maca, 1 orange and marine phytoplankton.
After that they had an avocado with carrot each. Benny had 2 and Ronja plus Jaro wanted an aplle afterwards Around noon I made a very big green juice, with all sorts of wild edibles picked around our house. These wild plants have so much to give. I feel so great...
Sunlight from dusk till dawn! (But it starts to become cold at night, and we had a fire in our house to heaten up in the morning, until the sun was warm enough.) This always helps us to eat less, and absorb energy through sunlight on the skin.
We started the day with a big bucket of green veggie juice.
It did consist out of 1 bunch of celery, 7 carrots, 2 apples, 1 fully ripe pineapple and a biiig bunch of wild edibles (stinging nettles, dandelion a...
Woke up early with the kids, and created a nice bucket of green smoothie together with them. (300gr. spinach, 4 bananas, water, maca, marine phytoplankton).
One glas of this was my breakfast. I went out with my two sons and played football until noon, and then went for an hour swimming work out after returning them home to Katie and Ronja.
We made some banana, sunflower, coconut paste in the dehydrator yesterday, so everybody did get a small slice of that.
The kids had a nice green smoothie this morning, supported by superfood like maca and marine phytoplankton
Around noon we created a big bucket of green veggie juice for the whole family again. The juice consisted out of 2 bunches of celery, 300 gr.spinach, 300 gr. kale and 300gr. spring greens. Some carrots, 2 apples and 1 orange. We added some mace and 1 teaspoon of raw agave.
I had one raw chocolate in the afternoon. The ckids had a YUM_POT. This is coconut, an apple, carob powder and maca, so... Continue reading ...
Change is to come. It is not only all about Obama, but also right here in our family
After we enjoyed the whole winter through our green smoothie two times a day, it looks like two of our three have enough of it. Maybe it is also because we changed it, and increased the amount of wild edibles in it. Or maybe because the like it more to eat just the simple wild edibles like this. No fancy smoothie, just picked fresh out of nature.
I dont know, and maybe it is not so important, our kids know wha... Continue reading ...
Today even 2 major changes happened within our diet. The kids said to us that they had enough of the carrots and Avocado, and they rather want the Avocado with peppers from nowon. So we went of and bought some peppers today!
and second, even more important, we deceided to improve our green smoothie recipe, because we had the feeling that we should even eat more GREEEN!!
because the wild edibles are growing high these days, we want to get loads of them and juice them; and thgen w... Continue reading ...
Today I found a really interesting information. I am pretty sure that many of you heard that before but anyway: Did you know that stinging nettles have:
30times more Vitamin C 20 times Provitamin A 40(!!!!) times more Calcium 25 times more magnesium and 50 times more iron than an ordinary organic lettuce.
When you compare 100gr ordinary lettuce with 100gr malve you get the result that lettuce has:
Then we took of to have a beautiful family day in nature. We visited a pony farm and picked some wild edibles there together with all the ponys, sheeps and goats, that were also eating the same green than us. That felt great! We shared our food in abundance with all the animals!
Lunch:
Some raw crackers, with long red peppers, avocado and carrots.
The crackers were raw, but still it felt heavy and not so raw in the stom... Continue reading ...
