Blissings Everyone!!

I realize wow, I should have posted this yesterday or earlier than that!!!

My Apologies,

Now go run to your nearest asian grocer and then regular grocer to make these amazingly awesome Halloween Treats!!!

Eyeball Fruit Salad

1) Peel and pit as many lychees as you want. Pit carefully so the

fruit is intact and not all shredded. These are the eyeballs.

2) Take half as many green grapes as lychees and slice them in half

across the grapes. These make green eyes.

3) Count out as many nice blueberries as have lychees. These are the

pupils of the eyeballs.

4) Take a fine paring knife and prepare a little cored out area on the

centre of the sliced end each of the grape pieces. These need to be

sized to snugly hold a blueberry in the end. Watch your fingers.

5) Take each blueberry stuffed grape and jam it into the open end of

the lychee.

6) To finish things of nicely, puree enough raspberries, strawberries,

and other reddish fruits for a nice bloody sauce. Pour over the fruits

and serve.

 

Guaranteed to score points with the elementary school crowd on Oct 31!!

Hope you love this Recipe!!

A great Tip for Halloween and the rest of the year!

Treats by Definition are anything ( a event or item ) that is out of the ordinary and gives Great Pleausre. Its what we establish as “special Treats” and/or put ephasis on being special that becomes phycologically coveted and run to in hard times or in Celebration.

We all learn to a great degree through repition, what we make Habit with our repeated thoughts, words, and actions.

This is true with ourselves as well as with our Kids, what we Teach them with our words and actions carries over into their lifestyle habits. When we choose to establish Some simple healthful Fruits and Vegetable dishes that They love to be the best Treats of all, we all win. Fresh Ripe Raw Fruit and “Super Sweet Treats” Recipes (coming soon, ohh Teasers) can satisfy every palate, Providing a real treat one can eat again and again without belly ache!

The best of Treats should Effectivly “Treat” us how we Deserve to be “Treated”.

Creating Healthy Habits starts with the way we think about, talk about and share our experience with others.

Treat yourself and those you love in the best way you can this Season and throughout the rest of the year.

We all Deserve it!

Its amazing but when we truly treat ourselves how we deserve to be treated in thought word and deed our whole vibration rises in accordance with that action of our highest truth, that acknowledgment and knowing that we are worth it, that we are and can exemplify and be love.

Who doesn’t feel “treated” by a Meal of Mango’s, or delicious Persimmon?

What about a Durian or Jackfruit Treat, you can find these and other Exotics at most Asian Grocers!

Banana “Ice cream” Anyone?

Simply Blend or Use Frozen Banana’s with your chosen tool, Thats It!

Better than you could ever imagine, sweeter and creamier than one could guess. The Almighty Vitamix, a Champion Juicer with a blank plate, or a Yonana’s banana ice cream maker can help make this treat a staple.

I made Charlize Banana Icecream for breakfast, lunch dinner and the following breakfast the other day, she was in Banana Ice cream Heaven and thought she was eating treats all day!!!

Wishing you a fun n Sweet Halloween!!

Treat Yourself the Wrong way and you may end up like this!

If anyone knows much about NAFTA Sponsorship Trade Visa’s or NAFTA Trade Visa’s any help or information would be much apreciated. As is, I can only consult via the web with people in the states, Live-ins and in person consults on US soil is not allowed until I get a proper Visa. Bless the Internet and Help from others

After a rip on my skateboard through Downtown NYC I met up With the amazing Lisa Sobolewski of LisaSobolewski.com ( a amazing Raw Chef n blissful being) at Grand Central Station. We frolicked around town finding Durian, Melons and a tight little hostel in China Town. awwwwww SO so so sweet!

I was Later saved from the streets by the most generous Sean and his Mom Annie by lending me his room in Brooklyn. Thanks so much to you both for Taking me in and showing me around town!

Together we put up many posters for the NYC Frickin Fruitluck, Which Turned out to be a huge success, even with a Hurricane scheduled!!

Rushing with my skateboard through packed NYC streets, dodging cars and Cab’s I dart towards Central park to meet up with the ever inspiring, DurianRider of Australia. Harley Johnstone, aka DurianRider is a amazing ultra enduro athlete set on pushing his limits being a true lighthouse on the 80/10/10 lifestyle as well as a no nonsense, tell it as it is you-tuber. Armed with lots of experience on the raw vegan path Harley is continually setting Personal Best’s in running and cycling, all in world class form. Harley is truly a shining example of what we can achive when we align all of the factors of health. Co creator of the largest Raw food Networking site 30 Banana’s a Day (im a proud Member) and his amazing youtube channel at DurianRiders, harley is spreading the truth and telling it like it is like no other.

After having talked on and off on the internet for over 6 years it was such a blessing to get to spend time in the park, cruising the streets and enjoying some melon with Harley. Instant friends, I even showed Harley a thing or two. Sharing the amazingly delicious and satiating Santa Clause Melon I revamped DurianRiders faith in melons being a adequate calorie source. Used to eating bananas and dates to get his calorie fill he didnt think that a Melon could fill him in the same way. Proving Durianrider wrong We enjoyed melons in Central Park till we had to take breaks to Finish our melons! Watch out those santa clause melons are so sweet and satiating, one of my favorites of all time!!!!

Blessings All!!

Wow A packed video, this is one month condensed!!
From gardens to playing with All my nieces and nephews n friends, to Fruitlucks potlucks and the amazing Invisible shoes!

SO so so much to enjoy!!

Hope you love it!!

Whoa were to start!!!

A good friend of the family lives on a farm, you’ve seen it before (its where Alli’s horse Dandy lives!), we planted a awesome garden out there this year and have been reaping the benefits with lots of fresh eats!! Tons of greens, tomatoes, carrots and more such a treat. Jacob Alli and I barefoot, connecting to the earth together learning the joys of gardening! SO so sweet. While “weeding” I notice that we are actually “picking” a variety of Purslane, one of my favorite greens. Sea Purslane is actually the highest in sodium of any terrestrial edible plant, all varieties are quite savory and a great addition to stews, pasta’s, salads and more. I love to eat it right from the ground! We packed up tons of greens for a variety of fun feasts in the week!

My dad got his ears cleaned out by the process of ear Candling, this was his first time trying it out and my 2nd time helping another with the process. Basically you take a special “ear candling tube” stick it in, light it up and it creates a warm suction that sucks the wax out of the inner ear. I haven’t done it myself as Ive found my ears have been really clear since going raw (I only need use a q-tip once or twice a year and even then there is little to no wax). Even though I have not done it myself I have seen and heard amazing results noting lots of gross wax (much different in color and texture than the melted candle itself) come out with a huge difference in hearing and feeling in the ear. My dad is now a believer and wishes to do it twice a year, as per recommended.

Lucky n happy me Gets to jump on the trampoline with Allijah and the rest of the kids during the month. I used to be in trampoline lessons, and remeber doing a routine to “Janies Got a Gun” ahaha. Alli and I show off with some flips and acrobatics. I love to Jump! Trampolines are so fun and the best form of exersise, the best exersises are always at Play or simply playing. Charlize and I play n bounce noting my awesome “Bananenhaus” (Banana House) t-shirt from The best band ever “Die Roten Punkte”. They are by far one of my favorite bands these days ( all of the songs in the video are by them) check them out at DieRotenPunkte.com

To the PBR Auction, a wonderful place to get below wholesale prices on Produce. Receiving all the overflow produce not accepted by the Grocers PBR puts them up at great prices 3 times a week. Searching for Auctions and wholesalers to buy your produce in bulk from brings the best prices and deals around!! Saskatoon cant be the only place with a auction, check out your city, delve deep and find those Gems! I got Organic blackberries and Banana’s on one trip and Organic Strawberries (4 bucks a Case) and Crenshaw melons on another trip!

My 1st Saskatoon Frickin’ Fruitluck of the year turns out to be a success. Many good friends, family and sweet fruits n veggies came out to play, share and sk8board. Garret even elbow dropped a Watermelon!! Lets spread Frickin Fruitlucks around the globe, Start one up yourself in your city, take photos or video and I will include it on my videos!! I will be hosting Fruitlucks every major city I goto every chance I get!! Excited to enjoy with you!

I am so so so Stoked on Invisible Shoes!! I have two pairs myself and have bought 5 pairs for family members that desired them as gifts Very simply minimal running/hiking/jogging/walking/playing shoes that allow you to actually feel the earth. A thin (available in 2 thickness’) Vibram Cherry sole is all thats between you and the earth, this helps you utilizise your natural gait for the best muscular development, posture, foot strength, endurance and jogging form. Ever since running and jogging barefoot as well as with my Invisible shoes I have found huge improvements in my ankle, foot and knee strength. I used to have ankle issues that effected my sk8ing as well as the thought of jogging or running, I am now able to sk8 and run further, faster and with more regularity, than ever in my life. Having the feet breathe is a really nice thing too, as is getting a nice tan on the old feet! I simply Love them, at 20 – 25 $ a pair I cant recommend them highly enough.

Off to Beate Epps amazing Organic Farm for a Saskatoon Monthly Raw Food Potlucks which are headed by the illustrious Deanna Litz of LightLiving.ca. Quite simply a rawsome time filled with great people n delicious raw food. Excited for more!

Back to the auction I pick up two cases of Organic banana’s, Chiquita from Equidor and Bio Banana’s from Peru. Ready to commence a Taste test to find out the best banana!!

Off to Rotary park for a awesome free yoga class in the sun put on by Cory Nuefeld of The Better Good (my favorite Eco concious Shop) and Ryan Leier of One Yoga (My Favorite yoga Studio)! After a fun class with freinds new and old we enjoed a mini fruitluck and determined that the Bio Banana’s were the creamiest and sweetest of the bunch, Just goes to show Biodynamic farming is the best!!

Last But Definitely not least I bought a case of Cherries, part Bing and part Rainier for my mom and Dads 40th wedding anniversary! I shout allot in the video sharing my love for cherries and Johnny Cash!

A taste test on the cherries reveilles the dark red Bing cherries to be the crowd Favorite!!

Hope you really enjoyed the Video apologies for the sloppy writing its the end of summer and im spending as much time outside as I can!!!!

Next time w enter New York Madness and “the Woodstock Fruit Festival”

Wishing you much

Blissings all!!

Todays video is one I am really excited to share as it can help bring ease and confidence to what many feel is a trying and at times embarrassing situation.

If I could count the times in dollars I have had people tell me “It must be so hard to go out to eat on a raw food diet” or “But then what do you do at restaurants” I could buys a extra case of bananas a month at least wow!! ahah

Showing you how simple it can be to go out to restaurants on a raw food diet, as simple as you make it really

P.S: My Raw, Yoga, Surfing Skateboarding Retreat this Coming January 7 – 14th is coming quick and filling up, Reserve your spot and learn more here

Enjoy the Vid!!

While driving back home from B.C with my parents we stop at a Local Produce Stand
A box of Cherries, and the box of Organic Banana I got on the Island set me up for the road home and the first few days in Saskatoon. Traveling with ease with my fresh produce, other times I simply bring dates and celery, or raisins and apples

While passing through Loydminister Saskatchewan we decided to stop at Original Joe’s, a pub style/sports bar restaurant for lunch. I was really desiring a bunch of the ripe banana’s and cantaloupe I had in the car but also wanted to enjoy eating with my parents, so I figured why not make a video of it, showing how easy it is to eat out on a raw diet.

After sitting down I asked to talk to the manager, to see if it was ok to film within her restaurant for the purpose of this blog. I also then asked if it would be possible to eat my fruit as “Im on a raw/special diet, making a video about eating out at Restaurants while raw” even asking to have my banana’s blended into a smoothie for me. She said it wouldn’t be a problem at all, only that I would have to ask the waitress if she wanted to be filmed or not, she didn’t so I obliged.

I would like to note that in the last 7 1/2 years I have only had one waitress tell me I couldn’t eat the fruit I brought into the restaurant, only one! Even so she came back a minute later extremely sorry, apologizing profusely after her manager had reprimanded her telling her to let me know of course I could eat my fruit. Its really important to realize that people in service are there to “serve” you. Their main objective is for you to have a good time and to want to come back. I only go to restaurants with other people or groups who are ordering the food off the menu, most of the time I also order a simple salad. It can be as simple as asking for a big bowl of lettuce, mounds of tomatoes and cucumber, or a custom salad where I hand pick the ingredients from the menu.

My parents ordered their food, which they loved and I was given a knife a spoon and a plate to eat my cantaloup starter, which I loved. My starter was followed by a beer jug full of banana smoothie, a perfect meal! I really enjoyed having exactly what I wanted while my parents did also, there was no fuss no embarrassment and in fact I am more than sure the waitress and mangers eyes were opened, planting the seeds of curiosity into my flow. Love it all with fun, confidence and the knowledge that unless you ask you never know.

I used to be embarrassed when I went out to restaurants, feeling everyone was looking at me figuring I was such a hassle, this really dictated the whole experience unconsciously creating what I feared. I have come to realize its all up to me to create my experience, being confident, knowing that the waitress/waiter wants it to be easy for everyone. In general people like to help where they can, I often use the magic words “Can you please help me…….” Given that opportunity those in service will most often do all they can if your kind confident and explain why. Sometimes simply saying, “I am on a special Diet” or pulling out the big guns and saying “My Dr. Say’s” or even “I am allergic” can get anything accomplished if necessary.

Asking for what you need in any situation is a real gift you can give yourself in every moment. Its not uncommon for people to brush or undervalue thier own needs for fear of inconveniencing, troubling, or embarrassing themselves or others. I really feel it is a most useful practice, being open and honest with yourself and others, asking for what you really want in a clear and kind way without attachment to the outcome. Thats the clincher, attachment. If you can let go of that, no matter the outcome its all good, its only one meal, one moment in time. You never know what you may get unless you ask for what you need.
I tell ya a sure way to disappointment is to set yourself up for it

Of course I could have made it even easier on myself and Original Joe’s, I could have simply asked for a romaine and cucumber / celery salad and simply ate that after eating my banana’s in the car, or even simply ask if I could eat them to start my meal inside of the restaurant. In my experience this is always received well, especially using those magic words before mentioned. Have fun with it, challenge your waitress or chef to make the biggest salad ever, confidence and levity goes a long way. I have had some of the best salads in my life out at restaurants, simple raw and low fat simply asking for exactly what I wanted based off of items in 6 different dishes I saw on the menu. Huge salads I could barely eat that cost less than anyone else’s order!
Let others around you know that being raw socially it isn’t a big deal to you by your attitude in going out, ordering and eating.

In the end its “Just Food”, poke LisaSobolewski.com. Its one moment in time, one meal, let your focus be on what is really important, the time and spaced shared with your friends, your loved ones, your family. Focusing on the other people there with you, asking questions, sharing stories, love, good energy and times in that perfect moment. All of our creation fully and totally, Our experience is dictated by our perception and choice as to what to focus on. Our confidence and ability to verbalize our needs clearly to others goes a long way.

Always Know you Deserve the best every time, ask for what you need to shine, to thrive and let go of the outcome.

Going out can be fun, eat what you want before, ask for what you want inside and enjoy it all!!!

Thanks much Original Joe’s for helping make that particular meal a Sweet one

Wishing u much
