Giveaway: Tropical Traditions (CLOSED)

How many of you are familiar with Tropical Traditions Coconut Cream Concentrate? I think of it as coconut butter, which is a tasty, melt-in-your-mouth treat. The Coconut Cream Concentrate (CCC) is made with whole coconut meat in concentrated form. There’s nothing else added to this, just 100% certified organic coconut.

This tasty gem is ideal for just about everything. Instead of regular butter, spread CCC on your pancakes or toast; or use it as a non-dairy creamer for your tea or coffee. Hot cocoa would probably be delicious too. Mix it in batters, soups, whatever…And of course, this would be perfect in desserts of all kinds. Ice cream anyone? But like the label on the jar says: this is a food, not a cooking oil. It will burn in high heat.

I can't wait to make some desserts but for now I put mine in my smoothies. When I make them, I usually put some coconut oil in it but with the CCC I much prefer that! And I’m very generous with that scoop, too. Really adds a nice creaminess to my smoothie, which is perfect since my smoothies are dairy-free.

If you’re looking for recipes and other inspiration, check out Tropical Tradition’s free coconut recipes blog or scroll to about mid-way down the CCC page to find recipes using CCC.

Most likely when you first receive your jar of CCC it may be hard and will have separated with the oil settling on top, kind of like peanut butter. An easy fix is immersing the jar in hot water long enough to soften the cream so you’re able to mix it (they have a how-to video).

WEGO Health: Superpower!

Image
We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow
