Cracked open a couple of fresh coconuts when i got home this morning. They were full of sweet juice and soft jelly meat, yummmmmm!

Some smoothie supplies and scraps...



11:56am
Smoothie time: papaya from my yard, a sweet mango, luscious tangy lilikoi, a juicy tangelo, fresh young coconut jelly, a banana, maca root and camu. A teaspoon of raw organic camu powder has huge vitamin C... 1180% of the RDA!




2:28pm
Hot organic penne pasta. Fresh raw cherry tomatoes, chopped garlic, and lots of basil. Extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, sea salt and black pepper. Simple, fresh, delicious.

Snuck a snack... ;) A little piece of raw chocolate acai truffle bar. Good for body and soul!



5:49pm
Kelp and spirulina. Good green sea stuff.



6:17pm
Avocado with olive oil, hot sauce, herbamare salt and fresh basil. I smash it onto multigrain toast, soooo delicious!

7am
Took a lovely quiet walk around the land this morning and received some gifts from mother nature... loads of surinam cherries are red ripe and falling off the tree! They're juicy, delicious and loaded with healthy vitamin C.



7:35am
My lazy Sunday morning cup of french pressed locally grown coffee before practice. I enjoy it with some vanilla soymilk and coconut palm sugar.




12:46pm
A cute little organic plum. No, I don't think plums grow here on Kauai, but my partner brought home a few the other day. I can't recall the last time I had a plum (don't really like them) so I figure I'll have one for the sake of whatever vitamins they have... Crunch, slurp, pucker... Yep, I still don't really like them. Lucky for me, I live on a lush tropical island with an abundance of fresh, juicy fruits I love!!!




12:49pm
Super sweet and juicy jamaican lilikoi, my new favorite fruit! Awwwwww yeah :-)))))



12:54pm
Papayyyyaaaaaaaaaaa... (I can hear the Indian fruitwallas singing their offerings in my head) ...Pineapple, pineapple, papayyyyaaaaaaaaa! Awwww, papayas always make me miss Mysore.

Maca is an adaptogen; it helps the body adapt to stress and changes more easily and nourishes the endocrine system too.




1:23pm
Tropical smoothie heaven: fresh local organic papaya, pineapple, lilikoi (passion fruit), lime, surinam cherries, coconut meat, frozen banana and some raw organic maca powder, the only non-local ingredient. So beautiful!



1:40pm
Another gorgeous bowlful of compost... Is everyone so in love with their food scraps?!?



4:04pm
A little cold leftover pasta from last night with nutritional yeast.
