Pumpkin Apple Chia Coconut Yogurt

    Vegan, Gluten Free

    Happily Serves 6-8

    ALL ORGANIC INGREDIENTS 

    20 oz Vanilla Coconut yogurt

    1 Cup Pumpkin Purée

    1/2 Cup Apricot Apple sauce

    1 tsp Cinnamon 

    3 TBSP Chia Seed

    Mix and let sit overnight for the seeds to “Gel”.

    Serve as a dip or as your first meal or snack in the morning.

    Optional:

    Sprinkle with Edible flowers or 1 TBSP Sunflower seeds.

    Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

      Gluten Free, Vegan

      Happily serves 18-36 

      ALL ORGANIC INGREDIENTS 

      Peanut butter Layer:

      16 oz jar Crunchy Peanut Butter

      1 Chia Egg

      1/4 Cup Coconut Brown Sugar

      1/2 Cup Monk Fruit

      Chocolate NutButter Layer:

      16 oz jar Chocolate NutButter

      1 Chia Egg

      1/4 Cup Coconut Brown Sugar

      1/2 Cup Monk Fruit

      To make an egg replacer:

      1 TBSP Ground chia seed or flax seed to 3 TBSP water, mix and let sit a few minutes.  If it sits too long, it will be hard to mix into the batter.  

      Mix the nut butter and sugar together then make the egg replacer and add it in.

      This is essentially 2 batches of cookies.  

      You can do one or the other or combine them for a “Reece’s” Cup affect.

      Make each batch separately.  You can roll into balls and bake for 8 mins on 350. 

      I do not cook mine since there is not an egg in the recipe, you can eat these raw.

      You can use individual cups as pictured or make in a mini muffin tin for portion control

              Retreat? YES PLEASE!

                What do you think of when you hear the word Retreat?  Expensive vacation? Yoga? Private beach? I could never do that?  What’s the catch?

                Well…let me explain what it means to me.  My lifelong friend and business partner share the same philosophy on how a balanced retreat should be planned and carried out.  Life is about balance, it’s give and take, it’s movement and stillness, it’s health and wellness, it’s love and above all…should be FUN!  

                We have been collecting data and experience that we believe is valuable to our customers.  We want to deliver the very best vacation (retreat) so it leaves you refreshed and renewed, not needing a recovery day from being out of town.  We believe in giving our clients the tools they need to be able to go home equipped to handle whatever life throws at you!  We believe you should start each day with meditation and movement and PURPOSE!  We have designed our retreat to be experienced in the elements, where you can fully embrace the power of nature and what it can do for you!  We believe you need to get away sometimes to fully be present, or maybe to learn what being present means. Breathing in the air with intention, listening to your body when it whispers so you don’t have it eventually screaming at you.  

                We would love for you to join us in Maui for a health and wellness retreat.  We balance yoga, meditation, good local organic food, hiking, waterfalls and laying on the beach soaking up the sun and moon energy, and just taking to the time to create moments and memories you’ll never forget!  Sights, sounds, smells, and your feet in the sand and salt water…doesn’t get much better!

                Let us take care of you for the the week of October 12-18, 2019.  Be our Guest!

                Visit the website for reservations.  Feel free to reach out to Stanis or I if you have any questions.

                  Summer “Cooking” Class

                    My massage therapist, Megan Almodova (Calm Blossom Massage) and I are teaming up to bring our clients together to stay actively engaged during the summer months. We know it gets “crazy”…but does that ever stop unless you learn management skills to learn balance in your life? Come and sit, visit, eat and learn how to turn an avocado into several delicious snacks and meal ideas.

                    Meal prep is NOT hard, it needs to be a priority on our ToDo list for the day or week. It requires time, learn how to manage time, therefore managing your budget and stress levels. It’s all connected! Take the first step…you know you’ll feel better.

                    Bring a Friend, the more the Merrier! Just make sure you RSVP so I can have enough food for everyone!

                    Meal time is always better when made and served with LOVE ❤️
