Eat Seasonal

Cantaloupe is in season from May - Sept, but PEAK IN JULY!!!!!

When you're picking your cantaloupe look at the rind and it should be golden in color, not green. The stem should have a slight indentation. The blossom of the melon should be soft and have a sweet smell.

Cantoaloupe has tons of vitamin A and vitamin C. Vitamin C protects our immune system from free radicals and it helps stimulate white blood cells to fight infection.

new Rockin raw recipe

I just made up a new Rockin raw recipe..
Banana Buckwheat Maca Balls
2 T dried banana(Erewhon's or Whole foods)
1 cup sprouted buckwheat(soaked for 8 hours, sprouted 24 hours in sprouting jar)
(I dehydrated the buckwheat to dry out after soaking for 2 hours)
1 t maca powder
1 heaping T almond butter(whole foods)
2 T cacoa nibs
6 pitted dates
2 T honey

I blended the dates and dried pineapples. Then in bowl I mixed dates, banana, buckwheat, maca, honey, cacoa nibs, and almond butter. I kneaded the mixture really good with my hands and then rolled into balls. Put in freezer for 1 hour and enjoy!!
You could roll in agave powder if desire.
