I thought it might be a good idea to close out the week in Friday’s video with a wrap up of everything that has happened on the blog.

This week, many of you assumed that my article about Trader Joe’s meant that you shouldn’t shop there. In this video, I clear that confusion up, talk about Ashley’s Raw Food Challenge, how to manage all the info about toxicity and more.

Take a look…

Your question of the day: What do you think of the weekly wrap up? Want to see one next week? Yes or no?

BLUEBERRY PHENOLICS

Goose berries, blackberries, cranberries, and goji berries all have potent antioxidant benefits. However, blueberries are the leader of the berry pack, as they are the most widely available, the most studied, and they have significantly higher concentrations of total antioxidants than any of their berry counterparts.

Blueberry bushes are found in the temperate climate zone around the world, with species in North America, Europe and Asia. Some cultivars can be grown in gardens as far south as Florida. Blueberries are also now grown in the temperate climates in the Southern Hemisphere, including Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia.

Raw Food Recipe for Berry Popsicles

1 pint blueberries
1 lb strawberries with the tops cut off
Meat from 1 young thai coconut
2 tbsp water from the thai coconut
2 tbsp Raw Honey or your preferred sweetener to taste
Handful of the secret ingredient (greens!! Spinach and Bok Choy is what I used, they disguise well)

Blend well and pour into 3 oz Dixie cups, if batter in thick enough then add the Popsicle stick right away. If not then wait about a half hour and place in then. Freeze over night! Enjoy with your favorite child and there friends as a great after school snack!!

You can always try different combos of fruit Tropical with mango and bananas and or Fruity Tutti with pineapple and grapes.

It was amazing… in fact, we decided to call it “Blazing Berry Crumble” since it will literally set your taste buds on fire. (In a sweet, dessert-y way!)

Take a look and be sure to bring this to a friend’s house so they can be assured that you really know how to make raw food.

Here it is…
