We literally get hundreds of questions a week from readers all around the globe. In fact, this past month we’ve had visits from 171 different countries. What’s awesome about that is eating healthy is a global event, not just something that happens in your home town with your, likely, small number of healthy friends.

Some of the most popular questions that we get are ones that ask us about what we eat, our favorite herbs and our favorite supplements. A few weeks ago, I mentioned some of our favorite raw foods, but this week I’m going to address our favorite herbs (today) and then our favorite supplements later in the week.

Keep in mind, this list is ever changing, so please base your own health decisions on what you need, not what we’re doing.

Let’s take a look…

Here’s the raw food recipe for Cooling Cantaloupe Ginger Soup:

I have been craving and loving cantaloupe lately. It has been so so sweet!! So I looked on www.GoneRaw.com, have not been to that site in a while… and found a wonderful cantaloupe soup that I have modified!

Ingredients:

1 half a cantaloupe
1 medium sized carrot
1/2 bunch of fresh mint leaves (to taste)
handful of soaked almonds and cashews
And a dash of freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon of lemon juice

Blend and enjoy. (Boy I did I miss the VitaMix in Peru!)

In this show, Annmarie makes an awesome raw food recipe that can be modified to your taste and prep style.

Collards are high in phytonutrients as well as vitamin K, vitamin A and vitamin C. Tahini is sesame paste that is high in iron and calcium.

BTW: Here’s the Recipe…

Raw Tahini Sauce

4 Tbsp Water
3 Tbsp Nama Shoyu
3-4 Tsp Raw Tahini (More if you want it thicker!)
2 Tsp Raw Olive Oil (Or Sesame Oil)
1 Tbsp Agave
2 Tbsp Ginger
1 Clove Garlic
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Pinch Cumin
1 Pinch Sea Salt

Instructions: Blend!

Raw Collard Vegetable Wraps

6 Collard Leaves
1 Small Carrot
1 Small Zucchini
1/2 Small Red Onion
1/2 Small Red Cabbage
1 Handful Chopped Cilantro
1 Handful Chopped Basil

Other suggestions: Red Pepper, Spinach, Mango, Cucumber.

Instructions: Cut the stem out of the collards and blanch for 5 seconds in almost boiling water than run under cold water to cool down (this is debatable whether it’s raw or not, so you don’t have to do this if you don’t want!). Julienne the veggies and wrap them in the collards, adding some sauce for flavor and to seal the wrap. Makes 12 wraps!

Live Awesome!
