My Secret Sauce has been perfected!

Today I made raw tuna lettuce cups and this was by far the TASTIEST batch I have made. The ingredients I used in the tuna recipe were the same however, I slightly altered the ingredients in the avocado cream and it turned out to be a perfect combination.This sauce is so good I could sip it with a straw!

This recipe is too good to not share with you so I will rename this recipe my "not-so secret sauce." I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!

Not-So Secret Sauce

1/2 cup raw cashews

1 ripe avocado

juice of 1/2 organic lemon

3 TBSP agave

dash of salt and white pepper

1. Blend together and serve on EVERYTHING!!!

Kiwis and Cream

This morning for breakfast I made a delicious, nutritious, combination of yogurt, fruits, and seeds. This particular combination is one of my favorites and I had to share it with you!

Kiwis and Cream

1/2 cup organic yogurt (I like non-dairy pro-biotic yogurt)

1/4 cup seeds mixture

1 kiwi, diced

1 pear, diced

1 TBSP ground flax seed

1. Combine in a bowl and enjoy!

Honeydew Melon- The Benefits

Melons digest much faster than other foods so it is suggested by many health professionals to eat this fruit on an empty stomach (so your body can soak up all the nutrients) and then wait 30 minutes to eat the rest of your meal. I have discovered many contradicting opinions on this topic so use your best judgement on when and how you choose to eat your melon. In my experience, waking up and having melon on an empty stomach feels really good and I think my body enjoys digesting the food on its own.

Honeydew Melons are high in Vitamin B and C, are low in calories, and high in copper. Melons are great for those with high blood pressure as this fruit is loaded with potassium and water. Melons are also good for your skin and will give a nice glow to your skin- remember we are what we eat!

Fish Me, Mykonos

My mom and I went downtown for a coffee today and this new spa really caught my eye. It is a "special" spa and offers a single service, one different than those you find at a traditional spa.

You put your feet in a personal tank of water that is inhabited by friendly fish that eat away your dead skin. It is marketed as a combination of a massage and a health restoration activity. There was one woman sitting inside and from what I could see, she looked rather pleased. I have been swimming along side the fish everyday and when they nibble on me it freaks me out a bit. For that reason, I am not super crazy to try this place out. But.. if you are in Mykonos and looking for something fun to do maybe this is something you would like to experience. I included the link below.
