Not another Natto post...

Yup I'm afraid so ;) but this time I made it!! Yeaaaay! Found some natto at the Japanese Food and Kitchen shop here in Stockholm so of course I couldn't wait to make what I had eaten in Amsterdam! And here is my version:

I basically just mixed together some chopped spring onion, cucumber, tomatoes and avocado. Drizzled on a sauce made of ACV, mustard and tamari then put it all on a bed of baby spinach and brown rice! Was so delicious! 

Ideally, I would like to make my own natto purely because the ones I bought do not say non-gmo and also they came in styrofoam packaging which I definitely am not a fan of. I know that in London they sell the same kind of thing so I guess I better get cooking or should I say fermenting!! hehe

Juicer info :)

I am very blessed to own a Green Star Elite juicer! It is an amaaaazing juicer and I just love it! It may be on the pricey end of the scale compared to other juicers out there but really it works out to be the best investment in the long run. I got mine from UKJUICERS. If you are going to be doing regular juice fasts or adding more juices to your diet I highly recommend this juicer. You will end up saving so much money on produce!
Liana Shanti has posted some great info on the different types of juicers on her FACEBOOK page take a read HERE and decide for yourself :)

Here are some videos to watch too :)

Summer tiiiiime!!

It has been very warm in London for over a week now with temperatures around 24-30 degrees Celsius which is really warm for a city like London, well I think it is :)  So, to cool down, I have been making lots of fresh juice ice lollies with my newly acquired rocket moulds! They are so quick and easy to make and are a great treat! I've made some with watermelon-lime-mint juice, orange juice and raspberries, grapefruit juice and blueberries, apple and ginger and one where I used leftover smoothie and sliced strawberries! Soooo gooood and the possibilities are endless! :)

Yumminess!!

Awesomely yummy and super quick snack! I don't often measure things so I'm not sure exactly how much of everything I put in:

Frozen bananas, spinach, vanilla hemp protein powder and a date (which for my tastes buds made it too sweet but Fredrik loved it!) Then I just topped with some yummy fruits and a chocolate sauce I made out raw cacao powder and maple syrup :) Ah I love all the colors! :D

Natto love!!

My lovely boyfriend and I just got back from spending the weekend in beautiful Amsterdam visiting a close friend. I love Amsterdam and am so grateful we got the chance to visit. This was Fredriks first time there and we will definitely be going back again in the future. Naturally, before we left for Amsterdam, I googled where to find vegan restaurants and where we could buy organic fruits and veggies to prepare meals at home. I found a few places and on Saturday we went to one of the restaurants I found online called TerraZen. TerraZen is a lovely family run restaurant serving Japanese-Carribean food really close to Amsterdam Centraal.  I was super excited to see that on their menu they had something I had been wanting to try for some time...NATTO and oh my was it yummy!! I could have easily eaten seconds :) Natto is super good for you! The lovely RawganicVegan has posted heaps about the awesome health benefits of Natto and I must admit I will definitely be adding it to my diet from now on. You can read up on the amazingness of Natto HERE :)
