Creating a Chocolate-y Drink WITHOUT Using Chocolate

If you do not want the potential stimulation or at times jolting effect of cacao, I can relate and understand. If you want the indulgent flavor without any perceived detrimental effects, then you can have exactly that.

In a whiff of inspiration to consume more Maca to feel super grounded and resilient to stress and a busy life + a desire to bump up the antioxidants without consuming the relatively limited choices of higher sugar fresh fruits (which have been less than ideal quality this year in Marin County due to the weather), I created this Elixir. I suggest there are limited choices because each year the fresh fruits are always the same and I’m getting somewhat bored with them. Fruits of the Earth has the common + exotic ones, and that’s what I want right now.

I usually just measure the 2 T of Vitamineral Green to make sure I get it in there and then do 1 regular spoonful of MacaForce and 1 spoonful of Fruits of the Earth, yet for this recipe I went with exact measurements to bring you a guaranteed strong chocolate flavored drink. To get more chocolate flavor, add more Dark Mint MacaForce and Fruits of the Earth.

I never would have thought to use Fruits of the Earth to make a drink have more of a chocolate flavor, yet every single time I demo it for HealthForce, customers tell me it tastes like chocolate (and there’s nothing in there that even resembles chocolate!). Creativity in the kitchen and a need to back off my cacao addiction, brought this sweet treat to you.

If you get any PMS symptoms, this is your remedy. This was a successful experiment and it’s too good to keep to myself. Before and during your moon cycle, have 1-3 of these Dark Green Chocolate-y Mint Elixirs per day. Your man will notice ;)

Dark Green Chocolate-y Mint Elixir

3-4 cups spring water
2 T Vitamineral Green (HealthForce)
1 T Dark Mint MacaForce (HealthForce)
1 T Fruits of the Earth (HealthForce)
1 tsp vanilla bean powder
sprinkling of organic white stevia extract powder (NOW brand)
3-4 ice cubes, made with spring water

Blend on high. Let elixir settle for 1-3 mins. Drink chilled and relish your good mood and nostalgic chocolate flavor.

P.S. This Dark Green Chocolate-y Mint Elixir will not be in my upcoming eBook, Superfood Beauty Elixirs. The launch of this labor of love eBook will be before the end of this month! (yippee!!)

Chocolate Caramel Fudge for Immunity

This recipe needs no introduction. Just make it even if you don’t have all the ingredients (don’t let ANYTHING stop you from starting something new!), and then… devour them. Even if you have just half the ingredients, as long as you have the first FIVE, that’s fine! You can make this any way you want; double up on ingredients you DO have so you reach the total quantity of teaspoons of powders in the recipe.

Chocolate Caramel Fudge

1/3 cup raw cashew butter
1/4 cup softened coconut oil
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon local, raw, organic honey
1 T raw cacao butter
2 T raw cacao powder
1 tsp each: Chaga, Reishi, Lion’s Mane mushroom powders
1 tsp Vitamineral Green
1 tsp blue green algae (Elixir of the Lake)
1 tsp shilajit powder
1 tsp dark mint MacaForce
1 tsp mucuna powder
1 tsp vitamin E tocotrienols
1 tsp mesquite powder
1 tsp lucuma powder
3/4 tsp vanilla bean powder
1 small handful goji berries

If you don’t eat honey or want to use it, use 1/4 cup clear agave. Do whatever works for you.

Put all ingredients except your sweetener (honey, agave) in a food processor. Process. There may be a bit of oil that separates IF you include the sweetener in this first mixin’ – and if so, it’s okay – no big deal. If you do want to avoid this, just mix all ingredients together and STIR IN the sweetener slowly (in a separate bowl) after everything else has mixed well together in the processor.

Scoop little non-uniform chunks into silicon ice cube trays and freeze until frozen. Eat chilled – you may want to soften for just a couple minutes before eating for the PERFECT texture, ever!

Don’t put them back in the freezer; take out a few so you don’t do the crazy ‘get the fudge out of the freezer!’ dance (taking them out, popping out 1 piece, putting the tray back in in the freezer, craving more, taking them back out and eating another, putting it back in thinking you’re not going to eat anymore… then taking them back out… =)

You can get Vitamineral Green, Elixir of the Lake and MacaForce from HealthForce Nutritionals.

My Superfood Beauty Elixir Juice Cleanse (Days 3-6)!

What's Left After A Day Of Professional Pic Shooting For My Upcoming Superfood Beauty Elixir eBook

My super nutrition infused liquid cleanse lasted 6 full days and each was outstanding. I felt amazing physically, but what I mostly felt was an extreme heightened sense of clarity, deep reflection and quiet internal revelations. If there is any reason to cleanse, this has got to be it. Read more

My Superfood Beauty Elixir Juice Cleanse (Days 1 & 2)!

I’ve been ready to do some sort of a cleanse for several months now and have postponed it mostly intentionally. I did this because I wanted the weather to be gloriously warm when I made the shift to 100% liquid nutrition (although it really can be done anytime). I also wanted to be able to commit to eating less of my man’s raw Superfood kitchen creations and gourmet dinners, which are really hard to turn away. The meals he prepares are so mouth-watering and scrumptious, but I can survive on his Superfood smoothies and wild grass veggie drinks for now :) Read more

Addictive Spirulina Guacamole

This summer, I am absolutely addicted to making guacamole! (As if this is any different from other times of the year)

My new favorite version of this ultra healthy dip is…

The ADDICTIVE SPIRULINA GUACAMOLE

4 medium avocados
1/2 fresh squeezed lemon
1/2 fresh squeezed lime
2 cloves minced fresh garlic
1/2 – 1 chopped heirloom tomato
1/4 tsp cayenne (or to your ‘hot factor’ liking)
few pinches Celtic salt

Put everything in a bamboo or ceramic bowl and mash it all together. Then LIGHTLY stir in:

1 tsp Spirulina Manna and/or Spirulina Azteca (by HealthForce Nutritionals)

You can add more Spirulina to make the guacamole more dense and filling. Adding Spirulina gives a (blue green) cheesy quality to your vegan Mexican food.

Do your best to not eat it all before you serve it on the dining table =)

If you make guacamole like this often, you’ll find your metabolism is fired up, your skin glows, your hair shines, your nervous system is calm, and your belly is deeply satisfied.

I like using Spirulina Manna and Spirulina Azteca for countless reasons and you can hear about them all on the FREE Immunity and Longevity Superfood Nutrition Education tele-seminar Wed June 16 at 7pm PST.

Amazing Testimonial by Gary Tallison!

On March 3 I started my first Health force cleanse! I’ve been a partial raw food fan for some time and have wanted to make the complete shift to mostly Raw foods. I’m 5’8″ and I weighed 175 lbs then. After using all of the Health Force Healing Cleanse Products recommended for the Level 3 intensive, Blue Manna, Crystal Manna, MSM and Camu Camu were added for a morning drink. I did four start and stops on the cleanse over 60 days for a total of 29 days of the cleansing practice. I did daily enemas which I believe helped my body very much to remove accumulated toxins. I lost a total of 27 lbs and have leveled out today at 150 lbs.

You can get the Blue Manna and Crystal Manna through Ancient Sun Nutrition!

Inspiring Testimonial by Michele Bergeron!

Transformation has been a slow process for me. I first started with food elimination and exercise. I think a lot of us start out with the basics when trying to lose weight or strive for optimal health. What I gradually realized was that the basics were not enough. I am a vitamin buyer for Whole Foods so I was fortunate enough to be introduced to HealthForce by our wonderful rep, Bethanne. The first product I began using was MacaForce. The benefits were immediate – more energy, enhanced libido, and happy hormones! From there I began taking Spirulina Manna, Earth, Vitamineral Green, Truly Vitamin C, and Fruits of the Earth. Every morning I make my smoothie with a teaspoon of each of these wonderful powders. To say that they are changing my life is an understatement! Not only do I have increased energy, but changes are occurring with my physical appearance, metabolism, and mental outlook. What HealthForce products do is nourish our bodies at a deep cellular level. So many people in this country are so malnourished they have no idea what satiation even feels like! Every one of us is meant to experience longevity, spiritual balance, and a wonderful mental outlook. Taking the first step is always the hardest but if you add any HealthForce product to your daily health regimen your life will never ever be the same.

THANK YOU TALLISON AND MICHELE FOR SHARING YOUR STORIES WITH US! =)
