FOOD Tastings

November 5, 2016 No comments Article

It’s my second FOOD Tastings events with Moulinex Philippines!  When I joined my first, I was happy to present raw vegan dishes with other chefs.  But I admit to be a bit disappointed.  All the other chefs presented dishes based on flavor and food plating.  Not a single one mentioned the health benefits of each dish or each ingredient.

Think before you juice

I’m on day 1 of my 5-day green juice fast and liver flush. What makes it easy is my Moulinex infiny press revolution slow juicer. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and it gives me the smoothest juice perfect for my fast.

While everyone, or at least all the health enthusiasts I know, are getting excited about juicing (read the health benefits of juicing here), there are some things you need to consider before you juice.

Here are some:

Just when I thought the rain won’t stop and that I might have to cancel all three classes today: Pilates, yoga, and raw – no the sun didn’t come out at its brightest, but four students showed in the raw food class.

Moulinex Masterchef 2000: the next best thing in your kitchen

So you’ve decided to eat healthier and eat more raw, bought all the right ingredients, and made those lovely salads and eat those fresh fruits.  But somehow you’re craving for something more.  Something that resembles a cooked dish.  What do you do?  It’s time to shop for the right equipment.

First things first.  When I made that decision to really take charge of what’s on my plate, I knew I had to slowly shop for the right equipment for my kitchen.  First thing on my list was a blender.  You need it to make smoothies, salad dressings, soups, and everything that needs thorough blending.  But somehow I needed more.

The search for the right food processor began.  The difference between the two?  With  a blender, the juice comes out of the food.  Food processor just cuts the food into small pieces without extracting the juice.

FIT + FAB Journey

March 4, 2016 No comments Article

It’s the time of the year once again when we start planning our summer get-away.  Most often than not, the popular choice is the beach.  Admit it or not, we all want to be FIT + FAB for such occasion.  While our definition of fit and fabulous may vary, one thing I’m sure we would all agree on is that FIT + FAB you means a healthy you.

This March, Moulinex Philippines will do a full-blown promotion of it’s Moulinex Infiny Press Revolution Slow Juicer and I’m happy to share that I will be part of this!  Buy the slow juicer or any of the Moulinex juice extractors and get a FIT + FAB Guide.  I wrote this Guide with the goal of sharing to others what it entails to have a fit and fabulous life.  The Guide shares 12 exclusive raw vegan recipes, with articles on yoga, pilates, raw food, as well as a FIT + FAB goal chart and a food diary.  It also comes with a bonus article on Why vegan written by a good friend, Nick, who meticulously edited the book.  The Guide is part of the FIT + FAB Kit which also includes an eco bag, dry fit sports singlet, and a Dowell bath scale.

It comes in very timely especially after two experts on the raw food movement recently wrote about the benefits of green juicing over green smoothies.  (Read more here: http://www.oureldersspeak.com/blog/2016/2/7/green-juice-or-green-smoothie)

It also comes in very timely in my life.  Every year, we make New Year’s Resolution and at the end of each year, we check-in where we are with our resolutions.  Early this year, I declared that by March, I want to be doing something which I see myself doing for the rest of my life – sort of a retirement job.
