Rainy days & Tuesdays & a glass or two of warm juice

August 16, 2016 No comments Article

It’s been raining for more than a week now here in Manila and according to news, we will continue to have more rains in the next days.

While juicing is healthy and fun during hotter weather, it isn’t so in this cold, bed weather.  Before I share personal tips on juicing in this weather, allow me to share why juicing is the juiciest decision you will ever make.  Full text on juicing is available in the FIT + FAB Guide by Raw Yogini Sonia published by Moulinex Philippines.

You’ve probably heard it in the locker rooms where health or yoga enthusiasts gather. “Yes, I had green juice before I left home” or “What’s in your juice?” or “I used kale, celery, spinach, cucumber, lemon, and a bit of apple in mine, oh and ginger too, that gave it a kick!” or “Oh I tried my new masticating juicer and it works so well, I’m getting rid of my centrifugal!”

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.

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.

Strong Moms: Raw Food Preparation #43

May 7, 2016 No comments Article

Happy Mother’s Day to all mommies out there!  A few years ago, I never schedule anyting on Mother’s Day.  My mom passed away in 2009 and since then, Mother’s Day has never been a happy day for me.  But I know deep in my heart that at some point, I need to start accepting projects/events on Mom’s Day and start celebrating the beauty of moms – mine or others – once again.

Then came the invitation from Vitamix Philippines to join them at the Strong Moms event.

I’m glad I said yes!  I will always love being surrounded by moms and I wish someday to be a mom too.
