Raw Chocolate Mousse Recipe

Raw Chocolate Mousse Recipe (for 2 people)

Raw cacao

Cashew nuts (optional)

Ripe avocado

Agave syrup

Coconut oil

Melt 3 table spoons of coconut oil on a very LOW heat.  Put into a magi-mix with a whole avocado and a small handful of cashew nuts (if you have a nut allergy you can leave out the cashews but only put 2 table spoons of coconut oil) and blend until no lumps and very smooth. Then put this into a bowl and add 2.5 heaped scoops of cacao powder into the mixture and mix up until blended in.  Then add 1 table spoon of agave syrup.  Taste the mixture and add more agave to sweeten more to taste.

Put into 2 ramekins and put in the fridge for an hour to let set.  Then serve as a delicious superfood hit of anti-oxidants.

Scrummy Humous

It is so easy and quick to make this humous and it will wow the crowds at a dinner party!

1 tin of chick peas
1 lemon
Tahini
olive oil
1 clove of garlic
pinch of fresh coriander

In a magi-mix put the can of chick peas (no water) squeeze the juice of the lemon, 1 table spoon of tahini, 2 table spoons of olive oil, 3 table spoons of water, the garlic and coriander (you don't have to use this - you could also try mint - it is delish!)

And blend... if it is too think just as a small amount more of water.  - only add a little at a time.  If you make it too runny you just need to add more chick peas!

Serve in a bowl and sprinkle a few chick peas on the top for decoration.

ENJOY!

Green Curry

2 carrots chopped

1 fennel chopped

1/2 handful of green beans chopped

1/2 aubergine chopped

1/2 red onion chopped

2 cloves of garlic chopped

1 large handful of fresh corriander chopped

2 tins of coconut milk

1 red chili (about half an inch, add more to taste) chopped 

fresh ginger - table spoon chopped

Thai green curry paste 

olive oil

himalayan salt

craked black pepper

(optional prawns, chicken)

In a wok put some olive oil in the bottom on a high heat and add the red onion, ginger and garlic.  Leave to simmer for 2 mins and then add a splash of water.  (if you were to use chicken add this now and cook for 4 mins before adding the veg) Add the 'hard' veg first - carrots for 5 mins then the fennel and 1/4 of the chopped fresh coriander.  Leave to simmer for 5 mins constantly stirring then add 1 tin of coconut milk and 1 table spoon of the green curry paste and stir.  leave for a further  5 mins then add the green beans, aubergine and broccoli heads.  then add half a tin more of coconut milk but all of the cream and 1/2 table spoon of the curry paste.  leave to simmer and stir. (at this point you would add the prawns) Add another 1/4 of the coriander and the chopped chili and a pinch of himalayan salt and pepper to taste leave for a further 5 mins and then serve with brown rice and add the fresh coriander as a garnish.    

Tips: if its to watery then add more of the coconut cream (not the milk) if you add more of this you will need to add more curry paste.  

Enjoy! 

Ganesh Retreats Quotes from Guests

here are a few reviews from our guests on past retreats to inspire you to come on the next one! 

“I really did love my few days in the peace and harmony of your house party and often find myself willing that I could be there for a few hours respite and focus again.”

“Thanks a lot for organising it, I truly enjoyed it (munching on carrots as we speak and no diet coke so far!). The place was simply gorgeous, I felt really relaxed this morning and it was a lovely pleasure to meet you all and share the time there.”

“Every aspect of it has had a beneficial effect on me and I am relishing being able to use the breathing techniques of yoga to monitor my daily stress level and keep my energy flow more constant. It is quite extraordinary how that combined with the delicious and highly nutritious meals you so graciously prepared for us and the unleashing of the energy channels seem to have given me a ‘new lease of life’. I feel calmer and more focused. The NLP session was extremely helpful too and, once I’ve put into action, all that I vowed to do by the end of a month, I suspect I’ll be visiting Freddie again. I am also recommending him.

You really have a great gift in being able to create such a powerful event within such a short space of time. I know each one of us came away much richer for it. You’d made the house feel so comfortable and welcoming and the flower arrangements, candles and cosy fireplaces just made it. I suppose we were blessed to have that sunlight pouring though the windows too. The food was simply delicious and one could almost see it jumping off the plate with vitality. I’m off to by spirulina and wheat grass this weekend to green smoothies here we come!”

Add some Acai Berry love into your life...

I am in the land of the Acai berry so have been eating it every day and feel so great from it.  I have been so pleasantly surprised to find that people are very health conscious here in Brazil.   Everywhere I seem to go I have found cute little fruit bars that sell things like smoothies with chlorophil (an esential green food) acai berries, green juices its great!  
The Acai berry (pronounced ah-sigh-EE) is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, the acai berry tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and with a slight hint of chocolate.  Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature's perfect energy fruit.   It is a  Number 1 superfood as it has very high antioxidants found in it
.

Acai Facts:

• Boosts your immune system as they contain such a high percentage of antioxidants that protect the cells of your immune system from damage by toxins in the environment.  
  
  
•  Decrease in the incidence of stroke, heart attack, cancer, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.  In January 2006 breakthrough findings were released to the world from the University of Florida. They took extracts of the berry at various concentrations, and tested them on human cancerous cells. The results of these findings were that the acai berry destroyed 86% of leukemia cells in a cell culture model. 

• Increase in the metabolic rate - resulting in increased weight loss.  The acai berry has the desirable effect of helping boost metabolism and promoting healthy digestive function.  It aids weight loss, while also taking care of dietary needs as well. 

• Increase in sexual activity, libido, and performance.  Need I say more!!!

•  Stronger bones, healthier blood, increase in eyesight, less mood variability.  Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. So far 19 different amino acids have been identified in acai berries. This means that acai berries are packed with protein. They are also packed with vitamins and minerals. Vitamin A B1, B2, B3, C and E are in the little berry. It also contains calcium, potassium, copper and zinc.
• Has your essential fatty acids like Omega 3, 6 and 9. It’s also high in fibre, with about 14 grams per 100 grams in freeze-dried powder form.

You can get it in juice concentrate, pulp, dried powder, frozen berries...  see what you can find at your local health food shop and start experimenting with it.  Try it in your green smoothies, cereal, porridge, juices or anyway you feel inspired to add some Acai berry love into your life!
