Raw can be so simple:
Last night I went over for dinner to the home of my dear friends, Irina and Nick. Due to my schedule, I did not have time, as I usually do, to prepare a dish in advance. So, I stopped at the market and picked up two ripe cantelopes, which have been so delicious lately. At my friends' house, I blended up 1 1/2 cantelopes with 1/2 small container of coconut water in their Vitamix, poured it into bowls, and we garnished it with fresh mint. It was beyond fabulous, and the color was lush and beautiful (picture to come soon). It could have been served in any restaurant; we all loved it.
So, keep it simple in Summer.
Just to let you know, I will not be blogging for this next week due to my counseling time commitments. I will be back blogging a week from today.
So, keep honoring your soul with all of your choices, and have a great week!
Love,
Hope
