Nourish YourSelf - A Smoothy for 2016.

Its been a while,  yeah i know... but another wave of writing is on the horizon,  i can feel it... things have been brewing here at Niwas, and some very deep and transformative things have been moving on my inside also.  Its delicious, thats my word for 2016,  create a life that is delicious.

Food,  thats something that has been on my mind allot recently,  my digestive system, is changing, following a crazy dream with Sw Niranjan while i was in Rikhia,  alas,  i digress,  but our relationship to food says so much about where we are at as people,  as a species.  there is no better test monkey, than yourself.  Thats what life is after all,  for me at least,  its an experiment in embodying my highest potential as a human,  to embody Love.    Sounds airy fairy,  but the reality is down and dirty most days.  Atmabhav - to see all as one.  yeah,  thats right,  to great each person, each being with humility, love, respect, regardless of their actions, regardless of who they are, yeah, that includes the Hitlers of the world...

But,  you are what you eat...   and right now,  im all about the Tumeric or/and Coconut.  So here is a smoothy recipe that is rocking the Howe reality of late... if you try it let me know what you think.

1 Can Coconut milk lite
1 Banana
1 Can of Pinapple pieces (incl juice)  (fresh if in season)
4 Medjool Dates. (take out the pips)
1 teaspoon of Tumeric
2 pinches of black pepper (this helps the body to absorb the benefits of the Tumeric)

optional - a little mint if you have it... but no biggy if you dont.


Not only does it taste like summer,  (never a bad thing), but its really nourishing as well.  In the west its really important to up our Tumeric intake... and this smoothy is a great way to do that.

Next time,  i might even let you in on my personal take on Golden (Tumeric milk) taht i like to have at night if i can...

heres to a year of quiet contemplation, and exuberating Love.
