v1 got eaten by a bug, so here is v2.

I discovered that I am fond of passion fruit recently. So I got myself a box of it and have been enjoying it not in moderation.

Also, I discovered that my favorite summer dessert, gets unbelievably decadent and yummy with the addition of passion fruit. Layers of vanilla bean banana ice cream, young berries and raspberries from my garden, topped up with passion fruit. I like to indulge my friends with it too.

are you aware that royal jelly is not vegan?

Royal jelly is also not vegan and royal jelly is the nutritional food specifically designed for the larvae and the queen bee in the hive. Royal jelly is excreted by glands in the heads of worker bees. All larvae are fed it for the first 3 days of their lives and the queen bee larvae are fed it throughout their development.

As with bee pollen, propolis, and many other bee products, royal jelly can cause severe allergies and anaphylactic shock in sensitive people. A whole hive under strenuous and stressful human intervention can product only about a pound of royal jelly over a 6 month period. Bees have become our slaves as we create artificial environments for them to produce the products we want.

Listen, folks will tell you about the many benefits of royal jelly or bee pollen or propolis and other bee products, but they’re trying to sell you something. There have been no scientifically proven benefits of bee pollen so don’t be duped. There have also not been any scientific proof on the benefits of royal jelly.

How would you obtain these products in the wild? You would have to take a bee hive by force from honey bees or bumble bees and extract the products yourself. You would be stung mercilessly. That doesn’t seem anything like taking an apple from a tree does it?

"are you aware that royal jelly is not vegan?"

Yes, I'm not vegan, I'm 'beegan'


"There have also not been any scientific proof on the benefits of royal jelly."

I know this is not your quote but...

Lots of studies on the health benefits of royal jelly.

Wow!

Hey jtrindl, I see you got yoiur hands on some marine phytoplankton. What are your initial thoughts?

"Wow!"

Breakfast will be even more potent once I start incorporating the sprout/grass juices again after a brief hiatus lol.


"Hey jtrindl, I see you got yoiur hands on some marine phytoplankton. What are your initial thoughts?"

I'll let you know in few days.

Rawgosia:
Thank you so much for your postings about passionfruit. I have a vine and I have been ignoring them. I only put the fruit in water and had a cold tea and tried to chew the fruit that way. I really did not know how to eat it properly. I like your idea of mixing the sweet and sour.
Since you like fruit, I will share some of my fruit meals this week:
-quarts of a combo of sweet lemons (aka persian limes--I bought many pounds), pink grapefruit, blood orange and orange juice...so delicious
-pints of pineapple and nopal cactus apple juice and pineapple coconut juice (juiced with the core)
-fruit salad with berries (raspberry, blueberry, blackberry), papaya, persimmon, banana and fresh thai coconut milk with vanilla bean and lots of chia
-cherimoya, coconut, mango and cactus smoothie
- fresh aloe, orange and berry juice
- dehydrated sapote chocolate (I had too many sapotes to eat, so I made chocolate with them and dried it on sliced bananas)

Other raw food this week were a lot of collard wraps, butternut squash soups, salads, raw vegan cheese and raw veggies, and raw vegan restaurant food. (I am not all raw, but trying to eat more raw.)

P.S. I know many people are skeptical of fruit, but I will say I live in an area with exquisite fruit and they balance out many bitter and sour herbs.

9 bananas, 2 mangos, 3 figs, 2 oranges, 20oz fresh pineapple, 10oz fresh watermelon, 3 cups of cooked millet (admittedly salted - and oversalted, at that), a handful of grape tomatoes, and one bunch steamed asparagus with fresh lemon juice.

I'm giving 80/10/10 a go after my last candida flare-up. My first bite of banana was insanely good. Grocery shopping the other day, I think I was scaring people by how much I was smiling, filling up my cart with fruit. I have literally been dreaming of this for months.

Cutting down on salt is going to be difficult, though.

Raw gosia. I am pretty impressed with your passion fruit photos.

I AM!

Nice to see some people eating fruit! I'm having 8 bananas for breakfast

Yesterday was bananas, kale, avocado, red bell pepper, arugula, pineapple, mango, apples, celery.

Am currently sharing some bananas with my cockatoo, Cecilia. Of course, she threw them and ran back to her cage, but that's what I get for being away from home the last few weeks.

LOL, I know how much cockatoos hate to be left at home. Two weeks - You are in big trouble now. Better find a less ordinary treat for such times - if you value such things as unripped off windowsills, Etc.. Pecans work around here.

May have to share my pineapple with the little booger later, then!

Yeah, they can yank of a windowsill from the wall in seconds!

1 TBS 'Superfood Cider Vinegar' - [www.longevitywarehouse.com]

3 TBS AFA blue-green algae
1 tsp marine phytoplankton
1/4 tsp (heaping) phycocyanin
1/2 tsp extra-virgin coconut oil

2 tsp royal jelly


Mid-day snack:

Strawberry superfood smoothie w/ raw honey, mangosteen, camu camu, noni, lucuma, and phycocyanin with raw chocolate chips - [www.longevitywarehouse.com] - on top. Would've also had pomegranate seeds on top but of course I cut it open and the seeds were mostly clear (unripe).

Looks so good, coconut cream

Still visiting family, so a bit more cooked than I would prefer, but:

-3 bananas, 2 oranges, 1 Fuji apple
-2.29lbs freshly cut pineapple
-1/2lb baby carrots
-2 small crowns steamed broccoli
-3c cooked quinoa tossed with fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes

Still hit everything but selenium, it seems. I know that Brazil nuts are a good source, but due to my health issues it's recommended that I stay off overts completely for a while. Also, I got about 107% RDA of omega-3s, but 53% omega-6s. I know people tend to overdo the omega-6s, so there is alot of emphasis on getting the omega-3s, but is this bad?

<<<Still hit everything but selenium, it seems. I know that Brazil nuts are a good source, but due to my health issues it's recommended that I stay off overts completely for a while.>>>

You only need 1 or 2 Brazil Nuts a day to get your selenium, so that won't affect your overall Fat %.

Those passion fruits are so beautiful. They remind me of some very deep sea jellyfish. I wish they were available fresh here but I can only find them squished into a block in the frozen food section. They must be a different variety as the picture on the package doesn't has a light skin and the block of fruit looks orange. Maybe I'll try it anyway.

My menu these weeks:

- orange juice
- orange grapefruit juice
- choco banana milk (raw carob, fresh bananas, water)
- oranges
- apples
- mushrooms (button mushrooms)
- homemade salt-free pickled cucumbers
- homemade salt-free sauerkraut (and the sauerkraut juice)
- tomatoes, cucumbers, red peppers, yellow peppers

Raw vegan for life. Vegan for the animals. Raw for my health.
