• Hello, I like to make a smoothie using about a handful of strawberries, 2 bananas, 2 handfuls of spinach, pinch sea salt, 1-2 tsp cacao. I don’t find it too sweet but everyone has a different taste. I might add in some blueberries too.

• Parsnips are kind of rice like when grated and you could add a nice dressing. I also like to soak barley overnight. The couscous ideas are good using cauliflower.

• Hi, I have an infrared sauna and I love it. We converted a cupboard into one and it is so great in cold damp weather which we get quite a lot of here in the UK.

• You need to check they are not past their sell by date or they will not sprout properly and smell instead. Also, rinsing twice a day in hot weather.

• sprouting and soaking activates the enzymes making nuts and seeds more digestable and ‘live’. They are like seeds that are dormant, yet raw, but when soaked become activated. Hope this helps. You are still eating raw seeds and nuts when you don’t so…

• You could use zucchini as the main ingredient and add about a tablespoon of soaked sunflower seeds or pine nuts. Also, avocado or olive oil will make it creamier.

• I would make a delicious green smoothie with super foods like maca, cacao and goji berries in it. Adding a little coconut butter makes it more filling or ground pumpkin seeds. This would be a good start to the day and is highly nutritious.
