• How about mixing some tahini with chopped dates and berries for a fruit dip. Or celery sticks with tahini and raisins is always good although not really a sweet treat I guess. Mashing up bananas and using that as a pudding and getting the kids to ad…

• Hello Zoe, I used to grow the wheatgrass for the juice bar I worked at so I can say from experience (planting and juicing upwards of 30 trays a day) that we generally got anywhere from 16-20 ounces per tray. We always harvested when the grass was ab…

• Yeah I am way more sensitive to smells, especially the toxic ones. It’s funny because I used to be a smoker and now even the tiniest whiff of tobacco smoke and I feel like a can’t breath. People’s perfumes and chemical cleaners are also really bad. …

• Slice them in half length ways and dehydrate them. They will be nice and chewy and delicious. The only reason banana chips from the store are crunchy is because they are coated in sugar and fried in oil. Yuck!

• I would say that the best thing you could possibly do for your baby would be to go raw. I hope this doesn’t sound too harsh but the detox you may experience shouldn’t be any more toxic than the cooked food that is making up your breastmilk right now…
