• Halts growth of cancer tumors.
• Lowers high cholesterol.
• Repairs “sludge blood” and reverses “sticky blood”.
• Boosts blood oxygenation.
• Eases inflammation and soothes arthritis pain.
• Protects the body from oxidative stress.
• Helps prevent kidney stones and protects the body from oxalates in coffee and tea.
• Alkalizes the body, helping to balance overly acidic dietary habits.
• Cures ulcers, IBS, Crohn’s disease and other digestive disorders.
• Reduces high blood pressure by treating the cause, not just the symptoms.
• Nourishes the body with minerals, vitamins, enzymes and glyconutrients.
• Accelerates healing from physical burns and radiation burns (this is one of its most famous “miraculous” uses).
• Replaces dozens of first aid products, makes bandages and antibacterial sprays obsolete.
• Halts colon cancer, heals the intestines and lubricates the digestive tract.
• Ends constipation.
• Stabilizes blood sugar and reduces triglycerides in diabetics.
• Prevents and treats candida infections.
• Protects the kidneys from disease.
• Functions as nature’s own “sports drink” for electrolyte balance, making common sports drinks obsolete. [Yes!]
• Boosts cardiovascular performance and physical endurance.

Scrumptious Raw Vegan Carob, Almond and Coconut Brownies Recipe!
Dairy-free, Oil-free, Gluten-free, healthy and absolutely delicious!
Brownies
1 cup of raw almonds
1/2 cup of dates
1/2 cup of raisins
2 tablespoons of goji berries (optional)
1 tablespoon of shredded coconut
Glaze
1/2 cup of carob powder
1/4 cup of coconut oil
1/4 cup of agave nectar
Place the almonds, dates, raisins, goji berries and shredded coconut in a food processor and pulse until you get a nice fine texture. Place the mixture in a pan (I like to use a Pyrex glass baking dish) and work it with a fork into a dense consistency. Put in the freezer for an hour or two.
Once your brownies have hardened a bit in the freezer, time for the glaze. Mix the carob powder, coconut oil and agave nectar until you achieve a nice creamy consistency. Pour on the brownies evenly and place back in the freezer for another hour.
Enjoy!

Pesto and Avocado Mini Tart Recipe
Pesto and avocado fresh mini tarts
Author: TalesofaKitchen
Prep time: 15 mins
Total time: 15 mins
Serves: 6
Ingredients
⅔ cups almonds
4 TBSP sesame seeds
4 TBSP flax seeds, ground
4 TBSP sunflower seeds, crushed
1 small garlic clove, grated
4 TBSP extra virgin olive oil (I used cold pressed)
2 TBSP freshly squeezed lemon juice
pinch sea salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
-
3 cups tightly packed fresh basil
1 handful almonds
1 small handful sunflower seeds
1 medium garlic clove, grated
sea salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4-5 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
2-3 TBSP lemon juice
1 avocado
extra lemon juice, if needed
Totally scrumptious, healthy, and vegan!
Instructions
Add the first set of ingredients to a blender and process until completely mixed.
Brush your mini tart shapes with a bit of olive oil.
Divide the base mixture in 2 and then each in 3 equal parts. This will give you 6 equal parts. Press each into a tart shape. Place in fridge.
Add all ingredients for the pesto in a food processor and wiz until it gets an oozy consistency.
Mix 6-7 tablespoons of pesto with 1 avocado. Season more if needed (lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper).
Scoop the pesto-avocado mixture into the tart shapes and return to fridge.
Serve cold.
Notes
The pesto recipe will yield more pesto than required for the mini tarts. Which means you can plan some pesto pasta for dinner as well!
