spring clean machine with a hempy dream

Hello hello.  Just made this cheeky wee smoothie as part of my juice/smoothie feast this week.  Don’t forget about the facebook group here which you can join at any time to see what amazing liquidy treats everyone is er, liquidising…  I really fancied something a bit chocolatey after the major spring clean I’ve been doing all morning so I went for this sexy little number…

Chocolate Ra Ra Raspberry Hempy Dream

125g raspberries

1 LARGE tbsp of cacao nibs

1 tsp xylitol (or other sweetener of choice)

1-2 cups hemp milk (make your own or use Hemp Bliss which you can get at Grassroots)

Blend well until everything is thoroughly mixified.  Drink whilst watching Prince videos (NOT optional).

I promise after I’ve finished this juice feast I’m going to post some more solidy type food stuff recipes.  The truth is I do tend to drink my food more than eat it but I’ve found a wee burst of inspiration for more mealy type meals now that I’m out a job and kicking about the kitchen with nothing in particular to do.  So yes, proper food stuff at some point…

On a side note, I’ve just spent the last five hours absolutely GUTTING my home.  Every single cupboard, drawer, nook and cranny has been cleared, cleaned, dusted and organised.  I didn’t do the hoovering cos I hate the smell the hoover gives out.  Which is soil in case you’re wondering (are you?).  Which is because our dog is a total mentalist and insists on killing plants by dragging them round the house when we go out which usually means a hoovering up job to clean up all the soil from the carpet.  So yeah the hoover gives off this horrible smell of soil when you use it.  So…having completely bored you with that little story I mean to say that I’ve done a complete Spring Clean of my house just minus the hoovering which I’ll get the husband to do.

I think that it’s so symbolic to do a massive clear out of your home when you’re also doing a juice/smoothie cleanse.  As within so without. Is that a saying? Yes it is, just googled it.  I can’t tell you how good it feels to have a really good sort out of all your junk and a resulting clean and tidy home (ok I can, it’s great).  Whether you believe in mumbo jumbo or not I reckon that the energy a good clean/clear out frees up around the home and subsequently in your whole external reality is profound!

Have you heard the saying “the Universe abhors a vacuum”  hahahaha and I’m not talking about a vacuum cleaner although to be fair it probably does hate ours…  Well, it basically means that when you create space, whether that’s physically, mentally, emotionally, whatever, the universe (nature) conspires to fill it.  I find that letting go of stuff, of clutter, of mess, actually makes me feel much lighter energetically and frees up any blockages that are going on so that my energy can move again.  It might also motivate you to eat better?  As without so within…think that works both ways.   Yes it does 🙂

I guess I’ll need to see what the universe sends my way…hopefully a new hoover haha!

MAN I LOVE PRINCE
