whoa you like to think that you’re immune to the stuff, oh yeah!

By Emma May 20 0

I couldn’t be more addicted to dulse if I had spent the last twenty seven years at Dulse University doing a PhD in dulse addiction whilst simultaneously shooting up dulse inbetween lectures given by lecturers made of actual dulse.

I’m seriously concerned about my massive dulse obsession.  I’m having just under a bag a day.  But, at the same time, it’s very, very good because I have total and utter faith in my body that for some reason it NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDS dulse.  There is clearly something in it (innit?) that my body requires for some reason and I have absolute trust that once it’s had it’s wicked dulse way my body will go back to a level of sensible dulse necessity.  Hmm, it’s high in B6, B12 (? didn’t know that – maybe an analogue), iron, potassium, vit C, E and A, magnesium, calcium, iodine and protein.  There are worse things to be addicted to I guess…

I think trusting our body’s intuition is key on a raw food diet.  I would have a bit of a word with myself though if that obsession was deep-fried mars bars.  Although I think the theory is the same, there’d be something that I was getting from the deep-fried mars bar either physically (errr!) or mentally or emotionally that was fulfilling a need and I’d bow down to that higher knowledge while simultaneously getting to the bottom of what that need was and how it could be filled another way IMMEDIATELY 🙂

So right now I’m happy with my dulsey ways.

Today Matthew I had a bloody gorgeous Green Smoothie – pineapple, kiwi, mint and spinach.  Amazing.  Then had some Siriusly Black chocolate made from Raw Magic for lunch (has lashings of spirulina and I added some suma too).  Yes chocolate for lunch!  It isn’t against the law when you eat it raw.  Oh man that rhymes!  I find my rhyming ability goes up ten-fold when I’ve had raw choc – must be all those neural pathways opening up to experience the yummy choc bliss chemicals 🙂 Check out this fabby article on why you should eat your choccie RAW baby!

I went all crazy sensible and had a highly nutritious Cucumber Soup from Evie’s Kitchen – Shazzies book.  See? You can have the best of both worlds, all worlds by having chocolate for starter then soup for pudding at lunch time.  It’s a crazy, crazy raw world innit?  Ok I HAVE had too much choc.    I sprinkled loads of seagreens and crystal manna on it.

get out the coup eat your soup

Later I made a fabby salad with DULSE.  It was just everything left in the fridge – salad, broccoli, celery, tomato, avo, cucumber with lashings of DULSE and added a fabby dressing given to me by my lovely friend Niamh which she got from Ani Phyo’s Raw Food Kitchen.  It’s a cucumber and orange dressing but I didn’t have all the ingredients and ended up adapting it – cucumber, orange, red chilli, ginger, hemp seeds, olive oil, garlic, salt, lemon juice.  Very tasty (thanks Niamh).

Er, I had ten times as much dulse in this meal but had to take it out the shot or otherwise it’d just be a big pile of dulse with some salad poking out 🙂

2 cool for salad school

No exercise today cos I’m telling myself I’m far too busy with other things.

You’re gonna have to face it you’re addicted to DULSE.  I will stop talking about dulse after today I promise…
