Kapai Puku Chicken Delight

I recently finished my Tribal Blend of Kapai Puku seeds and decided on my repurchase to go back to the Naked Blend, which contains none of the raisins or fruits, cutting back on the sugar, which suits me just fine.

I noticed on the Kapai website they offered a recipe channel via YouTube and came across this Chicken Delight. It was super quick, easy and filling!

Starting the day the right way

If you don't start the day right you will find it so much harder to get back on the bandwagon.
I like to start my day two ways: a warm glass of water and half a squeezed lemon (boil one half of the glass and use either filtered or tap for the other part). The other way is a fruit/veggie juice alongside a bowl of Kapai Puku seeds that I've let soak overnight (8 hours minimum, longer for greater benefits) in warm water and lemon. Place just enough water to cover the seeds but do remember they will expand in the liquid. Personally, I like them to be completely absorbed by the time I get to then in the morning. It is a bit of an acquired taste, but I guarantee you will get used to it.
Eat them slowly and start the day right!

Ultimate detox boost

Today I was in need of an ultimate detox boost.
My brother turned 18 this weekend and, of course, with all the festivities comes the "party" food, gulp. I wish I could recount here that I remained strong, resilient and had great self control, but I would be lying. I have never felt so sick and out of control as I did last night, and it was sadly not from any excessive alcohol consumption as it was from the food: mini pies, sausage roles, pastizzi, pizza, chocolate, lollies, kabana, cheese, dips, olives, chips, and of course, the cake....I'm feeling queasy  just thinking about it.
I feel as though I really took a big step back last night and am feeling pretty down on myself, not understating what possessed me to completely be taken over by foods I never usually surround myself around.

Today I told Stipe I needed a detox juice, presto!
Here we are...

Want to know what's in it?
2 apples
1/4 cucumber
Lettuce
Handful spinach
Handful parsley
Teaspoon wheatgrass
2 Spirulina tablets
1 Swisse 50 billion probiotic
Ice

A slow one to drink but your body will thank you for it and hopefully this one has allowed for a faster recovery.
