A milkshake for breakfast? That seems too indulgent, right? Nope. Our chocolate PB (for plant-based) milkshake is all about meeting your daily pleasure quotient before you even jump in the shower.

Blend all ingredients and enjoy! This recipe is for one serving.

• 1 banana, ripe
• 1 big Tbsp almond or hazelnut butter

iThis recipe has quickly become a favourite meal in our household. Not only can I whip it up in on a minute flat, but it has your tastebuds singing. I have included a tablespoon of agave nectar in the recipe here, but i often leave it out, as the flavours without it are good enough for me. I would make it without the nectar, taste it, then decide if you want to add it.

Mix all ingredients and enjoy! This recipe is for one serving.

• 1 Tbsp cocoa powder (I used the high fat 33% red cocoa powder)
• 1/3 cup coconut yogurt, plain and unsweetened
• 1/3 cup apple sauce, unsweetened
• 1/4 tsp vanilla
• 1 Tbsp agave nectar

The real title of this soup is Creamed Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup, but that didn’t fit nicely in the tab above 😉

So, this soup . . . . As we know, orange is the colour of our sacral center, and it is where we find many delicioous orange fruits, veggies and spices. Once you sautee the onions in the coconut oil for a few minutes, add the remaining ingredients and bring to s slow boil for 20 minutes until the carrots and sweet potatoes are fully cooked. Place the soup in a blender to puree and enjoy

This makes 4 large servings. If you want to impress your guests, swirl a bit of plain, unsweetened coconut yogurt in  just before serving.

• 1 large onion, minced
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 tsp curry powder, plus add some freshly cracked pepper
• 3 large carrot, chopped finely
• 2 large sweet potatoes, chopped finely
• 2 liters of vegetable broth or water
• Add salt to taste
• Garnish with finely crumbled walnuts

Yep. more dessert! Why not. We are setting sail and heading straight to Pleasure Island on this energy center trip, so why not have a delicious and nutritious beverage in hand. With all frozen fruits and beverages when I use them, I like to take them out of the freezer a few hours before I use them to allow them to get us to room temp before using them. Trust me. it will make your belly happier.

Blend all the ingredients and enjoy! Makes 1 serving

• 1 cup coconut yogurt, plain, unsweetened
• 1 banana, ripe
• 1/2 cup mango, frozen or fresh
• 1 orange
• 1 cup coconut milk
• a dash of cinnamon (because everything could use a dash of cinnamon)
•  

It is always funny for every situation in life, there is always an exception, a black sheep in the family that is a bit different. The same is true with our sacral energy center. We look at all the passion inducing foods: mango, peaches, yams, carrots, oranges and they all tend to fall into the orang-is family But then comes along the black sheep: asparagus! Yep, asparagus has been long known to spur creativity and pleasure. Who knew!

After sauteeing the onions and garlic with the oil for a few minutes, add the broth/water and asparagus. Finish with the lemon juice and coconut yogurt. Makes 3-4 servings.

• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 grouping of asparagus (usually sold in 12-20 spears depending how big they are)
• 6 cups vegetable broth or water
• Finish with 1 tsp lemon juice, and
• 1/2 cup coconut yogurt, plain and unsweetened
• Salt and pepper to taste
