What are the best #oils to take care of the skin? #primrose and #borage

Posted on 9 January 202010 December 2019 by Claire Samuel

According to French naturopath David from the youtube channel L’orme vert (in French), primrose and borage oils are the best ever when it comes to skin care.

But they are even more efficient when eaten instead of applied to the skin!

I have a great recipe for you: mix thinly sliced red onions, garlic, ginger, turmeric, sea salt with one table spoon of apple cider vinegar, one table spoon of primrose oil and one table spoon of borage oil.

It is a great salad dressing for red lentils! I do not cook red lentils but simply soak them for a whole night.

When beauty is yummy, I am game!

I celebrate #spirulina being back in my cupboard with a #chocolate smoothie

Posted on 30 December 20197 December 2019 by Claire Samuel

I love to combine spirulina and raw cacao in a green smoothie!

This is such a delight to be back from my favorite spirulina farm in the South of France Solis Culturae with a big jar of this magical seaweed I had been waiting for such a long time!

Now that spirulina is back in my cupbaord, let’s celebrate with a gorgeous green smoothie of spirulina raw chocolate and bananas!

Lilian’s tip (see the video ” Why is #spirulina so good for us or visit of a spirulina farm“) is to combine spirulina and vitamin C to make the iron even more absorbable by the body.

My personal tip: use spirulina like crazy when you have your periods 😉

My chocolate comes from Raw Living of course.

How to make nondairy #cheese #raw #vegan recipe

Posted on 29 December 201929 November 2019 by Claire Samuel

I was born in the country of cheese and wine: France.

However, I stopped eating dairy more than a decade ago. And I became 90% raw vegan four years ago!

So let’s be creative by making a French nondairy cheese.

The cheese recipe is simple: soaked sunflower seeds at Raw Living), water, fresh turmeric and ginger, tamari or sea salt, garlic and/or a bit of onion, apple cider vinegar or lemon and chives if you have them. You can also add Irish moss or sea moss for extra creamy texture!

I am testing Patricia’s #salad #dressing recipe with ginger and #tahini

Posted on 26 December 201925 November 2019 by Claire Samuel

Patricia is a great woman from our beautiful community and she recently shared a recipe during a live stream that I promised I would try!

This is so very good my friend my sister and you don’t need a blender.

Simply mix one tablespoon of tahini (sesame paste) with the same amout of tamari (fermented soy sauce) with finely grated ginger root.

Add water to obtain the desired consistency and enjoy!

I dipped apple slices in this salad dressing… heaven! Will you try it my friend my sister?

My first #raw and improvised #cake for you my friend my sister

Posted on 21 December 201925 November 2019 by Claire Samuel

My first raw cake did not turn out as I thought.

My first raw cake is totally improvised on camera and I feel I am making it with you my friend my sister.

My first raw cake is not pretty looking.

My first raw cake is soooo delicious!

To all the not perfect recipes, to all the so-called failures, to trying to do our best, to not being an expert, to learning as I grow and to sharing the experience along the way.

I love you my friend my sister #notperfect and #happy

The toppings are fresh seaweed and soaked sunflower seeds. Enjoy!

My nice #herbal smoothies

Posted on 14 December 201914 November 2019 by Claire Samuel

Yesterday I went to the forest and picked beautiful dandelions leaves (and flowers!) along the way. I love dandelions because they are so good for the liver. You can use them easily in a smoothie with bananas.

If you cannot have access to freshly picked wild dandelions, you can try herbs like cilantro. I am passionate about cilantro, whether it is in savory or sweet dishes. Try cilantro and bananas or mangoes, again this is a fantastic green smoothie for you, very detoxing and delicious.

Which herb do you prefer my friend my sister? Lots of love to you!

Green #smoothie #recipe with wild #blueberries and curly lettuce

Posted on 8 December 20198 December 2019 by Claire Samuel

Is it really a green smoothie? Yes because it has curly lettuce but no because the wild blueberries give it a fantastic purple color! Add some ginger and coconut water and this is the best treat ever my friend my sister!

You can add toppings such as grated coconut and cacao nibs from Raw Living of course:
