Hemp is one of the most versatile plants on the planet. It is an amazing gift of nature, can produce high-quality clothing, textiles, paper, food and while we’re at it – you can even build a house with it!

Unless we live in the remote hills far away from the modern world, it is highly likely that our adrenal glands are on over-load with a on-going threat of burn-out. The modern world is so ridiculously full of distractions, unnatural stimuli, mechanical background noises, gadgets, pollution, toxic foods, toxic body products, negative media, loud machinery, engines, pressure to make a living, people trying to sell us stuff, lack of community support, perpetual negative thoughts, unrelenting busy-ness and stress, stress, stress! Our bodies weren’t designed to handle that much stimulation, and as adaptable as human beings can be, it all creates an insane build up of stress that leads directly to adrenal burn-out. If the adrenal glands are overstimulated for a long period of time, they eventually become so depleted, that when we really need them, they stop working properly.

There’s nothing quite like a nurturing mug of hot drinking chocolate. It’s like a heart-warming soulful hug from a friend that just can’t help but make you feel loved. Like all my recipes, this version is free from dairy and refined sugar. Using only three ingredients, it’s super quick and easy to make.

Blackberries are loaded with anti-oxidants, making them an excellent choice against free-radical damage and for healthy cardio-vascular support. Not only have they been shown to have anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties they are also rich in vitamin C and manganese. Being a family of avid smoothie drinkers, they tend to make a keen appearance in our breakfast (or anytime) drinks, in a multitude of different ways. Here are two of my favorite smoothie combinations that feature blackberries…
One of my favorite combinations is blackberry with coconut milk or cashew cream. This blend creates a thick, rich creamy purple smoothie that everyone loves. It works well with a frozen banana, although it still works nicely at room t

Plum Pudding Pie’ (which is somewhere between a pudding/cake and a pie) is an excellent way to create a bit of kitchen alchemy and enjoy this simply lovely fruit. Being gluten-free, it’s surprisingly light. It serves wonderfully as a hot pudding straight out of the oven, either completely by itself or with vanilla or coconut sauce. It also works really well as a cold pie dessert or healthy lunchbox snack.
