Hey guys!
As the title already gives away - today is all about yoga! As I told you yesterday, my goals are to build muscles, have more energy and to just overall feel better. And yoga is the perfect way to accomplish that!
I am not completely new to yoga, but I'd still consider myself a beginner due to my fitness and flexibility (which is both barely existent).
With black pen
I write red thoughts
In a gray notebook.
I wave blue dreams in a cruel
Dark brown world.
I’ve long lost my rose-colored glasses.
Have always seen people’s true
Color spectrum.
In the chosen one’s
Milk white fog, I am
Doomed to eternal solitude by
The purple sages. Only my
Bourbon thoughts, loyal
Green friends, and pale…
Growing up, I was a picky eater. Tomatoes were persona non grata on my plate. Though I recognized that the "I'm-A-Fruit-Masquerading-As-A-Vegetable" meant well, I couldn't understand why tomatoes insisted on encasing their precious seeds in something the consistency of snot. Oranges were also out of the question. If we were meant to eat them, why would the powers that be weave all that stringy, pulpy crap throughout an orange's flesh?
Ingredients:
Directions:
In your high speed blender or food processor, blend together bananas and nut milk until thick, smooth, and creamy. If using flavorings, add them here as well. Pulse in 3 tbsp of your stir ins, along with your sauce. Spoon into a cup, and top with the remaining stir ins. If you want, you can also add a little whipped cream to top it off. Serve immediately, or place in the freezer until ready to eat.
Below I’ve included some of the blizzard flavors, and my best guess at recreating them. To make one, just use the ingredients listed according to the directions above. Feel free to experiment, and come up with your own blizzard combinations – next to eating them, this is the funnest part! I like to get inspired on the DQwebsite.
You’ll notice that I list a few different types of chocolate sauce. Hard chocolate sauce is basically just my recipe for raw chocolate, which will harden when cold. Liquid chocolate sauce does not harden when cold, and can be made by blending together equal parts olive oil, cacao, and honey or agave. Fudge is a thicker chocolate sauce, and can be made by combining equal parts dates and cacao, with a little water and salt. For cheesecake and pie crusts, I use equal parts nuts and dates, blended together with a little salt or lemon juice to form a dough.

Did you know that the life expectancy of the inhabitants of Okinawa Island is about 110 years? The explanation in their eating habits. The island's residents consumed 20% less calories than the already long-lived and healthy eating average Japanese man. Their food contains only fish and vegetable, and eat 25% less sugar, 75% less grain than other people.
This kind of special diet slows the aging process (the accumulation of free oxygen radicals, damaging molecules), maintains blood pressure, blood sugar levels and protects from obesity and cancer and greatly reduces the risk of heart diseases.

The World According to Monsanto
There’s nothing they are leaving untouched: the mustard, the okra, the bringe oil, the rice, the cauliflower. Once they have established the norm: that seed can be owned as their property, royalties can be collected.
We will depend on them for every seed we grow of every crop we grow. If they control seed, they control food, they know it – it’s strategic.
