Throwback Thursday, the High Vibe Style Part 1

Welcome to Throwback Thursday #TBT High Vibe style!!

Who says this is only for photos?

We have a lot of great videos, blog posts and interviews, and it's time to share this with you, some for the second time and some for the very first time. Yes sorry, we have kept them from you...

Lets start with this beautiful put together blog post from the Bonzai Aphrodite.
She took these photos while doing Victoria Moran's Vegan Academy Class.

Here's what she has to say about High Vibe, enjoy.

"We were off and field tripping again. This time, to the East Village for a stop into High Vibe, one of the oldest raw foods shoppes in New York.

High Vibe is owned by Bob Dagger (coolest name, right?!) who is just this incredibly genuine guy. Sweet and helpful and full of knowledge, he is tops and this place is amazing. SO MUCH exciting raw goodness (may I recommend the strawberries? I brought a bag home for Waits because they were just so epically amazing!). I also snagged some chocolates and snacks, plus some Dr Cow cheese which I’ve ALWAYS wanted to try, plus some non-food items like a nut milk bag and a dry skin brush. Whew!

Please check out the whole post here: Bonzai Aphrodite

Also visit this link to a passage out of Victora Moran's book: The Good Karma Diet, where Dagger is getting mentioned by her,
for inspiring her with the High Vibe saying: 'Be As Raw As You Wanna Be".

Valencian Cookies! Vegan and Gluten-free

 Valencian Cookies

Servings: 12-15 cookies

This recipe is from a blog called the Bright Bird and they look and sound oh so delicious!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup buckwheat
  

• 1/2 cup tigernuts
  

• 1/4 cup coconut sugar (can be substituted with any other sugar but coconut sugar has a delicious caramel-like taste)
  

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  

• 1/2 small banana

• 2 tablespoon nut butter (cashew, almond, macadamia...any would do)

• 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk

 

Directions:

1. In a blender or food processor, blend the buckwheat and the chufa/tigernuts until you get a flour.

2. Mix the flour with the cinnamon and the sugar.

3. Mash the banana and mix it with the nut butter and the tablespoon of non-dairy milk to get a batter-like consistency.

4. Add the batter to the flour mix and stir until well combined. The batter will be very thick.

5. Preheat oven at 180ºC.

6. Place baking paper on a baking sheet and scoop the batter on top. Slightly flatten the cookies up.
   

7. Once all cookies are formed, place the baking tray in the oven and bake 15 minutes at 180ºC.

8. Let them cook on the baking tray for around 15 minutes.

Let us know if you give this recipe a try, or better yet bring us some cookies to the store. :)

What are Tigernuts?

The Tigernut (cyperus sculentus lativum) or 'Chufa' as it is known in Spanish, is not actually a nut, but a small tuber.

It was first discovered 4000 years ago.
The Tigernut is a tuber that has been used for centuries in an important part of Africa.
The ancient Egyptians, one of the greatest civilizations of antiquity, already used this food for its magnificent healing and regenerative properties.
Evidence of how valuable Tigernuts were for the Egyptians is given by the fact that Tigernuts were found in some sarcophagi, where it is known that the Egyptians were buried with their most valuable possessions. Since those times, or even before, different civilizations have given the Tigernut a fundamental role in a balanced and healthy diet.

Tigernuts have long been recognised for their health benefits, as they are:

• high in fiber
• protein
• natural sugars
• zero cholersterol
• low in calories
• good source of iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium

The Tigernut has a rough, rounded shape and a certain earth-like color, since it is buried there until it is removed for consumption. The plant has characteristic intense green leafs that can be seen very often in some fields of African countries and in some villages in the coastal Valencia.

Great as a snack to curb that hunger pain in the afternoon, add them to your morning cereals, and try soaking them for up to 4 hours to make them soft and chewy again.

Homemade Lip Balm Recipe!

Homemade All-Natural Lip Balm

Did you know that making your own Lip Balm can be super easy and fun?

Here are two recipes for you. They are infused with Essential Oil for a lovely smell and some extra skin nourishment.

Natural Lip Balm
2.5 Tbsp Coconut Oil
1.5 Tbsp Beeswax
10 drop Young Living Essential Oil (Choose 1 - Lavender, Peppermint, Citrus Fresh, or Cinnamon Bark/Peppermint)

Remove from heat. Add your choice of essential oils. Quickly pour into measuring cup and pour into lip balm containers from measuring cup.
Work quickly as coconut oil hardens quickly.

Gently melt the cocoa butter, coconut oil, sweet almond oil and beeswax in a double boiler or a glass bowl set on top of a pot of simmering water.
Remove from heat. Stir in Peppermint essential oil.
Quickly pour into measuring cup and pour into lip balm containers from measuring cup.

Recipe Sunday! Brownies.

Prepare this brownies and you will have a healthy, sugar-free treat to keep you going for the week!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Lakanto

1/3 cup cacao powder

3 tbsp arrowroot powder

1/3 cup coconut butter

1/3 cup coconut oil

1 can full fat coconut milk

1 1/2 tsp vanilla powder

1/2 tsp pink himalayan salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup almond flour

1/3 cup brown rice or coconut flour

2-3 oz. cacao paste

 

Directions

Melt coconut butter and coconut oil on the double boiler

Whisk together LAKANTO®, cacao powder, arrowroot, soda, salt, vanilla, baking powder, and 3/4 can coconut milk.

Start adding almond flour, followed by coconut or rice flour.

Melt cacao paste or bakers chocolate in double boiler. Make sure not to overheat it.

Pour into the dough and mix well. It might start getting very thick as it combines with LAKANTO®. If the mixtures clumps up, slowly add the extra coconut milk until silky smooth appearance, but still gooey . If you made it too liquid add a bit more flour and arrowroot. The dough should be thick and easy enough to spread.

Line your baking dish with unbleached brown parchment paper or oil it with coconut oil. Pour the dough into your pan. Shake to get rid of bubbles and even out.

If desired chop up 1 LAKANTO® bar or spread a hand full of chocolate chips on top of the brownie mix.

Place into the oven for 35-40 minutes at 350 F. Take out when the edges are set. The middle will still be somewhat gooey.

Let the brownie cool and set for at least 3 hours before cutting.

Cut and use peppermint frosting or vanilla frosting for extra oomph!

NOTE: you can use more LAKANTO® if you like your brownies very sweet. Use up to 2/3 of a cup for very sweet brownies

NOTE : if out of coconut milk you can use almond milk as well. It just wont be as fudge. I have done it it half and half as well and it worked out amazing

NOTE: Brown rice flour is lighter and airier. Coconut flour gives more density. Also if you add more flour by volume the brownie will become more like a cake rather then fudge.

Recipe is taken from: Lakanto

What is Lakanto?

Over a thousand years ago in remote mountain highlands of Asia, a group of Buddhist monks called the Luohan achieved enlightenment through meditation, prayer and pure living. On the slopes of a primeval forest, the monks discovered and cultivated a rare fruit prized for its sweetness. This sacred fruit was named Monk Fruit, or Luohan Guo, after its devoted caretakers and was used in elixirs to increase chi, or life energy.

Monk Fruit was used for centuries in eastern traditional herbalism to increase chi and well-being, earning it the nickname “The Immortals’ Fruit.” We still grow and harvest Monk Fruit for LAKANTO^® in the same pristine area and according to traditional and environmental methods.

Born from a proprietary mixture of the high-purity Monk Fruit extract and Erythritol, LAKANTO^® is a delicious, all-natural, zero calorie, zero glycemic sweetener with the sumptuous rich taste of sugar.
