My Raw Food Protein Shake for the Slovakian Slopes
Christmas 2013 was a bit different for us.. in a really really good way, and I have my Facebook family to thank for that! We've always wanted to try out Eastern Europe for skiing, so I came to you guys for location ideas. Jasna in Slovakia was by far the most recommended by you all and now there are TEN more satisfied and enthusiastic Slovakia advertisers...
We may not have been so lucky with snow fall and were only left to dream about what fresh powder of the Tatras National Park would be like, but nevertheless we got an entire week of skiing under own belt. We even managed to visit the most amazing heated outdoor Aquapark Tatralandia, the gorgeous spa and sauna facilities of the Druzba Hotel, late night disco (YES- disco!) at Route 66 and celebrate Christmas the Slovakian way on the 24th. Here are some of my favourite pics:
Eastern Europe + cold winter + general love of all things meaty… isn’t exactly the best combo for a raw food enthusiast, so I had to come prepared.
Fruit, veggies and tea- you can get anywhere, but I also travelled with a bottle of Liquid Chlorophyll, my own pH Booster for smoothies and salads, maca capsules, Pura Vida’s breads, my dehydrated pineapple crackers, curried kale chips and granola (from eBook Nourished- Comforting Raw Foods for Winter), a Personal Blender from Tribest and a few other ingredients required for my daily Protein Shake.
It is this Protein Shake, which so many of you showed interest for on Facebook, so I decided to shoot a little video and show you exactly what I put into it and why. Enjoy it on YouTube>>
If you follow @BetterRaw on any of the social networks, you’ll have a pretty good idea of what it is I eat while travelling, but here are a couple of ideas either way…
 |
| Me and Santa's Little Helper, making a Rosemary Nut Roast and Mushroom Jus (both from Festive eBook). |
 |
| A trio of dehydrated snacks which kept us going on the slopes. |
 |
| An epic find at the top of the mountain, where they make fresh ginger tea with unlimited refills. |

And of course my protein shake full of immunising properties. Click here to watch the video on YouTube>> |
