    28 DAYS OF ALKALISING GIVE-AWAYS


    EXCITEMENT ALERT! September 10th will be the start of the most awesome, fun and biggest give-away challenge ever seen on Better Raw, and quite possibly in all of the raw food multiverse!

    Every day for 28 business days, I'm giving away prizes, that will blow your mind, ground you and make you more alkaline, all at the same time!


    What in the name of Superman has possessed me to do such awesomeness? Well I will give you three pretty good reasons for this:

    1. I go kinda gooey caramel for the digits themselves- '2' because that's already a team; '8' because it's not just a number, it's symbol of infinity. 28 is the number of days it takes to form an unbreakable habit. I'm turning 28 this September and a gal's gotta celebrate!
    2. There are just too many companies that I want to introduce to you, any less than 28 doesn't quite feel right. I hand picked each one myself, as I love, use and genuinely recommend each of the services and goodies which will be revealed to you daily.
    3. In November (date to be revealed), I'll be launching my online program '28 Days to Acid-Alkaline Breakthrough'. I'm getting predictable here, I know. The AAB online course will give you access to MP3 recordings, charts, worksheets and daily tips to dramatically increase your pH levels from acid to neutral, so you can unleash your body's potential to heal and feel permanently and outrageously healthy. Yeah!


    How it works: 
    • From Monday 10th Sept until Wednesday 17th Oct- there will be a brand new exciting prize revealed every single working day (that’s 28 days!). 
    • You’ll have just 24 hours to complete a mini challenge for that day’s prize. Winners will be announced the very next day. 
    • If you are here for the first time, click on the most recently revealed image below to learn more about today’s prize and how you can win it. 
    • To never miss a day’s challenge, click here to register your email address. You will receive a fun daily note delivered straight to your inbox with a newly revealed prize.

    Stem Ginger Chocolate truffles ingredients: cocoa solids, cane sugar, soya lecothin, vanilla, stem ginger, coconut oil, ginger juice, cocoa powder

    Oh. Em. Gee. How lucky we are to have some booja-booja in our lives. Where do I even start? What do I even say? When you are eating this multi multi multi award winning chocolate, not only do you not have any words, nothing else matters to you, nothing in the whole world. No words, nothing matters.

    Right, I am ready to speak, I think. I have to start by admitting that I have just recently tried Booja-Booja's truffles, because they are not all 100% raw. They do however have a totally raw variety, like the raspberry and dark ecuadorian chocolates, but the other ten odd flavours are not raw, though they are organic, vegan (dairy free), gluten free and as far as I am concerned- guilt free! 

    But for a long time now I have been the Number One Fan of Booja-Booja's ice creams! And the ice-creams ARE 100% raw, contain only a few ingredients, all produced at low heat to retain the nutrients and so ridiculously indulgently delicious, they have no doubt made a big contribution in giving a raw food lifestyle the mouth watering name it deserves!

    Back to the chocolate... basically I still have no words. They are truly something you must try for yourself. They are unbelievably creamy, totally melt in your mouth, have the most outrageously luxurious rich taste, and then they are... gone. 

    You would've noticed that over the entire Eleven Days of Raw Chocolate Give-Aways I have been including a recipe suggestion with every prize. This involved getting a company's product/chocolate, adding a few extra ingredients and turning it into a brand new concoction... 

    Well I couldn't do it this time. I simply could NOT bring myself to changing anything about this piece of heaven. That would just be a crime in my books. So instead I decided to invent a drink that would go perfectly with a truffle of your choice and I couldn't think of a better chocolate companion than... lavender! 

    Enjoy :)



    ________________________________________________________________________

    RECIPE SUGGESTION: Lavender and Vanilla infused coconut milk





    1 Tbsp dried lavender buds
    1 cup hot water
    2 cups coconut milk (not canned! made exactly the same as this Nut Milk, but using coconut meat instead of almonds)
    1 vanilla bean, seeds only scrapped
    2 Tbsp agave nectar

    Put the lavender buds in hot water, cover and leave to infuse for 1-8 hours
    Strain the buds and pour the water into the blender
    Add all the remaining ingredients to the blender and blend
    [This milk drink is lovely warmed, so blend on high for 1 full minute, but if you prefer a cool drink, just add ice]


    How do you like the recipe? If you do, just wait till you see another 22 in my eBook Seduced- Raw Chocolate Recipes to get very excited for! Available to download in seconds! More please>>
