The Universal Nut Milk Bag.

This ergonomically designed, multi purpose nut milk bag is lovingly hand made in Ibiza, Spain.

"The Universal Nut Milk Bag has been designed and manufactured to provide an affordable, efficient and reliable solution for the raw chef, dairy intolerant sufferer, or for anyone seeking health improvements. We researched, developed, tested and refined the design, until we created what we felt was the perfect combination of qualities a nut milk bag should possess. We would actually regard a nut milk bag as an essential tool in any raw, living food kitchen!"

At the end of Day 16's challenge (ends Tuesday 2nd Oct), there will be 3 winners of:

A pair of personalised UC Love Friendship Bracelets from Universe+Chorus
RRP £15.50 (US$24.00) for 2
www.universeandchorus.com




This is the limited 1st Edition of the UC Love friendship bracelet.

The string is sun bleached blue and green linen - to represent the Earth and the Sky. It's wrapped in a candy floss cotton to represent the energy which surrounds all existence. When the colors of the linen fade to blend with the cotton, you will see that it is a metaphor for life in that once the physical fades, it is all just energy.

The gold heart is what you always have. It is stamped with the letters UC - which stand for Universe + Chorus. But also it serves as a reminder to always see through the eyes of Love, that's why I call this bracelet UC Love.

I hand braid all the bracelets and hand stamp all the hearts myself in Brooklyn.

On the other side of the heart you can choose to have one letter stamped at no extra cost. This letter could be your first name or your best friend's name. Or what ever is more meaningful for you, just let me know which letter you'd like and I'll stamp it. 

They are always made with Love,
Alissa

Alissa Alekseeva writes about holistic philosophy in a way that you can implement into your life to create a world you love to live in. She sees life as a song you sing, you can change its genre, mood, tone and impact. It's your Universe and Chorus.

ella f (vía email) won Successful Fasting for Health and Vitality eBook.

Rhiannon DeLoretto Kamper (via Facebook), won the full set of Max Tuck's lecture MP3s. Rhiannon said "I have to go with milk/dairy as well. Since we were old enough to say the word, we are told that milk "does a body good" and "makes our bones big and strong". While there is truth to the fact that milk contains a lot of calcium, our bodies are unable to absorb calcium in conjunction with high protein(which milk also contains). Not to mention that the high amounts of calcium in the milk is used to neutralize the acidic reaction our bodies have when milk is consumed. Milk will actually deplete our bones of calcium, cause mucus in our bodies and acidify us. Dairy, especially here in America where it has to be pasturized, is poison to our bodies and has no health benefits whatsoever."



We have taken magnificent organic white mulberries, dipped them in our deliciously dark raw chocolate, and finished them with a generous dusting of cacao powder. This sweet synergy of rich, raw chocolate and sweet mulberries will tickle your senses and have you saying “YES!” to life, love and chocolate!

Ever since we discovered the amazing health benefits of raw chocolate in 2006, we’ve been spreading the love and creating delicious, highly nutritious raw chocolate for all our friends and customers to enjoy.

We have been committed to eco-sustainability from the start, choosing ethically sourced ingredients and powering our production process with renewable energy.

It’s been quite a journey, and along the way we’ve discovered a whole world of plant based supreme foods that are deeply nourishing and health enhancing. We are excited about the extraordinary potential of these foods to bring greater health, energy, joy and vitality into the lives of people from all walks of life!

You probably know that chocolate can be full of amazing anti-oxidants, nutrients and minerals. Conventional production methods destroy most of these so we have set out to retain as many as possible through our unique low temperature production method. This preserves as many of the nutrients as possible, which we have enhanced even further by adding some really super, supreme ingredients! All our products are sourced from small farming operations. Where available we use Organic and Fair Trade.

We have a gorgeous selection of raw chocolate coated berries to choose from – White Mulberries, Goji Berries and Raisins. Look out for more coming soon! We also have a range of six raw chocolate bars in two sizes - delicious and exceedingly nutritious. We pour as much love into each bar as possible. They are all lovingly hand made just outside Brighton in small batches.
