You may have heard about Dr Masaru Emoto’s work.

He is the awesome dude who showed us that although all molecular composition of water is H2O, it is the structure of all water which is different.

He took water from various sources and demonstrated it to us under a microscope to reveal snowflake-like structures, he then uttered various words to the water and demonstrated what happens to these structures.

Here’s an example:

Dr Emoto did an experiment which blew everyone’s minds and got us all trying this at home. He distributed the same amount of rice and water from the same source into identical jars and put them near each other in the same room. Then, every day for a month, he uttered the words ‘Thank you’ to one jar, to the middle jar he said ‘You’re an idiot’ and the last jar- he completely ignored.

After a month, the rice that had been thanked was fermenting and giving off a pleasant aroma; the rice in the second jar turned black; but it was the rice that had been ignored which shockingly was the most ‘damaged’. It started to rot.

Dr Emoto believed that this is the same as how we bring up children. We should converse with them and give them attention. Indifference does the most harm.

Deepak Chopra took this experiment even further and showed us how the same principle applied in the work force, where to be criticised is actually better than to be ignored. Your rate of disengagement falls to a whooping 42% when you are ignored, 25% when you are criticised and just 1% when you are supported.

Deepak Chopra also showed us that when we experience love, our brain goes into a healing mode.

And the same goes for all water.

Kind words such as ‘I love you’ or ‘Thank you’ or ‘You’re beautiful’ uttered lovingly to your glass of water even when it comes out of a tap can transform the pH of it from acid to alkaline.

That’s some powerful stuff!

Can you even imagine what else you can do with such simple techniques if you only knew what they were?

Can you imagine having the key to shedding off the weight which is bothering you, improving your digestion, healing your skin, increasing bone density, awakening your consciousness and deepening your relationship with the Divine?…

Deepak has all the answers! Not even kidding.

Firstly... THIS comment:

"Tanya Maher's cake was incredible- the first non beetroot tasting beetroot red velvet cake I've ever had - and want to make."

- Anna Mendonca after my demo at The Wellbeing Now Seminar

Secondly... THIS picture:

There's a very happy baby boy inside getting so many benefits from all the beetroot I've been feeding him... But seriously, how is THAT bump only 7 months? 

Thirdly... THESE benefits:

(Screenshot taken from @earthyandy post on Instagram. So perfectly timed as we're both pregnant and I was just starting to wonder why I'm enjoying beets so much lately)

Finally... Why are you still here reading and not making this beauty?

RAW RED VELVET CAKE

For the red cake

3 cups almond meal (left from making milk out of 4-5 cups soaked almonds)*

1/2 cup + 1 tbsp  beetroot juice (from about 2 beets)**

8 medjool dates, de-stoned or 16 soft pitted dates

4 tbsp xylitol

3 tbsp cacao powder

½ vanilla pod, seeds only

½ tsp Himalayan salt

For the icing

2 cups cashews, soaked overnight

3/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil, melted

1/3 cup + 2 tbsp xylitol

juice of 1 lemon (4 tbsp)

½ vanilla pod, seeds only

For the optional decorations

goji berries

mulberries

edible flowers

*The prepared almond milk will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge and actually is an amazing accompaniment to this cake. Otherwise make superfood shakes or freeze in ice cube trays to use in smoothies later. I make my almond milk blending 1 cup soaked nuts + 2.5 or 3 cups water + 3 pitted dates + pinch salt, then straining.

**If you don’t have a juicer, use a blender. Blend up the beetroot and strain the juice through a nut bag/ cheese cloth. I blend approx. 3 small beets with 1/3 cups water.

-For the icing, firstly scrape out the seeds from a whole vanilla pod. To do so, slice the pod in half lengthwise, then use a teaspoon to literally scrape all the seeds out until the inside of the pod is dry.

-Blend all the icing ingredients till creamy. Transfer to the fridge while making the cake. (Be sure not to leave it there to solidify fully, we just want to cool it to a spreadable consistency).

-Process all the red cake ingredients in a food processor with an S blade.

-Now for the tricky/fun part: divide the red cake mixture into three equal parts, take one part and distribute it along the bottom of a 7 inch cake tin with a removable base (wrap the base in cling film), firmly pressing it down with your hand or a soft spatula. The trick here is not to spread a layer of icing and then add another layer of cake, as it will all turn into one big mess when you try and make a firm smooth layer of the cake again… so…

-Carefully remove the layer of cake with the base and flip it over onto a clean serving plate. Remove the metal base, then the cling film. Spread a layer of icing on top. Repeat this process of creating the red cake layer two more times, each time carefully removing it out of the cake tin, placing on top of the frosting layer and icing it again.

-When all three layers of red cake and icing are structured into a cake, use the remainder of the frosting to cover the sides of your cake, until the red colour is no longer peeking through.

-Decorate with berries / dried fruit of your choice.

-Place in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours to set, then slice with a sharp knife, wiping it clean with a paper towel in-between.

The countdown to the most incredible event of the year has officially begun!

Did you know that I’m hosting a magical rejuvenation retreat, happening 11-16 October, in pure paradise called Sardinia?

It’s not a detox retreat, it’s not a fasting holiday, instead...

WE. SHALL. EAT!

AND I will teach you how to make them all so you will go home completely purified, satisfied, ‘meditated’, yoga’d, inspired, energised and equipped with new skills for life.

One of the people attending this retreat has been my coaching client for years and she valued the 5 day program to be AT LEAST 4 TIMES MORE expensive than it is.

8:30am Final Superfood breakfast feast

9:30am Closing power coaching session & Your best life ever takeaways

Here are some love notes from dear clients:

"Tanya really knows her stuff. Having had her as my coach for three years, I sincerely believe that her retreat is well below its true value. Being in her presence is powerful enough, but having Tanya teach you her very best recipes, nutritional information and meditation practices is life changing in the very best way."

-Marianne Daniels, USA

"I suffered with migraines, bloating, severe aching and burning limbs, constant reflux, regurgitation and heartburn, severe fatigue, lack of concentration, anxiety and depression. Just days after learning from Tanya, I could feel the burning in my stomach and joints has gone down dramatically, as well as all aches and pains. My reflux and heartburn have reduced by at least 70%. I found it most helpful to discover what the alkalising foods are and how they rate on the pH scale, so if I'm ever feeling acidic, I just refer to the list, make Tanya's recipes and quickly feel better."

-Loretta Murphy, Australia

"Tanya is a fantastic example of how to live a life with passion and purpose. She gives an amazing amount of value every time she is with clients. I love to work with experts and learn from the best, Tanya definitely ticks that box. If you are interested in finding what real health and energy feel like, then a fantastic start would be to see Tanya in action, you will never regret it." 

-Graham Harris, UK

I reckon if there was a competition for the healthiest and most nutrient dense ice cream that kids actually enjoy, this recipe could very well be IT!

It's easy to make in any blender and any ice block mould (or improvise with a baking tray like I've done below). And just take a look at the health benefits of the ingredients:

Pili nuts:   These are my latest obsession and are possibly the most delicious nut ever. They taste like a blend of macadamia, cashew and brazil nut. The Raw & Wild brand which we stock at Tanya's already comes activated, so if you have a powerful blender, there's no need to soak! Pili nuts are ultra high in Vitamin E, magnesium, manganese, thiamine/vitamin B1, phosphorus and copper. They are also great for getting extra iron, zinc and calcium in you! This cocktail of nutrients is quite literally amazing for everything from healthy hair and nails to top immune system and bone health to better sleep and controlling your blood sugar levels to improving mood, brain function and even vision!

Udo's Choice Oil Blend:  This oil blend of essential fats derived from flax, sunflower seed, sesame seed, evening primrose and coconut is honestly magical! It provides all the Omega 3s and 6s you need in one day in a single spoonful. Aside from being incredible for your skin and brain function, I add this to my family's recipes for great digestion. I'm so eager to have you giving it to your family that I've arranged a special 20% off discount for you... Simply go to the Udo's Choice website and enter promo code BETTERRAW at check out for the whole store!

Mango:  Most of you might agree that no other fruit compares to a sweet ripe aromatic creamy mango. It therefore comes as a surprise to many that mangos are jam packed with nutrients which help combat diabetes, promote smoother elimination, protect against free radicals, strengthen bones and improve joints.

Apple juice:  When you use freshly squeezed apple juice (or buy cold-pressed!), it gives you extra enzymes for energy and every bodily function really. Apple juice contains lots of Vitamin C, so it's great for the immune system. It even cleanses the liver! Please only ever use organic apples though, because if you juice conventional, you're consuming all the pesticides, herbicides and chemicals that come with them, no matter how hard you scrub your apples.

Creamy Raw Vegan Ice Blocks

2 x Ripe Mangos, peeled and de-stoned

1 x 70g pack Original Pili Nuts (buy at Tanya's, Whole Foods UK, Planet Organic, etc)

300ml x Organic Apple Juice

3 tablespoons x Udo's Choice Oil Blend (see promo code above)

Optional (advised for fussy kids): 60g Maple Syrup

-If you don't have a high powered blender, soak the pili nuts in water for 4-6 hours, otherwise use straight out of packet.

-Transfer all the ingredients into your blender and blend till creamy. Note: if using maple syrup, it is likely to taste too sweet, but don't worry because sweetness dulls once frozen.

-Transfer into ice block moulds, insert a wooden stick and transfer to the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours.

[We were in NZ at this time and didn't have our ice lolly moulds handy, so I found this baking tray and folded some tin foil inside to the point which held the right amount of mixture, so that the sticks had plenty of support]:

In this below pic, Lake is 1, her cousin Stanley is [almost] 4 and cousin Theo is 2,5. At this age, Lake hasn't had anything sweet apart from fruits, so she was super into the ice-block and ate up the entire thing! For the boys, I wish I added the optional maple syrup, they would've finished more than 1/3 and got all those amazing nutrients into them.

You know your kiddies and their fussiness best, so keep that in mind when contemplating the additional maple syrup- the overall sweetness of anything will always dull when food freezes. 

If you'd love to know more tricks for sneaking vital nutrients and vitamins into your children's lunches, as well learn some seriously delicious recipes that your 2-11 year olds won't even realise are healthy, my next class is for you!...  

Imagine yourself here.

Sardinia. One of the blue zones of the world, where more centenarians enjoy the best quality of life to anywhere else on earth.

Forte Village. Truly luxury accommodation, voted the World's Leading Resort.

Wake up to gentle movement through yoga and kick off your digestion with warm chlorophyll water.

Pick your own vegetables for a truly personalised juice from an abundant garden set within the 47 acres of the resort.

Understand yourself and your soul's message through mandala drawing meditation.

Dive into hours of Tanya's nutritional teachings, ultra health coaching and raw food workshops for longevity.

Experience healing and detox through massage and Thalassotherapy (a circuit of pools with saline and salt oil concentrations to draw toxins through the skin for ultimate rejuvenation).

Enjoy the soft warm sand under your feet as you explore the long golden beach.

Oh and did I mention the magnificent private gardens, breath work, organically grown raw food breakfasts and lunches with zero mileage, the best life changing conversations and free time in the evening to explore various restaurants? (Note that my wish for you is to truly relax, to feel ridiculously good, outrageously happy and...to avoid uncomfortable detox symptoms, so because most of us aren't used to a raw food cuisine 24/7, we recommend that you stick to a familiar diet at dinner.)

Prices for 5 nights including all of the above start at EURO €1,845. (Approx £1,625).
