Merrily & Jane prepared a vast array of heated food items for this month's cafe. Guest paid $5 to partake of the spread of hot food items that were all prepared the Natural Way. If individuals had arrive without having had their Barley and their fruit meal (Step 1 of the Natural Way) we offered them some Barley to drink (no fruit so we weren't imporperly combining our food).
We spent some time listening to each other share about where we are within the Natural Way. It's always encouraging to hear how everyone is doing and be reminded that we're all in this journey towards Perfect Health together.
We gathered around the television to Skype Mary-Ann in for a short teaching on Proteins. The information shared was important and went along with our monthly newletter topic. We ended with a question and answer time, where questions were answered by Mary-Ann.
Breakfast Recipes
Begin each day with your Barley (Beets & Carrots), and your Aimega (9servings of fruits & veggies & your essential oils).
Next, enjoy a fruit meal of sorts - Smoothie, Bowl of Fruit (providing your body w/glucose - helps curb the sugar cravings)
After a minimum of a 1/2 hour (best to wait 1 hour for proper digestion), feel free to enjoy a properly combined Hot Breakfast. We have 6 different breakfast ideas below - feel free to discover your own healthy combinations.
