The heat is turned up this weekend
Astrologically things are tense and pretty weird 🤗
But there still can be little gems of nice surprises in between when there’s a Uranus transit (Mars square Uranus) 💎
I randomly stopped at the Freedom Farmers Market today and got these cutie little items and some flowers for a pretty girl 💐 (not pictured)
Next week should be more chill. Hang on baby 🤠

Blood-sugar friendly sweet treat 🤎🤍 you can eat this as a snack without a crash 🧚 add your favorite protein powder if you want more balanced macros
Ingredients:
* 1 cup baked/peeled Japanese sweet potato
* 1-2 T peanut butter
* 1.5 T cacao powder
* 2-3 T pure maple syrup
* 1 tsp vanilla
* 1/2 cup pure water (or as little as possible to blend)
* 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
Directions:
1. make sure ingredients are either room temp or warm to blend properly with coconut oil
2. put all ingredients in a nutribullet or Vitamix blender (ideal to use a big powerful blender if doubling or tripling the recipe) blend smooth
3. serve chilled dusted with cacoa & sugar/monkfruit sugar
**this is a very basic version of this recipe, it’s best if you add toppings/mix-ins. Blending in a bit of your favorite protein powder does super well. Topping with cookie crumbs, coconut flakes, nuts, more syrup, or honey is yum. You can take this from good to great this way

Kava kava (Piper methysticum) is a plant indigenous to the Pacific Islands
For centuries it’s roots have been used in ceremony as a way to connect & alter consciousness. Over time it has become more recreationally known & consumed
It’s believed onset effects are similar to alcohol:
-relaxation
-stress/anxiety reduction
-talkativeness
-euphoria
However unlike alcohol there’s maintained mental clarity & no hangover
If you’ve enjoyed kava before come hang & bring a friend! If not we’re excited to introduce you 🤝

It’s not a bad idea to take activated charcoal periodically, considering the amount of gnarly chemicals circulating in our air/food/water in this modern world. Just don’t take it at the same time as medications/herbs that you want efficacy from- it can suck those out like a vacuum along with any lingering toxins 🖤🌚

Blue Moon Bars from last week 🌕🪐
It only works for me to do intuitive baking (well intuitive everything)
Mostly I stick to the same ingredients/recipe, but the magic truly comes in when I can match the current vibes to the barz
These turned out both beautiful & beneficial- spirulina & holy basil were the stars of this show ⭐️
