To make Pure Avocado Energy, you will need:
- Salish alder smoked sea salt
- High quality Seabuckthorn berry oil (hemp seed oil, or another high frequency botanical oil)
Peel and slice the avocados in half. Remove seed. Place 2 halves with “bowls” up on each plate.
Sprinkle cayenne and Salish smoked salt over the avocados, and drizzle lightly with seabuckthorn berry oil. Serve immediately. Serves 2.
Avocados are one of the most nutritious foods for regenerating the digestive system. They are nutrient dense, meaning they provide substantial amounts of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients with relatively few calories.
Avocados provide nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins and folic acid. They also act as a “nutrient booster” by enabling the body to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients, such as alpha and beta-carotene and lutein, from foods that are eaten with the fruit.
Folic acid helps produce and maintain new cells. This is especially important during periods of rapid cell division and growth. Both adults and children need folic acid to make normal red blood cells and prevent anemia.
Avocado has sometimes received a “bad rap” as a vegetable too high in fat. While it is true that avocado is a high-fat food (about 85% of its calories come from fat), the fat contained in avocado is unusual and provides strong health benefits. It can even promote weight loss for those who have excess weight and are nutritionally depleted.
Recent research has shown that absorption of two key carotenoid antioxidants—lycopene and beta-carotene—increases significantly when fresh avocado is added to an otherwise avocado-free salad. One cup of fresh avocado (150 grams) added to a salad of romaine lettuce, spinach, and carrots increased absorption of carotenoids from this salad between 200-400%.
We tend to think about carotenoids as most concentrated in bright orange or red vegetables like carrots or tomatoes.
While these vegetables are fantastic sources of carotenoids, avocado is now known to contain a spectacular array of carotenoids. Researchers believe that avocado’s amazing carotenoid diversity is a key factor in the anti-inflammatory properties of this vegetable.
The list of carotenoids found in avocado include well-known ones like beta-carotene, alpha-carotene and lutein, but also many lesser known carotenoids including neochrome, neoxanthin, chrysanthemaxanthin, beta-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and violaxanthin.
Emerald Elixir Recipe
This recipe makes a truly astonishing regenerating drink for summer, made from the herbs and “weeds” growing in your own garden! It is healing to the heart, cleansing to the blood and lymphatic system. I recommend drinking up to 1 quart daily if you are regenerating from a degenerative condition or disease, or in the process of losing excess weight. This formula can be used for months at a time with very beneficial effects.
To Make Emerald Elixir
Place in a Vita-mix or blender:
2-3 cups fresh chickweed
3 to 6 dandelion leaves
2 to 4 plantain leaves
14 drops stevia extract OR maple syrup to taste
2 drops peppermint essential oil OR 12 drops grapefruit essential oil
Fill with 1 quart purified water
Blend on high for 2 minutes. Strain and store in the refrigerator.
Emerald elixir should be added to water for use. Start with 2 tablespoons elixir in a 6 to 8 oz. glass of water. Take this dosage three times a day for best results. Once your body gets used to the elixir, you can drink more or stronger doses daily.
This elixir can be stored under refrigeration for several weeks without losing its potency. If the taste or aroma changes do not use it. Store in a glass quart jar in the refrigerator.

1/4 t. paprika
4 drops sweet basil essential oil
1/2 green pepper, finely chopped
1 T. chives or green onion, finely chopped

Give yourself a gift of a home facial!
1) Wash your face with 2 T. oatmeal mixed with just enough water to make it wet. Rub oatmeal into face and scrub lightly. Allow it to dry and brush off residue with your fingers.
2) Blend together: 2 T. goat cheese, soft unsalted butter, or farmer cheese; 10 drops seabuckthorn seed oil; 10 drops rose otto (pure rose oil). Spread this blend around face and neck, using gentle upward and outward strokes. Allow it to sit for 15 minutes then gently brush off any residue.
3) Boil 2 cups of pure water with 1 T. astragalus root. Simmer for 30 minutes. Strain and add 20 drops lemon, sweet orange, or bitter orange essential oils. Place in a spray bottle and spray over entire neck and face. This can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
Repeat this facial treatment weekly. Over time, you will see your skin become vibrant and flexible, turning back the clock on the aging process!
This is a variation on a treatment shared with me by a woman from India. If you have ever noticed, many women of India seem to retain beautiful skin throughout old age, and my mentor believes this is the key to maintaining that vibrant skin.
Dulse Crunchies Recipe
Heat a heavy skillet or cast iron pan:
1/4 cup Maine Coast brand dulse
Scatter the dulse on the hot pan or griddle. No need to add oil, the heat will cook the dulse very quickly.
Continue to stir and turn it over, allowing heat to cook all sides evenly. It will change color and become crunchy. Do not allow it to burn.
Remove toasted dulse and sprinkle on top of salads, sandwiches, or just eat it as it is!
Dulse Crunchies make a great bacon substitute. It will lose its crunch as it cools, so it is best to eat it immediately.
For a different, more savory flavor, toss the toasted dulse with 3 drops tarragon or rosemary essential oil.
