A Raw Food Meetup Idea and Smoothie Recipe

<–spread of raw foods and superfoods. Soon to be replaced with a pic of the smoothie recipe I give below though!
Okay…my idea for one of the best raw food meetups ever: host a small raw potluck at someone’s house (10-15 people max). Invite a (or your) naturopath over to the house for a reasonable fee. I’m thinking if everyone pays $10-$15 each, it will adequately pay for his or her time for those couple of hours (plus they are getting an opportunity to promote themselves to a new audience). They can talk a bit about health, detoxing, reading the lines and dots in the eyes, supplements that work, supplements that don’t, etc. A little Q & A too, of course. Then, he or she can also spend some time with each person, talking to them about what they see (from their skin, hair, eyes, etc), giving some possible solutions to their health challenges, and maybe telling them a bit about live blood cell analysis. If the naturopath is pretty affordable (like mine is) everybody wins at this meetup! The naturopath gets paid for their time and will most likely get some new clients, get to taste some amazing raw food creations, and probably learn a thing or two about the raw foods lifestyle. And the Meetup group gets to enjoy a great speaker as well as one-on-one advice on their health. Most people have never been to a naturopath before so it would be an enlightening experience for them. I’ve thought about having my naturopath bring over all of her flower essence-making things so she could make a customized blend for everyone but then I thought this would take up too much time. Instead, people could bring a few of the supplements and/or superfoods they’re currently taking and ask what she thinks about them or what dosage would be best for that person. They could also ask her what detox she would recommend for their spring cleanse. I can’t wait for this potluck and already have a date on the calendar.
A quick update on The Green Crush: the menu is coming along quite nicely. I am getting really excited. I’m not quite sure about the pricing yet. I’m still playing around with it. I would do superfood add-ins for the standard $1 each or do something new like “Superfood Me” for an extra $2. OR, if I should make the smoothies a little pricier and the superfoods add-ins a little less pricey to really encourage people to pay the little extra money and try the superfoods out.
Here’s my favorite “Hold the Greens” smoothie so far:
1 large and juicy peeled orange
1 frozen banana
1 heaping tablespoon cacao powder
1 small handful of cacao nibs
Some orange zest.
To superfood it:
2 tablespoons tocotrienals
1/3 aloe vera leaf
1 teaspoon camu camu
1 tablespoon maca
Pinch of celtic sea salt
Make it and drink it with joy!
