Hello everyone! Last week I arrived back from the mainland after hosting the Raw Food & Self-Empowerment Retreat with the amazing Laura Dawn from Happyandraw.com Everything went perfect and the women who joined us were just amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better group to join us, it was a blessing! I had such an incredible time on the Big Island, it is a true source of magical energy and creation. The air there is so PURE and contains an abundance of moisture for the body — you literally glow there! Being able to eat fruit straight from the land is incredibly grounding and humbling, and it was the best fruit I’ve had in my life! I will definitely find myself back there in the next couple of years.
I’ve had this falafel recipe in my back pocket for almost two years now and I’m glad I’ve waiting to share it all with you because I’ve been so busy since coming back home that I haven’t had time to photograph any of my meals. Still, I have been making an insane amount of yummy goodness and playing around in the kitchen almost every night, so stayed tuned. You can see what I’m up to on my SnapChat: LIVEPUREJENNA
