2 dl of oats
1 dl of almond or coconut milk
1 1/2 dl of water
1 tsp of vanilla
Let sit over night and dress with berries, fruits, superfoods, spices, nuts and seeds. If you want it extra creamy add less fluids.
This was the favorit breakfast at Yogaakademins retreat. I also served buckwheat creams, sesame cream, plant yogurts and beautiful sweet fruit from the markets.
Water infused with hibiskus, lemon balm, basil and mint.
You know when you have that last swim of the summer. You enjoy it and it feels great but it also feels kind of bitter sweet. Like you know it won´t be the same tomorrow. You can walk to the same spot look into the water and turn around because now the magcic is gone. Summer has left the buliding. Like a lover has left you and you him.
All is like it should be you have new grounds pave and other paths to walk.
But it also feels a bit sad. Those feelings feelt will not to come again, you get reminded that life changes with the seasons and you have to follow along.
I always turn Miss. Melancholy when this happens. I want to turn around and throw in the towel no matter how good my life is.
To get out of this slump I do three things.
I meditate and practice yoga. I stare into a wall and daydream. I plan ahead and keep busy.
Meditation and yoga is a remedy that works well. Like brushing my teeth. It just does its thing. Staring into the wall and daydreaming I try to do when by myself….. People don´t really get this part. Plan ahead and stay busy was very easy this year. Things have finally fallen into place and I´m very busy.
Apart from my jobb this fall I`m booked to fly out on the 17th of september with Yogiakademin to Biarritz. I get to indulge in my passions yoga, food, be by the sea and also I get to bring someone I love with me. This will be my vacation this year. I´ve worked too much and need to breath a bit. At the moment I don´t feel happy. I feel kind of sad, tired and far away from myself. That´s what happens when you focus on one thing and loose the rest. That´s what happens when you leave to much of your life in other peoples hands. You should never have to prove yourself just be who you are.
MORE YOGA
Then in october and november I´m going to cover a few classes for AnneSophie/YogaKungsholmen when she is of to India. A-S was my yoga student and went on to be a great theacher on her own. Funny how life turns out:) I´m glad yoga is moving more into my life after a long absentness.
SOAP AND WATER GIRL
About beauty and all that shit. People think I eat cleaner than I do. My regime is my life.
I love my coffee, pizza, chocolate and I eat loads of it. I move around all the time but then when I rest I´ve learnt how to be still.
This is all I do. No fancy creams on my skin or luxurious workouts. I´m just soap, water and some simple stretches everyday.
Anyway as I always say let pictures speak more than my words

A salad is a dish consisting of small pieces of food, which may be mixed with a sauce or salad dressing// Wikipedia
Buying salad sauvage from my favorite booth in the market in Nice
Left over salad in my lap
It´s also a beautiful way to serve plants. I some times say that raw food is a million opportunities to make a random salad look and taste amazing.
I love to roll mine up in rice paper och nori sheets, makes great finger food. I call the rice paper rolls for “condom of flowers”.
Condom of flowers
Skinny or thick you choose
Raw vegan sushi
Swiss chard wraps
Zuccini blossoms, shredded carrots, dijon mustard and avocado is a super yumy combo and a bit different than the regular asian once. Mix it up.
Or to serve it straight in a beautiful leaf of lettuce, chard, chiccoria or kale. Just put the filling in the leafy part. Use sprouts, roots, fruits, meat, bird, beans, pasta, pizza, cheese or what ever you desire. Get touchy feely with your food, there are napkins you know.
Pimp with dressings, sauces or use funny little sauce cups to dip in. Or another favorit is to spray the dressing lightly with a mini water spray on to what your serving.
Cashew turmeric sauce
Raw lasange is also a way of serving salad
My favorite dressing is just lemon juice, salt and oliv oil. Massage it on your kale add some blueberries, pecans and creamy goats cheese.
Another sauce or more like a syrup is my date syrup, fresh berries ( black currants ) and some lemon juice. Pairs together beautifuly with mozzarella and basil.
If I´m making a speacial dinner I just put the ingredients on the table and then on a wooden board. On the table goes whole pieces of peaches, tomatoes on the wine, oliv branches, cedro lemons and just about everything you also have on the board cut up for eating.
Plant lovers can have thier fun while still sharing with the meat lovers. Make the salad the center piece and add/make the extra bits around it.
