Aloe Vera Drink

Nga mihi ki a koutou!

We were up the coast in Te Kaha and our whanau have the 'mother aloe vera', she is who i have got all my baby plants from and no matter how much we use she just keeps on growing.  So when I came back I decided to make a drink with this beautiful plant as I feel it to be very healing internally and the tamariki (children) loved it too!

Aloe Vera Drink

1  Large Aloe Leaf  (slice and scrap inner gel out)
1/2 c Goji berries
1 Orange (pealed)
1c Berries (whatever available)
Water to blend

Blend altogether and drink straight away, mmmm, delicious!

Harore

Tena Koutou!

Finally I have managed to set up this blog (thanks Bro!) and look forward to posting up some recipes and any infomation that we find interesting on our journey.

We are blessed to be surrounded by the ngahere (native bush) and of course we spend as much time imersed in this space and vibration.  We love discovering  nga harore (mushrooms) as i know this is an important part of our kai and has been eaten by Tuhoe, being an inland iwi.  This particular variety I know little off, only that it is safe to eat and tastes good.  We have also been drying it in Tama nui te raa (sun) and then powdering for our supershakes.  This way it is very easy to get into your diet on a daily basis.  I liked David Wolfe's korero on the importance of eating from the Kingdom of mushrooms and wild mushrooms grow in forrests all over the world.

This picture was taken a couple of months ago but these are quite a common growth and are still here with us.  I think this may also be a good source of B12 as it is a micro organism and would be found on this type of kai.

Mauri Ora!
