A Superfood Talk and Raw food Dinner with David Wolfe!

The start of June came very quickly. It was back in March when mum and I booked tickets to hear the Superfood master David Wolfe at Samudra in Dunsborough! Maybe our excitement made it come so quickly but it seemed to be over in a flash. While there was a full weekend retreat with David mum and I booked for a raw food dinner and evening talk about Superfoods and health. The talk previously throughout the day was apparently very eye opening and inspiring but this one was still just that.

Having a nice mother-daughter drive we had our 'pre-drinks' to prepare with mums amazing green smoothies!

Once we got there however after a look around it was straight to our raw dinner :) The tables were set up in lovely white with candle centrepiece!

Our dinner was yummy 'Rainbow Enchiladas' aka Mexican spiced zucchini wrap filled with tomatoes, mixed bean sprouts and dehydrated mushrooms topped with cashew 'sour cream', guacamole and a side of sweet pickled chillies... wow! Unfortunately it was a little spicy for mum but not letting anything go to waste very little was left over between us.

We had a little wander around Samudra and flicked through some very tempting books by David!

Mum bought the Superfood book and I got the 'naked chocolate' to match my cacao addiction which i realised i am not alone in! Having a whole book on cacao and the cacao bean has to be telling us something... this in one powerful superfood!

David himself was a great speaker. I loved his interaction with us all and his slide show taking health into perspective with a little humour. While I cannot go through all that was said there are two things that really hit me from his talk?

1. You can NEVER have too much cacao!! It truly is an amazing superfood known way back by the Mayan Inca's.
2. Mushrooms are superfoods I have never thought too much about! They are the only living thing that grows from something else (aka a tree) without taking over it, what properties would this indicate? Mushrooms are awesome anti-cancer foods!
3. The most 'super' superfoods are dark... red grapes, beetroot, cacao to name a few, the darker foods are the ones most rich in antioxidants, anti-cancer properties and full of nutrition!
4. Eating healthy and raw doesn't have to be so hard, you don't have to go 100% as that is impractical! Simply add a variety of raw foods into your diet slowly and you will fall into a healthy and wonderfully vibrant routine!

But his talk was very inspiring we learnt a lot there is so much I want to do!!
If you ever get a chance to listen to his talks i recommend you do, or have a read of one of his great books :)

Mum and I also had a treat of nut milk chai and a raw banoffee pie before we left but it was hard to choose from the mouth watering raw desert cabinet...

We ended the night on a high talking to David, thanking him for the wonderful talk and getting his signature in our new books :) unfortunately the camera man was not actually a camera person and the photo was a little blurry but it is still visible all the same :P

 

And before we knew it we were driving back home, our superfood life reignited again with raw and super ideas for our health and well being! I'm so thankful to share these health journey's with my mum, I must thank mum for starting us on this journey after learning about green smoothies, making them for us and our journey progressed! We have found a flare which is inside everyone, food is what makes us live, it is the maker of our bodies and mind and overall outlook on life. We all have the ability to make healthy choices and experiment, what is there to lose? Nothing, there is only so much to gain!

 

Thank you Samudra and David, we will be back again soon :)

 



 

P.S. when you have a chance look up 'Bernando LaPallo'... 111 years of age living on a raw food diet, AMAZING!!
