Sweetface Chocolate

We’re house sitting a lovely place perched high on the top of a hill, built by an amazing woman who has created her dream home (and mine too) inspired by Bali, where she has spent a lot of time. We are doing yoga, chilling with three Himalayan Persian cats and staring at the spectacular view and beautiful decor. There are shelves and shelves of interesting books, Balinese paintings, fabric, sculpture and furniture, and the house and garden are teeming with the colors of an underwater coral reef. Everywhere I look, a figure made of stone or wood sits in the lotus position, with their hands in some elegant pose. It’s easy to be like the Buddha up here away from the rest of the world, where it seems I have everything you could want or need.

The kitchen is stocked with all kinds of goodies. I whipped up this magic potion with the help of Sunfire Superfoods. It’s called Chocolate Bliss- a word combo I find to be redundant. It’s made of cacao, hemp seeds, coconut, Rhodiola Rosea, salt, msm, bioperine, vanilla, carob, tocotrienols, the following berries: camu, acerola, amla, manioc, blue, rasp, cran, sprouted buckwheat, and other things like manioc root, rose hips fruit, lemon peel and psyllium seed.

I used to study up on the latest ancient re-discovered superfoods, but I’ve fallen behind on that so I don’t know what half these things are. Or if I should be ingesting them all at once. But it tastes really good. I added frozen local mango and topped it with a sprig of what’s known as Jamaican Thyme. The leaf is potent and aromatic and good for salads. I won’t be eating it with the smoothie but I will make some tea with it later. Finishing touch is Ceylon Cinnamon, which is rich and fragrant with a hint of citrus. When I pass away – hopefully in a state of bliss, I might like to be embalmed in it.
