[What is Acai berry]

The south American Acai palm(Euterpe oleracea)-known as the tree of life in Brazil-provides a small berry which is growing in fame, particularly following recent studies by well-known herbalists and naturopaths that have categorised it as a “superfood”. Acai berries are extremely rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. The acai berry is also famous for its capacity to support dieting, protect the skin, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and prevent the development of certain types of cancer.

[Function]

While there are many different berry and fruit juices on the market, Acai contains the most complete array of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. Acai contains Vitamin B1 (Thiamin), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin),

Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Vitamin C, Vitamin E (tocopherol), iron, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. It also contains the essential fatty acids Omega 6 and Omega 9, all the essential amino acids, and more protein than an average egg.

This time of year, pumpkin makes everything that much more magical! This squash has a lot to offer with lots of fiber, beta-carotene, and delicious flavor. If you don’t have pumpkin on hand, it’s fine to use sweet potato or substitute another kind of squash. Here’s all you need to make it:
Quinoa Lentil Pumpkin No-Meat Loaf
3 ribs of celery, chopped
2 medium onions, chopped
Red, yellow, or green pepper (approx. 2 cups)
2 c. cooked pumpkin (or one 15 oz can of pumpkin)
3 c. cooked quinoa
2 c. cooked lentils
12 oz. tomato paste (two 6oz cans)
4 cloves garlic
1 T. onion powder or granulated onion
2 T. poultry seasoning
3 c. uncooked rolled oats
In a large, nonstick pan, water sauté together the chopped onion, celery, and bell pepper. Turn off heat and add the cooked quinoa, lentils, and pumpkin. Mix well. Then, add in the tomato paste, garlic, and poultry seasoning. Add in the 3 cups of rolled oats, a little at a time until the consistency is about the same as ground beef. Line two loaf pans with parchment to prevent sticking if desired. Bake at 350° for about 50 minutes to an hour. Top with ketchup, gravy, or barbecue sauce if desired.

Pumpkin Seed Nog

1/2 cup raw, organic pumpkin seeds, soaked overnight
1/2 cup pitted medjool dates, soaked in 2 1/2 cups water
pinch of vanilla or 1 vanilla bean (soaked with dates)
pinch of pink himalayan salt
2 teaspoons organic cinnamon powder
pinch of organic nutmeg
2 additional cups of water

Directions:
Strain and rinse the pumpkin seeds.
In a blender (I use a Vitamix) add all the ingredients (including the date soak water) and blend well until smooth and frothy.

This Nog is also great as a milk substitute for lattes and anything else you would normally use milk.
