Rejuvelac ~ Update

Hello!!

The rejuvelac is complete and ready to be guzzled!! Surprisingly, I wasn't hesitant to dive right in and start chug'n... of course dear ol' hubby had to chug first! ;)

It tastes like old sock water... and if that's the worst of it with all the added health benefits, then I'm down!! This is great!! I continuously drank the rejuvelac all day and let me tell ya! I have had amazing energy all day long... which is very rare for me!! I'm on cloud nine and without a doubt, in major love with my new drink which is now a family staple! Oh hell yeah!!

Now I'm on to batch #2 and #3... yep! and possibly #4!!

Some health benefits of rejuvelac? Sure:

Friendly bacteria such as lactobacillus, acidophilus, bifidus and many more!!
Helps control the intestinal environment against invading microbes, yeast, fungi, parasites and also synthesize important B-vitamins.
Aid in digestion
Cleans out the colon
Promotes a healthy glow and rejuvenated skin
Increased energy

... What more could you ask for? The drink is so easy to make, inexpensive and yet extremely health beneficial.

Cheers!!

High energy Rejuvelac and Sprouts

Finally!! I'm making my very first batch of rejuvelac!! I've always wanted to make it and I've always told myself that I was going to make it! So here I am now... Making IT!!!

It started from a conversation I had had with a very special friend of mine early morning while hiking. We were discussing fermented foods, kombucha and all the likes. The conversation got me thinking of the fact "why aren't I already making these high probiotic foods/drinks for myself and for my precious family??

I spent some time online educating myself on how to make my first batch of rejuvelac... and let me tell you... It's as easy as 1 - 2 - 3!! No joke!!

Yesterday my shipment of wheat berries had arrived and I thought "ummm how perfect!!" and dove right in to my first batch of rejuvelac. I soaked my cute little wheat berries over night (making of course, a super special batch for my sweet friend... I mean, come on, that's what friends are for!).

Beside the jars are my precious crystals full of energy, love and light! (rainbow obsidian, rose quartz, aventurine, and tigers eye). After the wheat berries soaked overnight, I rinsed them and placed them back into the jar to await another two rinsings (two rinses are great per day, three is even better!).

And just so that I knew what I was doing... I wrote "rejuvelac" on the jars!! (yeah, I'm funny like that!). Beautiful loving crystals on top!!

So that's day two of the rejuvelac process! Simple so far, right!! Tomorrow I will rinse the wheat berries three more times, and by day four, the wheat berries will have exquisite green tails on them which will be ready to make REJUVELAC!! :)

My next adventure today was the process of starting my sprouts!!


This is day one of the sprouting process. Soaking the seeds. As you see here I have broccoli, green peas and alfalfa soaking in prep for sprouting! Again, crystal love all around!

Love and Light!
