Food-Nutrition-Health Seminar Series - Whole Plant Sweet Sauces

THIS IS THE FIRST POST FOR OUR SEMINAR ON SATURDAY 15 June @10:00am PST

REGISTRATION FOR THIS SEMINAR CLOSES AT 11:00pm PST ON 14 June







Below you will find three incredible sweet sauces with 100% whole foods and spices - Spicy Apricot Ginger - Dark Chocolate - Tart Caramel ... use them as dips for your fruit or as flavorings for your Whole Plant cakes and cookies!



And as if that were not enough! These sauces are also good mood and energy boosters with their powerful impact on our endocrine and digestive systems.


Well, enough with the words - let's get to the sauces! We hope you enjoy creating these in your kitchens!





Here are three recipes I enjoy for creating sweet sauces and during our seminar on Saturday, June 15th we will explore the 'why' behind my ingredient choices, discuss other recipe options and reveal just why these amazing plants are so very important to include in our nutritional routines.


I have included the recipes below with guidance for each step of the process to ensure maximum nutritional availability from our plants.
