Paleo Green Tea Coconut Ice Cream

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp Matcha Green Tea Powder

• 2 cans Coconut Milk (Full Fat)

• 1/2 cup Maple Syrup

• 3 tbsp Coconut Oil

1. Add ingredients together
2. Blend
3. Bag em up into separate plastic bags, maybe a sandwich size less than half full
4. Freeze overnight/ until frozen
5. Pop ’em into the blender again, blend
6. If you’re impatient like me, you could eat it right away but it will be quite soft. It’ll be a better texture if you scoop it into your desired container and stick it back into the freezer for another couple hours.

The Master Cleanse

The Lemonade Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tbsp pure GRADE B maple syrup
• 1/10 tsp cayenne pepper (powder)
• 8 oz warm water (preferably purified/spring/distilled)

​Mix lemon juice, water, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup
​
These ingredients are best found in health food stores, I recommend the ingredients being nonGMO and organic because this will be the only thing sitting in your stomach. The lesser the pesticides and basically crap, the better because you will already feel that way once you start.

Salt Water Flush

Tea

You can do it!

Oh Hi Big I!

Hawai‘i, The Big Island

Hawai‘i, or what we call the Big Island, for well, it being the biggest island. The big island is home to Hawai‘i’s active volcano, black sand beaches, and a whole lot of driving.
If you’re looking for some nice empty beaches, flying into Kona is a good idea. Driving north of Kona there are beautiful beaches, cool lava tubes (like seen in the image to the right), incredible snorkeling (image below), and lots and lots of lava rock.
Though if you are looking for Lava, Kona side is not where you want to be unless you want to drive two hours just to get to get to the other side of the island, then drive up the mountain.
Keep in mind, here in Hawai‘i we are home to many different environments being tropical islands. Therefore, depending on the area and side you drive, deciphers your weather and atmosphere.
Warning: the sulphate from the Vog from the lava can leave us with many side effects like headaches and allergies. I recommend remembering to bring some Advil or ibuprofen, (whatever works for you) when driving up the mountain, just in case.

Kai

 The ocean surrounding the Big Island makes me thirsty for more every time I think about it. From the clarity to life to rawness of this salty H2O.
If you’re lucky, you may meet a few new friends. The honu (turtle) are beautiful and also an endangered species so make sure to not touch but to also keep your distance. The bacteria on our skin is threatening to the turtle, reef, and to most of the sea life.
On that note, our rubbish is also very delicious looking food to the honu and their friends, so please malama our aina, take care of our land by throwing away your rubbish and any other rubbish you see so it does not get to them and keeps this island and ocean as incredible as it is.

An example of one drive experiencing the vast array of environments and atmospheres you will experience depending on where you are driving through.

Waimea Coffee Company

For some insanely delicious and nicely done local caffeine and delicious breakfast and lunch

My obsession is their dark cortado! My friend Katherine introduced me to her sisters concoction and got me addicted!

Waimea Farmers Markets

There are so many to choose from!

At the Parker School location it is bowls galore! From loaded delicious poke bowls to pitaya and acai bowls with the works! Saturday mornings at Parker school up in Waimea is the place to be. Was so excited to see the option of adding sweet potato to my bowl, so ono! There are so many venders, for someone indecisive like me, it took forever to decide what I wanted to eat! Pastry, burger, sushi, smoothie, thai food, etc etc? Was a challenge my tastebuds gladly took.

Under the Bodhi Tree

Healthy, vegan restaurant to help keep you lookin good on your vacay. Located in the Mauna Lani shopping centre. They also have delicious vegan pastries, pancakes and acai bowls for breakfast. Yummy sandwiches, salads, and soups for lunch. Their Kombucha on tap is strong and guuuudd as well, we got one of each of their flavors of the day.

Kilauea Volcano

One of the most memorable and incredible moments I’ve experienced in my life. Vast array of the islands beauty. There are many trails and spots to stop on the way. Don’t forget to bring some sort of ibuprofen for the vog (volcanic ash) and sulphate. Sometimes I don’t notice it but other times the island chain is effected with allergies or some weird drowsiness. So when you get close and start breathing a lot in, you may or may not find yourself with a minor headache, but SO worth it!

Gold Coast

Queensland Hikes

The In-Betweens

Since Australia is so large, driving from one territory to another has many cool stops on the way. Below are a few pit stops with my friend Allana in our many adventures of the in-betweens from QLD to NSW.

Beaching

One of the first things I noticed about Australia is that they have so many rocks! Literally everywhere, from rugged cliffside to the white sand shorelines, but this is what has assisted in keeping Australia so new since sailors could not find a way onto the island. Goldy’s coastline may be rocky but it is also surrounded by many long, empty, white sand beaches. I recommend stepping away from crowded surfers paradise and getting in a nice surf in Currumbin or if you’re really good or want to watch the pros, head to Burleigh or Snapper. For a more relaxed stroll and swim, head ova to Nobbys or Miami. If you so happen to be interested in looking into possible colleges, there is Griffith and Bond University. I’ve attended Bond University and been to Griffith’s campus. Bond is a beautiful campus, I recommend visiting Griffith’s campus in Brisbane.

Burleigh

Burleigh Heads is a great destination for cute shops, delicious food, beach days, nice strolls, beautiful sunsets and good surf. Whether bussing or driving, everything is on the most part convenient walking distance. Insanely delicious food with captivating views.
Few great food places:
Pizza: Tom Uglys and Justin Lane
Best Vegetarian I’ve ever had: Govindas
Fancy Dinner: Fish Heads or Rick Shores
​Brekky and Coffee: Burleigh Social
Coffee on the go: Nook Espresso Bar

Currumbin

Post surf:
The Salt Mill for Acai bowls! They also serve coffee, juices, and fresh pastries
If you’re an acai bowl lover like I am, Down 2 Earth organics has by far my favourite acai bowls on the Gold Coast.

Miami

MIAMI MARKETTA
Every Friday and Saturday evening from 5-11pm

​Paddock Bakery
Keep in mind it is a very popular spot so go early or on a weekday if you’re looking for a good seat because the atmosphere is too lovely to take to go.

Mermaid Beach Cafes:
Bam Bam Bakehouse
The Yard Cafe

Blackboard Cafe

It’s an addiction.
Best coffee
Best chais
Best chips
Best muesli
Best baked goods
This place was a delicious problem I lived too close to. Don’t get me started on the customer service, the employees are simply delightful! With their bubbly, real, friendly attitude making your blackboard experience more lovely.
If you’re in Robina looking for a nice cafe, you cannot go wrong heading to blackboard. You could even head to their take away bar, grab a pastry and coffee to go and walk along lake side right across the street. So good, it’s bad!

Wandering Cooks

So grateful I was not only gifted the opportunity to taste all of Sarah’s food but I was able to spend time working under this incredible individual. Learning her skill, hard work, passion, and overall love for this business she has started from her kitchen.

Cinnamon Buns

Wandering Cooks

Located on the West End of Brisbane, Sarah’s events at wandering cooks give her the opportunity to make whatever it is she would like, letting her creative juices flow. Never know what to expect out of her but you can expect whatever that may be to be delicious. From sweet to savory, it truly is nothing but perfection.

I recommend checking out her instagram, these photos do NO justice to the work she does regularly.

 

O‘ahu Eats

Where to even begin?! You must of course have a taste of our local food. Get to a good luau to try haupia (coconut dessert), lau lau, poi (taro), and of course kalua pig (specially made in an imu, where the entire pig is steamed underground covered by banana leaves). Coming to Hawai‘i you must also try more of our local heartburn foods like loco moco (rice, hamburger patty, egg, and gravy) and spam musubi (rice, spam, teriyaki sauce, furikake, wrapped in seaweed). Hawai‘i is such a melting pot ofcultures. Our food is very islander but also includes many fusions of different cultures, especially asian influence.

Malasadas: Hawaiian or Portuguese doughnut

To the far left Arielle and I swung by the local farmers market to get ourselves a bag of fresh hot malasadas. My favourite are coconut custard filled that you can get from Leonard’s bakery, which is open 24/7! Talk about a great midnight snack!

Below this image to the left is San Diego’s, Summer, biting into Leonard’s East Side food truck chocolate dobash filled li hing mui malasada.

Absolutely love being able to meet the incedible people I have met on my journeys and being able guide these eager, happy people around spots like Hawai‘i!

Place to Stay

Looking for a place to stay on Kaua’i?

Being one who loves to find new places and explore the unknown, I will always recommend experiencing the place you are traveling to. This means getting out of the resort. Staying in a resort is great and a warm luxury but try to experience the local lifestyle. This ends up saving quite a lot of money as well if you are looking to stay somewhere longer or looking to go with family or a group of people.

If visiting the island of Kaua’i, here is a link to a lovely vacation rental on the north shore minutes to some of my most favourite places in the world!

Book
Absolutely love outdoor shower next to the little garden, the location, and the beauty and comfort of the interior.
