Sun and fruits - Bliss in Barcelona!

Just got back from a shorter trip to Barcelona! What a beautiful town, with all the people, architecture, sun, the beach and all the lovely fruits!! What else can a girl possibly ask for?...


Beautiful Barcelona

Some phots from amazing fruit market:


Sweet melons and capsicums



Look! My friends - the watermelons!




Had a kilo of strawberries at the beach...


My sweet cherries :)

It is real easy, simple and perfectly brilliant to be a raw food traveller. Food is abundant everywhere! Even the most boring, not-at-all-like-in-Bangkok, airport, you can find some bananas or a salad. And then, the most important thing to remember, is to always BRING some food, so you have some if you´re caught out arriving at midnight somewhere or travelling vast distances (through airports like the one in Moscow... anyone been there??... just the worst ever...), you are always prepared. And fruits are so easy to bring. You might want to bring some tissues though... especially if you brought some mangoes :) A spoon and a knife should be in your suitcase as well.

Now looking forward to even more Spanish watermelons - in Sweden :)

Have a beautiful day in the lovely sun! /Alex

Fresh Food Festival Bliss

Back from Lolland, Denmark - taking part in Fresh Food Festival!!! What a joy. Such a wonderful event. We were blessed with sun, happy people, inspiring talks and LOADS of fresh, ripe, sweet fruits. And did I mention we had some watermelons? Well, along with the watermelons, I´ve had jackfruit, mangoes, dates, other melons, kiwis, apples, tomatoes (oh, such sweet tomatoes...) and lots of other good stuff.


Petr, one of the organizers.

Sunny, warm days on the beautiful country side in Lolland, Southern Denmark... my heart is happy. So much love to organizers Petr, Laura and Annette!!!


Mr Jack the Fruit

Sharing some phots from the event - and hope to see you all there next year!

My friends... soon to be eaten...


Dr Douglas Graham - sharing so much
stories, inspiration, knowledge and experience.


Lovely lunch table


Jackfruit! Peeled jackfruit! Anyone asking for anything else?????

Don´t really know how the summer could possibly become any better from here :) Life keeps excelling itself all the time. It is so important to be among like ones now and again (or - preferably, ALL the time...). To be able to eat whatever without remarks like "you´re really gonna eat all that??" or "have we got a monkey in here?" or "yeah right, and then you eat some PROPER food in the evening, right?"...

Anyways... life is bliss. Just been munching on some grapes and cherry tomatoes waiting in the airport for a plane to Barcelona. Just perfect.

Lots of love - have a beautiful evening /Alex

Otherwise, here in Sweden, I mostly sustain myself by eating melons, bananas and pineapple right now. Some lettuce in between... and tomatoes are getting cheap. Doing the best I can. Keeping it simple.

Favorite lunch option:

1/2 head of lettuce
250 gr cherry tomatoes, organic
maybe some avocado or something else...
2 bananas, chopped
1/2-1 pineapple, chopped
All blended in a big bowl. Plus some more bananas maybe or some melon to start off with. It depends on for how long my lunch break is... It´s really easy though to prep at home before work - just chop everything up, put it in a container - and voilá! Make the container big though...

Lots of fruitfull love /Alex

Parsley-pineapple :)

It´s been a while... Now - back in Sweden. Back in Uppsala, north of Stockholm. In a sleeping summer suburb. Will work here this summer.


Looking forward to Fresh Food Festival, with Annette and Petr in a few weeks time! Will involve a lot of fruits... and yoga.. .and inspiration for a greener, fruitier life :)


This morning, I had a nice thick green smoothie:


This one included Parsley, one Pineapple, a few bananas, and some ginger - and turned out real fabulous!

Until next time - love and bless /Alex
