Happy Healthy 2014 @Edenretreats

This year is going to be amazing. We are starting our 4th year of our Retreat journey in Spain and Iceland. So far it has been a great ride with a lot of learning curves and amazing results. We strive to get even better and with our new villa in La Tercia and the best staff we are sure 2014 will rock.

Our retreat program still consist of the detox, weight loss, relaxation and rejuvenation/natural beauty themes. The programs are pretty much the same with slight changes to the outcome and result. And of course they are still based on your situation, your condition and your goals. We consider our retreat programs not as the solution but as the start of a new life. For many guests it has been the turning point in their life. And we are so proud of seeing peoples lives change for the better.

The holistic approach (there is not one solution) and approaching each individual as a unique person we will continue to create miracles. It has been very successful to add the e-books (recipe books, educational stuff), the mindfulness training (live here in the now at the moment and don't let your mind wander off to stress and unhappiness), the meditation, the raw natural products are all elements we added along the way. We would like you to discover the best inside yourself. Wake up the power and energy you have when you are cleansed, detoxed, nourished and rejuvenated. And above that you will have had the best treatments, massage, effective training and exercises.

Our Retreat starting days are January 6th, January 20th, February 3rd, February 17th and March 3rd.
If you require different dates let us know. Everything is possible.

Raw White Chocolate Coconut Truffles 3 Ways

Raw White Chocolate Coconut Truffles Three Ways

Truffles

• 3 cups unsweetened dried coconut
• 1/2 cup raw melted raw cacao butter (I use this: Raw Cacao Butter )
• 1/4 cup softened coconut butter (I love this one: Organic Raw Coconut Butter )
• 1/4 cup coconut or almond flour
• 1/4 cup raw agave nectar or sweetener of choice
• Pinch Himalayan salt
• 1 teaspoon beet juice (optional for color)
• Organic Peppermint Extract
• Organic Almond Extract

1. Chop cacao butter fine and melt in dehydrator or very carefully in a bowl over simmering water.
2. Stir in coconut butter, coconut flour, dried coconut and himalayan salt.
3. Separate into three batches. Add peppermint and beet juice to first batch and almond extract into second batch. Leave the third batch as it is.
4. Squeeze into balls (this takes some patience as the dough tends to fall apart. You need to squeeze it back and forth in your hands.) Alternatively, press into parchment lined glass dish.
5. Cool until hard. Dip into chocolate coating.

Chocolate Coating:

• 1 cup melted cacao butter (measured after melting) I use this one: Raw Cacao Butter
• 3/4 raw cacao powder
• 3/4 cup raw agave nectar, or liquid sweetener of choice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

1. Cut raw cacao butter into small chunks. Melt over warm water or in the dehydrator (see above instructions).
2. Stir cacao powder, agave and vanilla into melted cacao butter. Whisk until smooth. If it starts to cool to much, just put over heat again.

*Makes about 30
