ElixirCraft Mastery: 6 Hour Audio Course on the Power of Liquid Herbal Alchemy

ElixirCraft Mastery is the latest collaboration between We Like It Raw and Alchemist Daniel Vitalis.

In short ElixirCraft Mastery is a 6 Part 6 Hour MP3 Course on the power of liquid herbal alchemy. You really have to hear it to believe it, so instead of me really trying to explain I suggest you head over to elixir-mastery.com to listen to a free 11 minute preview of the course.

I’m all about the raw food movement becoming more sophisticated and this course is my contribution to that mission.

Here are what some of my friends have to say about the course:

Shazzie:

“Who would have known that technology would get to such a point that we can now have the Elixir Master himself, Daniel Vitalis, teach us everything about liquids right in our living room, no matter where we are in the world? I am chomping at the bit to let my customers know about this course! Having studied it myself, I just know that the hours upon hours of detailed yet simply presented information will make my customers even more ecstatic than they already are! Thank you for creating a king of courses.”

Heidi and Justin from Raw Food Right Now:

It is our prediction that ElixirCraft
will be part (or leader) of a whole new paradigm for home-based
nutrition. Now that we all “got” the raw aspect of eating, it’s time to
ask, “What’s next?”. In our opinion, ElixirCraft is what is next, or at
least part of it.

Philip:

“Daniel and Dhrumil are true players! I wish I could be exactly like them.”

Actually Philip didn’t say that, but I’m sure he’s thought it before. ; )

I’ll be making my own video testimonial about the course tomorrow. I want to be authentic and transparent about 1) why I teamed up with Daniel to put this course out there and 2) how this information has evolved my own journey.

Hope you enjoy!

Quickies: Raw Chocolate and Valentines Day Love

I see raw chocolate as a treat, something to enjoy on special occasions with friends. I’m not crazy about it (I’m not crazy about anything) and I’m also not anti-chocolate either. I respect all the conversations that are happening out there on the subject of chocolate AND my feeling is that most We Like It Raw readers feel the way I do. We don’t worship at the chocolate altar, but we do enjoy it once in a while.

That all being said, with Valentines Day coming up I thought I’d feature some of the latest happenings in the world of Raw Chocolate. New companies, special deals, classes and more. Enjoy!

Smoked Salmon Salad is a Healthy Lunch Option

Eating a smoked salmon salad several times a week as your lunch is a great way to build your commitment to healthy eating in a way that is both nutritious and good for you. Of course, the vegetables that make up a complex salad are always good for you, as long as they are dressed with a low or no fat dressing. But the secret to this salad is really in the smoked salmon. It’s excellent for you for a variety of reasons. The first is that it’s incredibly high in protein. This helps you to stay active during a long day.

Baby Spinach With Spicy Brown Mustard Vinaigrette Salad

I don’t know how many times I say to people “Save your money and make your own salad dressing!” The big brands we are so familiar with make a killing on charging consumers top dollar for their “Unique vinaigrettes.” When I ask consumers why they choose to buy rather than make a dressing, convenience is the word most commonly used. Well, if you’ll allow me to retort, this vinaigrette is easily made in mere minutes, for far less money, and most importantly better in taste! How’s that for convenience??
