What I didn't know…
Little Girl is diary free and loves green juice. We have a juicer and she makes her own, but sometimes life gets away from us and we buy some and recycle the bottle. Well, I recently found out, it's not that simple. While I was at the forum in Long Beach, some experts on recycling spoke to us and told us about some myths in the recycling world. One of them are these heat wrap labels that have been showing up on bottles. They are made out of plastic, but generally not the same plastic as the bottle itself and it makes them a nightmare to try and recycle. Gah! No. You can even see the recycle symbol on the bottom of the bottle but nothing about the wrap. To recycle both of these I took the wrap off which was not easy. It comes off in strips and since I didn't know if I could recycle it, I put it in the trash, ugh. In response, I went to both the Nestlé' and Suja Facebook pages and left photos and comments about how I was not happy with this packaging and asking them for more product accountability on the corporate level. Both companies responded quickly. I told them I would not be buying their products any longer until the packaging changed and that ideally I would love to see both of these products in infinitely recyclable glass. We shall see…
Wanna help? Go and leave comments too. If a lot of us do it, they will get the hint!!!! Teresa

| I love how the back of my car looks after grocery shopping. Six Green Bag Lady bags doing all the work. The growler was refilled with watermelon kombucha. That organic watermelon is divine! |
Heartbreaking.
Gorgeous.
I have 2 so I must be really healthy…
If you haven't seen this, you are totally missing out.
Welp, that's it for this week. I am finally done with all my crazy traveling this summer and looking forward to getting my house in shape, meeting with my sewing ladies on Sunday and spending time with my family. Big exhale. Enjoy the weekend my friends! XOXO--Teresa
Gluten Free Peanut Butter Balls
Do you stir your peanut butter in the mixer? I do. Maybe I'm the only one. I love buying PB that is only peanuts and salt nothing else added. The only problem is that the oil floats to the top and requires stirring when a new jar is open. This is a task that everyone in my family hates. A few years ago I gave up and dumped 3 jars of PB in my Kitchen Aid mixer, let it run for a few minutes and called it a day. It was SO much easier than trying to mix it in the jar with a knife. After I mix all the jars together, I put them in a large glass container for everyone's PB + J needs.
I was in the process of mixing this week and Little Man got all excited that I was making cookies. Is that all a mixer is good for? Instead, I decided to make up a healthy version of the PB balls my mom used to make. Her version had flour and powdered sugar galore in them. Here is what I came up with, they are super yummy!
3/4 cup oat flour
1/2 cup peanut butter, we used chunky, but creamy is great too
(or other nut butter, I want to do cashew next)
1/4 cup honey
8-10 ounces chocolate (we used this one)
Put all ingredients in a stand or hand mixer bowl and run until it makes a ball. Cover baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll dough in 1-1.5 inch balls, set on parchment. Melt chocolate in glass dish in microwave in 30 second increments stirring frequently. When chocolate is melted, use a spoon or a toothpick to dip balls into the chocolate. Optional toppings: shredded unsweetened coconut, nuts, sprinkles (we used these), more chocolate chips, etc. Enjoy!

Algalita Youth Forum
As I mentioned on Friday, Little Girl and I attended a youth forum hosted by Algalita on the California State University, Long Beach campus. 80 youths 15-25 years old were treated to 3 days of brainstorming, lectures, breakout sessions and innovation. I tagged along as the chaperone for my daughter, learned some interesting info as well. :) A couple weeks before the forum, I sent 130 bags to Cali for all the participants and chaperones. Below are some photos of happy peeps with their bags. Thanks Algalita for a great weekend. If you have a kid 15-25 who is interested in the problem of plastic in the ocean, I highly recommend you apply for the forum next year. Teresa
Some helpful links from the weekend:
Algalita (host of the forum)
BiomimicryLA (so fascinating!)
Beauty Counter (amazing mission!!!)
Bureo (they recycle fishing nets which are the worst offender to ocean pollution)
Gnarly Beach Cleaner (keeping beach cleaning fun and effective)
The Story of Plastic (full movie coming soon, make sure you see it!)
