Brock demonstrates various ways to use a Neti Pot (only one of them being the correct way).
Neti Pots have been used by yoga practitioners in India for hundreds of years. The practice of nasal irrigation (Neti) cleanses the energy channels and balances your left and right hemispheres. It is also an effective method to remove dust, pollen, and other irritants from nasal passages.

Gluten-Free Vegan Quinoa Loaf - Episode #299

See video

Brock makes an easy quinoa loaf from Ellen Jaffe Jone's book "Eat Vegan on $4 a Day", that works out to only $0.75 per serving! Delish! FYI: Ellen's pricing is based on pricing that's as accurate as she could calculate (more information on this in her book). But food prices vary worldwide and/or change from day to day. Her point is to show that you can save cash and still eat healthy.

Previously, Marta interviewed Ellen via Skype and talked all about her journey, and how a vegan lifestyle has helped her achieve terrific fitness goals.

See video

Marta makes a super-easy vegan chocolate mousse recipe. Perfect on cakes, crepes, cupcakes, muffins, or on it's own!

FYI: Marta checked the Thai kitchen website and couldn't find any information about the cans being BPA-free. An organic and BPA-free coconut milk that we've tried and liked is by Native Forest - might be harder to find but worth it!
