Natural Eating
Forget about deprivation diets as the road to health on your yoga retreat...at Bali Goddess we will introduce you to a whole new approach to enjoying food while detoxing and rebalancing your body and delighting your taste buds.
Our guests' dining experience while on our yoga retreat has been such a highlight, that it has often been joked that we should be called 'gourmet goddess' retreats!
Our food philosophy is simple – we provide our goddesses with exquisitely tasty whole food meals prepared in our own kitchen using the freshest ingredients and a whole lot of love!
Bali Goddess's focus is on freshness and flavor - layers of flavor. It starts with the ingredients, such as locally grown organic greens for our salads, plenty of sustainable wild seafood and the whole concept of ‘free-range’ anything appeals to us.
Each ingredient in the food is evaluated and only included if full of nutrients to sustain and energize you for your day. The quality of the ingredients included in recipes and the delight and passion of the kitchen staff create the amazing cuisine that Bali Goddess guests rave about.
Our food philosophy is based around the belief that Mother Nature knows best. Low human intervention food [Low HI], where the food has undergone no or minimal changes from its place in nature to your plate. For example, a piece of sweet potato, on your plate may have been steamed or roasted but is still recognizable as a sweet potato the way it came from the Earth. Too many foods today have lost this simple yet essential philosophy.
A Bali Goddess experience allows guests to re-evaluate their relationship with food and to experience and learn about the meaning of true nourishment.
