Raw Cacao Banana Smoothie

Ending my four-day juice fast yesterday, this morning started with a Raw Cacao Banana Smoothie and Green Juice (Kale and Red Grapes). Easing back into solid food with smoothies.

Sometimes, I make my smoothies rather "rich" in texture almost like a pudding so that I can feel I'm actually eating a meal and not "drinking" a meal.  Yes, I used a spoon to "eat" my smoothie! ;p

Ingredients:

(2 servings)

5 Bananas (to thicken the smoothie. If you want to make a pudding, use an "avocado")

1 spoonful of Cacao Powder

1/4 cup (or less if you want richer smoothie) Almond Milk

Direction:

Blend the above ingredients and add any toppings you like. I added Strawberries and Blueberries. <3

Have a wonderful day! :)

Cooling Cucumber-Green Fruity Juice

Happy Summer! Cooling off with "Cucumber-Green Fruity Juice!"

Ingredients:

1 Cucumber

1 Green Pear

1 Kiwi

1 small bunch of Green Grapes

Squeezed Lime Juice (1/4 lime)

Direction:

Juice the above fruits and cucumber. (I used all organic fruits and cucumber, so I left the nutritious "skin" on.)  Add squeezed lime juice. Serve! <3

Enjoy the cool summer with juicing! Cheers! :)

Hello Summer ~~~!! Cheers!! (Back To The Basics with "Pink Juice!")

Summer is here! Time to start off with a nice juice fast. Cleansing "toxins" out of my system.

Usually, I go for 3-4 days. Not sure how long this time. Could be just a day, the usual 3-4 days or even a week. I will feel it in my body when it's the right time.

Always good to go "Back To The Basics!"  Feel good!

Here's this morning's refreshing "Pink Juice!" (watermelon, melon, cantaloupe and pineapple)

Cheers~~~!!! ;)

Banana Sushi "Caterpillar Roll"

Spring is caterpillar season!  So, I got inspired to make a "Caterpillar Roll" sushi with banana & avocado for an early morning dessert! <3

YOU NEED:

1 Banana
1/2 Avocado
Crushed nuts ( I used roasted almonds and crushed them in food processor)
2 small blueberries (for eyes)
Thyme stems (for antennae)
Squeezed lemon juice (to keep the "caterpillar" from discoloring and to bring out the flavor in the Sauce)


SAUCE (substitute for "eel sauce"):

Honey, cacao powder and cinnamon  (you need a plastic squeeze bottle)



DIRECTION:

1. Pour lemon juice on banana first. Slice a halved avocado into thin pieces, and push it to lie flat. Soup the sliced avocado with a knife and place it on the peeled banana.

2. Use the plastic wrap to press the avocado pieces onto the banana so that they would stay stuck   together nicely.  Pour lemon juice on avocado after unwrapped.

3. Put the blueberry eyes (with "honey glue") on the caterpillar face, and stick the thyme stem antennae onto the caterpillar head.  Sprinkle the crushed nuts and decorate the "caterpillar" with the sweet sauce.

Nice and healthy "dessert sushi!"  :)

Enjoy your day! <3
