Good health really begins with whole, plant-based "real" foods!
I just got this new device and I can’t stopped making noodles out of zucchini and yellow squash. I just so happen to love both of these vegetables, so I guess this makes it easier. I’ve been eating some raw and some steamed…I just can get enough.
The name of the device is the Joyce Chen 51-0662, Saladacco Spiral Slicer, White. Actually the noodles it creates are very thin and more like vermicelli, but enjoyable all the same and very easy to use. I just pick vegetables that are straight and not too big. Then I slice them in half and position in the middle of the slicer and crank the handle…really, it’s that easy.
Don’t the photos below look delicious? Top with any sauce or meat just like any other noodles.
I use this Spiralizer for larger noodles. It has three blade (size) options.
I decided to begin this morning with fruit. But after eating and orange and some grapes, I decided that I wanted more. So I put all of the following ingredients into the Vitamix and out came this delicious smoothie which was enough for two.
Ingredients: (Use frozen fruit for the best smoothie texture.)
1 handful of blueberries
1 banana
1/2 cup pineapple
1/2 cup grapes
(I got a jump start on my greens too!)
1/2 stalk celery
1 large leaf of kale
1 large leaf of romaine lettuce
Vitamix it for about 30 seconds.
Now in about 30 minutes I will move on to some more breakfast options. Note: I always eat fresh fruit at least 30 minutes before or 30 minutes after eating any cooked foods.
Homemade Larabars! A great snack without any processed sugar…only nature’s best!
Most Larabars are made using cashews, almonds and/or pecans plus dates and other fruits. The dates help the bar hold together because of their moistness. Dates are an excellent source of potassium and other important vitamins and minerals.
Ingredients:
Directions:
Pulse cashews and dates together in a food processor.
Shape into a bar and enjoy. It’s that easy and they are YUMMY!
