This smoothie is a just delicious. Berries are oh, so good for you and nothing beats a fruit smoothie on a warm day. This smoothie packs a punch of health nuggets such as: Vitamin A, Vitamin B1 and B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin K and Vitamin E. Minerals include Manganese, Potassium, Copper and more. And don’t forget antioxidants. This smoothie brings you plenty of those.

Berries are on the expensive side and I would love to say that I only buy the fresh and organic kind. But I can’t afford the organic ones.

Ouch. Or the fresh ones.

Double ouch.

2 Cups Blackberries
1 Cup chopped Pineapple
1/2 Cup Coconut Milk

Blend away, my friends! Quick, easy and it takes like 2 minutes. The best thing about using coconut milk is it makes the smoothie so creamy.  And you get good fats in your body too

This smoothie tastes great and I put in some raw egg for added protein. You, of course, can leave that out, it’s just something I like to do. Also, I only use organic farm raised eggs. I’m lucky enough to have an egg lady that I can get fresh ones from but you can also find organic farm raised brands in the supermarket. I know Milos Organic Eggs are a good one to use.

1 Cup Vanilla Yogurt
2 Organic Farm Raised Eggs
1 Cup frozen Blueberries
1 Orange
1.5 Cups of Pineapple — chopped

Drop all this in your … Read the rest

My new blender has been ordered, so it’s just a few more days until I don’t have to make my smoothie’s the poor man’s way! Hooray! But until then… here’s another yummy and easy to make smoothie.  For the fruit, I just used my Omega 8006 juicer to make it liquid and then I added it to my vanilla yogurt and stirred vigorously.  It was THAT easy.  Or, if you don’t have any fruit, simply use orange juice and pineapple juice and viola, you’re as good as gold — although it’s more healthy to use real fruit

A smoothie was in order; I needed a little pick me up.  But, woe is me, my blender is broken.  So I decided to improvise.  I used my Omega 8006 Juicer. I juiced all my fruits and then stirred in, vigorously I might add, the vanilla yogurt until it was nice a creamy.  It tasted awesomely tart and was perfect for my much needed afternoon snack.  Keep in mind that since I used my juicer, NONE of the fruits were frozen.  Frozen stuff doesn’t juice correctly!

The most time consuming part of this recipe is slicing the chicken, but it goes pretty quick if you use a sharp knife. This is one of my favorite things to make in the summer because it is light, relatively easy, and surprisingly flavorful. I would have to say it does not smell the best while cooking, but don’t let that deter you.

1 Tbsp coconut oil
1/2 large white onion roughly chopped
1 red, yellow, or orange pepper cut in chunks
2 Tbsp raw sugar
4 Tbsp high quality fish sauce
1.5 to 2 pounds chicken sliced in bite … Read the rest
