Banana & Nectarine Smoothie

We have some fruit trees in our garden, and the nectarines are ready for munching....sweet, juice, organic nectarines, yummy. :D  So I thought I'd try a smoothie with them, and it turned out really good.

3 bananas
3 nectarines
1/2 cup rice milk
3 tbs ground flaxseeds

Blend together and enjoy!  Makes 2 medium - large & thick smoothies.

Garden Salad with Feta & Mushrooms

I like to make this as a side-dish or as dinner if we've had a big lunch or late lunch that day.  It doesn't matter how much of what you throw it, so just use your discretion:

Salad:
mixed lettuce leaves
tomatoes
celery
cucumber
raw sliced white mushrooms
green pepper
plain feta cheese
sunflower seeds
pumpkin seeds

Dressing:
olive oil
himalayan crystal salt

Mix together all the salad ingredients, drizzle over some olive oil & sprinkle some salt and mix until everything is coated.  Mmmm. :)

Colourful Coleslaw

This is my new favourite version of coleslaw salad. :)  Not only because it tastes yummy, but also because it's so colourful and pretty. :D

I didn't measure the ingredients this time, but it went something like this: (it doesn't really matter how much of what you put in...)

2 1/2 cups chopped purple cabbage
2 cups grated carrot
1/2 large green pepper, chopped (add more if you like, this is just all I had in the fridge)
+- 1 cup tangy mayonnaise mixed with 20 drops liquid stevia (add more if you'd like it sweeter)
handful raisins
handful chopped walnuts

1.   Mix all ingredients (except mayo mixture) together in a large bowl.  Pour over mayo and mix until everything is coated.
2.   Refrigerate until ready to use. 

I forgot about sunflower seeds, so you can add a small handful of those as well if you wish - it's always nice to cram as many beneficial nutrients as you can into a dish. :)

This salad is also very alkalizing (besides the mayo and the walnuts).
