No More Boring Salads


What do you do if you have several days worth of salad ingredients in your fridge or your garden has an abundant supply and, you start to feel that I’m-so-bored feeling coming on? It is not cool to waste food even if it is the same as the last meal. So you need a range of dressing options to choose from – not the pretty frock type but the edible kind.  With a different raw dressing each time you could create a completely new taste and never notice the similar salad ingredients from the meal before.

Here’s a salad dressing with taste combinations you may not have tried before.

Cinnamon Vinaigrette
½ c cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil or hemp or avocado
2 T balsamic or apple cider vinegar
1 T agave nectar or maple syrup or raw honey
½ t cinnamon
¼ c fresh basil
½ t Himalayan or celtic salt

Mix in blender on low speed. Check seasoning and drizzle over salad or coleslaw. Adding grated or chopped apple and raisins to the salad bowl would compliment this dressing. Also suits the stronger tasting greens such as rocket (arugula) and spinach.

Spring is coming!

Spring is coming! Join us with a Spring Clean Detox and feel as bright and gorgeous as those fabulous daffodils waving around in the gardens. Cleanse your body, detox your liver and get ready to leave winter behind and face a new you!

Preparation week starts 5th September for the 21 Day Green Smoothie Detox. Included in the program are complete menu planners and shopping lists: 7-day Transitional Prep Menu Planner with alkalizing cooked food recipes and the 21 day Cleansing Menu Planner.

You also get daily email support, access to Private Community forum, five instructional tele-seminars with Q & A. An e-Journal is also supplied.

A group of gals did this detox in autumn to set us up nicely for winter. So if you missed that one and would like to join us again then click on the Spring Clean Detox.

Feel free to tweak the detox to suit your life. I don’t like celery so I downsized the amount. You may need to adjust fruit and vegetables to fit with what is available for you. If you are pregnant or breast feeding I would suggest keeping some fats (nuts, oils) and cooked food in your program.

Remember as with the seasons, spring surely follows winter so, if winter reflects your personal life right now then be assured that new growth will come and the sun will shine again. After all, life is not healthy and balanced if it is always summer. Winter has its place, too.

In health!

Christine

Newsletter to Become Blog


Today I am starting a change over from a newsletter that comes out every so often to a blog (small newsletter) that will be weekly. If I have something that I can't wait to tell you then you might strike lucky and get two blogs a week. If a blog isn't what you want then please go ahead and unsubscribe, but do give me a chance for a few weeks. I'm sure you'll find it as good as any newsletter I've written, only smaller.

Smoothies are standard fare in my house.I have a general guide to ingredients; some standard and others dependant on what's in the cupboard, fruit bowl or fridge/freezer.For the sake of those of you who need to be inspired or are just plain nosey, here's what I had. Frozen bananas, cherries and the last of the Omaha organic blueberries. A small handful of almonds, a generous tablespoon each of ground linseed, maca and mesquite powder. I picked a handful spinach from the garden and a teensy bit of coriander (it's very strong!) from one of my herb pots. A dollop of raw honey and raw milk (dairy) as my liquid. Whizz, whizz in my vita-mix resulting in a gorgeous colour and, a yummy and filling lunch. It kept me going all afternoon till dinner time.

Today I was reminded that my friends need a reminder every so often to make the most of a smoothie. Why just have a banana and kiwifruit when it could be so much more! Take advantage of tossing in greens that can't be tasted, superfood powders that add some zoom to your nutrition and what ever extras you fancy. Make your smoothie more of an orchestra than a quartet! Quartets sound sweet and have their place but an orchestra is just magic.
