So in love with mustard

'Spring it on' smoothie made by Lucy aka SmoothieGirl. An effervescent high note wonder. I was so in love with this mustard coloured table. And how beautiful was this day with it's warm silky air?

Really not hungry smoothie

Last night and this morning I made two very similar smoothies. They
were light, easy to drink and nutritious.
--
4-5 leaves of sorrel
Big handful of chickweed
1 banana
3-4 tbs of organic coconut cream (not raw)
1 cup of water
--
Milk thistles, nettles and broccoli leaves
1 banana
3-4 tbs coconut cream
1 cup of water

-
Yesterday i ate mostly parsley and raw carrots and wasnt particulary
hungry. I think my body is facilitating a subconscious detox. I found
put yesterday that parsley stems have a similiar affect to chewing
gum. They are really fiborous and a mission to chew through, but
stimulate saliva and digestive enzymes and give your jaw the workout
it misses through having too many smoothies.

* I am typing this post on my phone while riding on the bus, a man
just got on with a trolley and big sack full of freshly harvested
nettles. He must have picked them from down by the Merri Creek
somewhere, I wonder what he is going to make with that many nettles?
Perhaps I should have a nettle party soon, my patch is getting a little
out of control.

Tam's delicious Coconut Cacao Cheesecake

Yellow noodles

I wish you could see how fluro coloured these yellow noodles are.

Steam sweet potato, then add coconut oil, pink salt, lots of chopped green cabbage, and fresh tumeric paste. When done add some desicated coconut and lemon juice to taste and your favorite rice stick noodles.

Super great textured icecream

Sometimes you enter your kitchen with a desire in mind, to make a pie for instance. You are little unsure about the exact flavour and composition of this, pie, you are also not sure if you have all the ingredients required though you are not following an exact recipe. You launch yourself into this venture, and in the beginning you have a vision that you are making a pie crust and a pie filling to achieve this pie desire. As you progress along this pie making process it becomes evident that these two parts really need each other but not in the way that you expected. The crust and filling wish to be truly entwined, and suddenly, unexpectingly you have icecream with the most incredible texture.

1 tbs coconut oil melted

1 tbs raw honey

2 tbs black tahini

Some amount of hempseed protein, I used about a cup

The other half of the flesh from the fresh Thai coconut 

(previously seen in milk thistle smoothie)

2 frozen bananas

Milk thistle coconut smoothie

I haven't been overly into the Thai drinking coconut craze, mostly because of the very high food miles and very low price (indicating non fair trade). I know they are delicious and so so very good for you, but so are lots of things, and this isn't the tropics. But sometimes you do these things, and you buy a coconut from the supermarket for $1.78 and you celebrate and rejoice and really enjoy the choice you've made.

Lots of freshly harvested milk thistles
Fresh coconut water and half of the flesh
A banana
And then add more greens - young cos lettuce, parsley and spicy rocket
until flavour is balanced.



To my good fortune Lex turned up and happily drank half of this smoothie, the celebration of mystical far away things is better when sharing
