I love my minty smoothie



Mint adds an instant lift to any smoothie that we make. My absolute favourite addition that gives a wonderful fragrance and a tingling freshness! Two glorious recipes:



Dragon Mintalicious
1 big bunch of greens (mustard, sweet potato, lettuce etc....)
1 big bunch of mint
1 lovely red dragon fruit
2 big bananas
Filtered water 2 cups


Avo-Mintalicious!
1 big bunch of greeeeeeeens
1 big bunch of mint
2 avocadoes
2 bananas
Filtered water 2 cups

Blitz in your trusty high powered blenda and viola
add in more sweetfruits and lessen the greens if you want to transit comfortably ;-)

Avocado Mango Salad with Miso Hawthorn Dressing

This must be my favourite salad - what can go wrong with creamy avocado and delectable thai honey mangoes? This is heavenly especially when you lay them on a bed of baby romaine and arugula.
Of course, the piquant miso and hawthorn vinegar dressing melds all flavours together. This is a satisfying meal and instant pick me up in terms of appetite.

Ingredients


A whole avocado sliced
A whole mango cubed
A bed of greens (arugula and baby romaine is best)
A handful of sprouted and dehydrated pumpkin and sunflower seeds

Dressing:

2 tbs of barley miso
2 tbs of EVO
4 tbs of hawthorn vinegar (made by soaking dried hawthorn in apple cider vinegar)

Bon appetite
