Green Feast - Herby Hummus, Emerald Juice and Raw Lime Pie




"We keep the outside of our bodies clean, 
we take care of our hair and skin, 
we nourish it with conditioners and creams.... 
How clean and shiny are our Cells?
How clean and nourished is our blood?
How clean and healthy is the environment in our body?
What do we consciously do to insure that our cells,
our blood, our internal body environment is clean 
and nourished, just as the outside of our body is?
That is the essential question to ask ourselves 
if we want to stay healthy, fit, vibrant and happy."

from my ebook in progress - "Eat Right, Be Light"



Fresh Herbs from our garden :-)
Coriander, Mint, Basil and Thyme


Herby Hummus :

1 can of Chickpeas
2 tablespoons Tahini
2 tablespoons Pumpkin Seeds
2 cloves of Garlic
Juice of 2 Lemons
A big handful of Fresh Herbs
1/4 cup extra virgin Olive oil
Sea Salt to taste

Blend all the above ingredients in 
a Food Processor till well combined.

Garnish with :

A drizzle of Olive Oil
Orange Juice
Cayenne pepper

Serve with :

Romaine Lettuce instead of crackers,
Marinated Olives and roasted Red Peppers,
Oranges and Pumpkin Seeds


Green and Black Olives
marinated in a sauce of garlic,
sun dried tomatoes, sea salt,
and sweet paprika.....



Emerald Green Juice

Cucumber, Celery, Pear, Mint, Ginger, Lime Juice - Fresh, Light and Delish


 
Raw Lime Pie
Crust :

1 cup ground Almonds
1/2 cup dessicated Coconut
1 tablespoon Agave
a drizzle of Coconut Oil


Process all these ingredients together
till they stick together and form a ball.
You can even mix them with your hands.

Firmly press a layer of crust on the pie shells and keep aside.

Filling :

1 Avocado
1/2 Banana
2 tablespoons Agave
Juice of 3 Limes
1 tablespoon Coconut Oil

Process all the filling ingredients in a high speed blender
till smooth. Pour the filling into the pie shells and freeze
for a couple of hours and Serve.

Rich with good fats, beautiful combination of Avocado, Banana and Lime
One of my favorite Pies, tart and sweet at the same time :-)


I am on a Green Liquid/Juice Feast right now - today is Day 15,
so everything was happily devoured by Trevor and Saatchi,
apart from the Juice which was for me.



Spring is here - Alkalize and Go Green
Add one kind of Greens or another 
to whatever you cook, whatever you eat.
Green smoothies, green juices, 
green vegetables and fresh green herbs!!!
Up your daily Green intake
and fill yourself with Vitamins, Minerals
Antioxidants and Nutrient Dense True Foods


Keep it Simple. Be Creative.
Taste and Play. Find your Own Way.
