Catching up on the weekend - time sure flies when you are having fun. I finally bought some lemons so tried the Green Lemonade that Natalia promotes and it was quite good the recipe is kale, swiss chard or other dark leafy greens, cos lettuce, 2 apples, 1 lemon and a little ginger - I also added a cucumber. Alot of people are doing green smoothies at the moment where you blend the greens with some fruit and I think this can work well also but perhaps takes longer for the nutrients to absorb into your blood. I felt sated by the green lemonade for sometime. Later in the day I downed some luscious peaches, a banana and blueberries. Leafy salad with sprouts, shaved pumpkin, walnuts, sunflower seeds and pepitas with olive oil and lemon dressing. Sunday morning four of us visited the delightful Northey Street Organic Farm for the weekly Organic Market.
I just love filling my basket with fresh produce and was fortunate to pick up some kale, dandelion and chicory that had just been picked that morning at the farm for only $2 per bunch! I also found my favourite sprouts - sunflower sprouts (which I will soon be sprouting at home along with heaps of other grains and seeds), swiss brown mushies which I intend to marinate and some fresh almond paste which is a great snack! We enjoyed breakfast at Raw & Peace - sweet potato fritters with zucchini, carrot, red onion, walnut & flaxeed topped with chopped marinated tomatoes and cashew cheez - delicious! Then I popped a few figs I had just bought! I enjoyed a nice Sunday afternoon snooze after reading a chapter of the book we are reading at the moment - it's set in Botswana so of course now I want to go to Africa!
