Juiciness again! I started off the new year with an “omit the bad increase the good” detox, it all revolved around juicing, raw food, tons of veggies and green super foods, I didn’t take much supplement wise. I felt fantastic… that is after the first few days getting used to the lack of fast release starchy foods. After that I had a ridiculous amount of energy. I am easing my way into another one. I don’t eat much sugar or gluten but is out the window from today, and I won’t leave it back in for a month at least. So this juice is my “Cheers!’ (sound of bell chiming) “the detox begins!’

Little jar is the coconut kefir!

The lovely Denise brought me in some of her coconut water kefir today ( I gave her some of mine too, mine had gone a bit on the sour side- hers is nicer!).

  • A little bundle of wheatgrass (index finger to knuckle of thumb – size bundle…)
  • One organic unwaxed green apple
  • Quarter of an organic unwaxed lemon
  • A chunk of organic ginger (size of top little finger- keep in mind I have small fingers 🙂 )
  • The same size chunk of organic turmeric root
  • About 100ml (third of cup) of coconut water kefir to water kefir

I juice my apple, ginger and turmeric first. The reason being I find apples some times get stuck and the wheatgrass will push everything through once that goes in.

Add the wheatgrass a little at a time, I want to be nice to my juicer strain so it lasts.

Add the lemon. I do this last as it never gets stuck and it means I definitely am not missing out on any of the precious wheatgrass!!

Sweet, tasty, anti-inflammatory and packed full of crazy amounts of nutrients!!

grassy green and packed with good stuff!

This was a case of I have these things so I will eat them for dinner! It turned out lovely so I thought I would share.

This will make more than enough to serve two people.

  • Three cloves of garlic chopped
  • One white onion spiralized or chopped roughly
  • One carrot spiralized or thinly sliced
  • A bunch of purple sprouting broccoli- thick part of stalks removed. A “bunch” being what you can easily hold in one hand!
  • Mug of chopped curly kale – thick stalks removed
  • A mug or 240g of cooked puy, green or brown lentils. If preparing whole lentils from dry rem. they can take 45 mins to cook.
  • One avocado roughly chopped, half is for each person.
  • Black pepper – to taste
  • Small pinch of sea salt
  • Dash of coconut aminos
  • Dash of rice mirin
  • One teaspoon of dried oregano
  • Five or six leaves of fresh basil torn into strips. I tear because cutting with a knife bruises the leaves.
  • A dessertspoon of coconut oil
  • Optional: When serving sprinkle with a teaspoon of thinly cut roasted nori seaweed (one with no added nasty things e.g. sugar or msg )

So prepare your ingredients- washing, spirallizing and chopping.

Beautiful and seasonal- get it while you can

Start by melting some coconut oil on a medium high heat in a wok, and put your onions on to soften.

Add salt and black pepper and then the garlic.

Now start steaming your purple sprouting broccoli and kale together.

Add your oregano to your onions and after a minute add your lentils.

The puy lentils!

The puy lentils!

Leave it heat through and add your coconut aminos and mirin.

Add your spiralized or thinly sliced carrot.

The purple sprouting broccoli and kale should be ready to be added to the other ingredients. Add the basil and toss everything together.

If you have not already done so, cut your avocado in half and roughly chop it. Do NOT add this.

Portion out the servings and NOW mix in the avocado. If having the nori sprinkle a little on top of each one.

TaDa! Dinner.

kale- carrot- onions. Eating my colours :-)
