SYNTAX ERROR

Yes, it happened..... computer got sick................ we don`t know yet if all the info on the harddrive is still there...... So, I`ll take a breather from blogging and WILL come back - whenever the apple is ripe and running again.

And - always remember - to BACK UP.

As far as food matters - I`m mostly doing energy soups and smoothies at the moment. And - I`m off doing a raw food course during the weekend!!! SO excited. Check out the link: raw-food.no

For now - hope you all have a beautiful autumn. Ha de!

Sun and smoothie

Lots of sun today!!! WOHOOOO!! The sun is like a nutrient - an essential nutrient. We just NEED it.


Misty and cloudy in the morning.... but then, the sun came up!


And today - felt like using all the kale (grönkål) I found in the shop the other day. So, first of all - yes, you guessed it - green smoothie. Today, think I just had some bananas and maybe an apple + some kale =


Real nice. And then - just because I felt like it - some chocolate pudding! The million dollar question is: how do you take a nice photo of chocolate pudding???? This phot didn´t turn out very nice anyway.... but I promise, banana, avocado, cacao and carob = heaven.


Then, put some of my kale in a salad. Gave it a good massage with sea salt and olive oil first - but, I don´t know.... I´m not a big fan of kale salads..... it´s nice in smoothies... but, salads.... I don´t know. I did enjoy the savoy cabbage though. Just like the kale, savoy belongs in the Brassica oleracea family - so, they are closely related, but the taste is a bit different. But, both are super hero foods - with lots of antioxidants...


...throw some algeas, apple, tomato and spinach in.... And dressed it up with some dijon mustard! A nice lunch.

Now - evening.... and it looks like the rain is back. Well, we got one sunny day - made me happy.

Have a nice weekend! /A

Green smoothie revisited :)

Am I boring?? Is it much fun seeing photo after photo with green smoothies?... Well, I´m sorry, but it´s just what I live on right now - green smoothies! Simple, delicious, quick, satisfying.... and just the best. Today, I put 2 bananas, 1/2 pineapple and a few large leaves of kale (grönkål) in the blender:


This smoothie would probably be real good as a juice too, without the bananas.


So good. And, not too sweet, probably because of the powerful taste of kale.

But, the best thing of all today: NO RAIN! :) So exciting to see the sun. It´s getting real cold though. Perfect time to start using more kale. Hmm, maybe I´ll put together a cabbage salad tonight.... will be nice.

Have a happy Thursday! /A

Green green smoothies

Green green smoothies :) ....just love them. Right now, I´m pretty much living on green smoothies, energy soups and a bit of fruit. And the combination apple, nectarine, clementine, spinach and water = success:



Came home and made green smoothies for dinner, breakfast and lunch tomorrow. So easy. And when you´r working and its raining and you come home late.... it´s just the most easiest thing ever to put together, and it tastes SO good.
My lunch soup for tomorrow: zucchini, tomatoes, avocado, apple, spinach, nutritional yeast, tamari, dried cilantro (koriander)...and water. Mix it up! Beautiful soup - but yeah, missing the sprouts.... :( And the dulse.....Not even any alfa-alfas to buy in the shops.... Anyway, spinach is ok.

Now - will try to get warm, and the hop into bed. Have a nice Thursday to you all! /A

Seriously green strawberry smoothie

Serious - this green smoothie tasted JUST LIKE strawberries. Just like a strawberry smoothie!! So funny. Ingredients (just sort of left overs):
  • 1 ripe nectarine
  • 1 Norwegian apple
  • 1 large clementine
  • 1 large bunch green baby spinach

Mix it up and SMELL - I couldn´t believe it! It smelled like a real strawberry treat!!! Have to try it again and see if it can be repeated. Try it you too and report!

C u soon. /A
