( Gluten Free ) Pumpkin Smoothie!




Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. Its warm during the day and cool at nights. Nature seems to be slowing down a bit, preparing for the long winter nights. I also love watching the leaves change colors, picking apples, and carving pumpkins. My kids are really into pumpkins and really, what's not to love ?

 Pumpkin are very nutritious and they make a wonderful base in a smoothie! I used my leftover pumpkin puree to make this smoothie.

Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup of almond milk or coconut 
- 1/2 cup organic milk 
- 1/2 cup frozen fruits (pineapples/apples/pears/bananas) 
- 1/2  pumpkin purée
- 1 T grounded chia seeds
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon ( to taste ) 
- 1/4 tsp vanilla 
- Sprinkle of nutmeg
- Maple syrup to sweeten if you wish! 

1-2-3 Step:

To make the smoothie, add milk and ingredients to a blender. Drop in the frozen fruits and blend until you get the consistency you'd like! You can add more milk or yogurt as needed. You can sprinkle some nutmeg before serving! 

Voilà!

Raw beet & zucchini salad






If you are an avid beet lover this salad is for you! Its sweet & refreshing, my girls love it. Beets are high in many many vitamins and minerals. They are a natural tonic for the liver and can prevent various forms of cancer. Beets also contain betaine, which is used in certain treatments of depression. It also contains trytophan, which relaxes the mind and creates a sense of well-being, similar to chocolate! I bet you didn't know beets are also nature's Viagra? Seriously. Beets were used by the ancient Romans as an aphrodisiac... and today science say that beets contain high amounts of boron, which is directly related to the production of human sex hormones. Interesting!!!

" Beets are so concentrated, nutritionally speaking that many natural vitamins are derived from them. Dr.Bruce recommends eating a few spoonfuls of beets per day - either raw, fermented or cooked - as a sure method of ingesting adequate vitamins and minerals on a regular basis and as a way of detoxifying the body as well...
