Teczcape-An Escape to Food

Occasionally, when things get too perfect, it may not be too good since it becomes too artificial. But if it is naturally perfect, then it is ok.

This juice is not as smooth (appealing) as commercial juices. Chunky because I did not filter the juice blend and discard the fibrous residue of the fruits after blending them in my Ninja Master Prep. I bought The Ninja Master Prep, three months ago from Costco. It was placed side-by-side the Magic Bullet but I recalled the Ninja Master Prep recommendation from Rasa Malaysia some time back, and decided to go with the expert. ^o^ . No regrets since I have been using my ONLY blender (cum food processor) to make fresh fruit (and veggie) smoothies. To me, smoothie makes it easier for me to adopt raw food as part of regular diet.


What did I make this time? Appcantacarelyorarasp Juice! Try pronouncing that! Ha ha....
I use: Apple (in season right now!). Cantaloupe (almost out of season soon). Carrot. Celery. Orange. Frozen raspberries.

The last ice popsicle this summer?

For me, personally, these kale ice pops (popsicles) are better than kale chips. I usually make smoothie out of kale and other fruits but decided to make some yogurt-based kale ice popsicles one day.

This is a slight deviation from Dr. Oz Green Monster Drink.  What did I use (or deviate):

Cook's Note: Learn to read your yogurt label. Make sure the major components in your yogurt are Milk and Live Cultures. I do not like aspartame (and/or other sweeteners) in my yogurt. Honey is ok but other sweeteners, preferably not. Also, I do not like low-fat dairies (low-fat milk taste like water! don't you think so?). I enjoy my whole milk and plain whole milk yogurt. :)  oops!

A Wheatgrass Tray. Raw food for living.

Caught sight of this at nearby grocery store one day and just attempted to get it. Impulsive shopping. Ha. The only thing coming to my mind is to juice it or ...maybe...smoothie it?

Wheatgrass 小麦草 contains a wide range of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, essential fatty acids and enzymes. It cleanses and builds your blood (detoxification), fights infections; and has other benefits that, well....the grass offers.


Smoothie of the Day: Cantaloupe, Mango, Radish, Kiwi, Wheatgrass, Yogurt, Milled Flax Seeds (optional)

And talking about cantaloupe, my Cantaloupe Roast Cornish Game Hen recipe won myself a $60 CSNStores gift certificate at Momgateway Blog. Thank you, Momgateway and the judges. It is like - I have so many things I wanted to buy before winning this voucher; but now I have this gift code, I don't know what to buy! Oh...Shopping!

And my smoothie trail continues...
