Bananas and peanut butter are such good buddies. Blended up is a protein-potassium packed way to start your day. Frozen bananas make this cold and creamy lusciousness. If you do not already have frozen bananas, chunk one up in small bits and toss in the freezer for at least 5 minutes. Any kind of milk will do, almond is especially nice if you want to avoid dairy. Flax adds a boost of fiber, good omegas and an interesting grainy texture, but is totally optional.
Are mornings hectic? Need a quick lunch with pantry items rather than another granola bar- try this! We won’t torture you with too many instructions, just slap these yummy things together as you whimsically enjoy.
This simple lemon dressing is a staple in our home whenever lemons are abundant. The method of pressing the garlic into the salad bowl was taught to my mother by a French family friend and it adds the perfect essence of garlic. It will thicken slightly if you whisk in the olive oil slowly while whisking to emulsify it. If that all feels like too much work, mince up the garlic and place all of the ingredients in a jar and shake into goodness.
Heavenly basil & lemon make a simple blended dressing. To make the color last longer and brighter, blanch the basil leaves briefly and plunge in ice water. Otherwise, keep it simple by just blending these ingredients and using immediately. Blending extra-virgin olive oil can sometimes cause the flavor to be bitter. That is why a neutral oil is recommended. If you prefer to use olive oil, blend the ingredients without it and whisk it in slowly afterwards.
Roasted beets can be done in advanced and kept on hand for an easy sandwich packed with nourishing flavor. The bacon makes it more like a BLT, but is an entirely optional in our home. Make this gluten-free with your favorite GF bread.
