Wilted Green Lunch Smoothie

I am on a steady regimen of Vita-Mix smoothies. Lettuce, orange, and blueberries for breakfast, followed by some variation of the combo pictured here for lunch.
This one turned out great… for a bunch of veggies blended into a drinkable beverage, or as I prefer to call it, a healthy lunch smoothie.

There are no exact measurements here. Add more of what you like, but not necessarily less of what you don’t like! Don’t skimp on the greens!
  • a few broccoli florets
  • 2 carrots
  • 1/2 red pepper
  • 1 golden delicious apple
  • 10-15 beet greens, wilted
  • a handful of wheatgrass
  • a handful of sunflower sprouts
  • 3 frozen strawberries
  • 1/2 red beet
  • 1-2 cups water
Throw it in the Vita-Mix, turn it up to 10, then high, then enjoy. It’s good for you!

Wild Rice Milk

I usually make brown rice milk, so I decided to switch it up a little and make wild rice milk. I had a wild rice blend from the bulk section of Whole Foods and made it for another meal. Using 1 cup of the cooled, cooked rice and almost an entire container of water, I blended it on high in the trusty Vita-Mix for a few minutes.

Taste it. Add more water if it is too thick, and a little maple syrup if you’d like to sweeten it.
Enjoy a rice milk that lacks stabilizers, emulsifiers, canola oils, etc. Have you ever read those labels? I’d prefer to make it myself.
Store in the fridge for up to one week.

Simple Egg Chevre Scramble

I brought home my CSA veggies and the weekly share of 12 eggs, but had 12 eggs still in my fridge since we had been away the week before. This was an overload of eggs, so our only solution was to have eggs for dinner.
This is a simple dish: Eggs scrambled with sauteed red onions and Haystack Mountain Boulder Chevre, served with sauteed turnip greens and sliced tomato, drizzled with balsamic vinegar and a little olive oil.
Took 20 minutes, I think. I’m used to taking a lot longer in the kitchen than that! But, they starts in this meal are the farm eggs from Ollin Farms. Their color is so brilliantly golden, you’d think I added saffron threads. But no, it is au naturale.

CSA Veggies

This is what I brought home this week from the CSA with Ollin Farms. Lots of greens. Lots of healthy greens, carrots (which come with green tops), turnips (also come with green tops), chard, cabbage. Keeps me busy.
