Mango & Persimmon Smoothie

March 20, 2018 by Ariel 1 Comment

I bought a pack of rock hard fuyu persimmons, a few days ago, thinking it would take at least a month before they start to softened. Surprisingly enough, they only took a few days leaving me with 10 ripen juicy and custardy persimmons to bake with. One of Max favourite way to start the day is with a fresh smoothie that is both sweet and filling so here we go!

The mango really balance the extreme sweetness of the persimmon while adding a little “zing” to it. The softened oats are there to add a silky texture and give you enough consistence to make it a perfectly filling way to start your day.

Hope you get to try it *^_^*

Dino Kale & Blueberries Smoothie

April 12, 2015 by Ariel 1 Comment

I only tasted Dino kale for the first time this year, in California, although I had kind of a “crush” on this adorable plant the second I saw a photo of it in one of the many seed nursery magazines coming to my old place.

From my past experience with the regular curled leaves version, growing kale is a lot of fun because it is easy to take care of and it will grow back years after years! Living in colder climate? that’s all right, Kale love chilly nights and some of them will even be fully happy with a little bit of snow. If you give it a big enough pot, you can easily grow it on your balcony, in the middle of the city. It will add joy to your landscape and feed you deliciousness for a really big part of the year.

Dino kale, when cooked, will remain sort of crunchy and can be easily replace any other types of kale/lettuce/spinach in your favourite dishes. Today, we’re featuring this incredible green in a morning smoothie to start your day the right way!

Bon matin! *^_^*
