Healthy Or Happy EASY (somewhat) Wierd Recipes

Smoothies! Juices!

They both scream: HEATLHY! right?

I worked on an E-Book where I had to take photos of smoothies, lots of fruits and veggies.
I enjoyed the process. It is not as complex as shooting an animal or someone running, in the night. 

 here are some tips on how to do that: www.photographyblogger.net

Until then, here is what I found in my fridge, juiced it all up and called it:

 My Green Monster


I first wanted to have it as a smoothie, but the celery, won't cooperate, and spinach will become strings...  


((I don't enjoy the taste of celery, in any way shape or form... :/  idk why, i just DON'T))

[...but it's good for ya...]  blah blah blah :P



      A green apple    
     a bunch of spinach
a celery "roll", or how you call that? :)
a mango







I got about 1 liter- (4 cups) of it. I put half in the fridge for next day. 

Did not taste GREAT to me... so I had to FIX it. I dunked in a whole bunch of ice cubes.

I realized- if it's chilled, I can't taste it too much.

And because it did not taste GREAT to me... again.. I had to FIX it even more. I got a straw and "go to town" :))




And the leftovers, I've heard before people actually adding more stuff to it and using it in soups, casseroles, or baking.

I have tried a few times with CARROT JUICE leftovers- made a carrot cake. Great choice!

With this "Green Mess" I've put it in the ground for compost.  :)

Healthy Or Happy? EASY (somewhat) Wierd Recipes

 It's summer and ARI(d)ZONA is hott.

Air Conditioned is a must and big tall drinks with the umbrella- either way!




    This one was another healthy Monster:

                                                          PAPA-LEE Juice

 Sweet enough and tangy from the lemon.

Of course CELERY- (not a good friend of mine  :-P
The more I try these new fruits and veggies, the more I cut of off my "i like" list!  lol  Anyone else has this problem?  :))

Papaya-- hmm... Where is your flavor?  Where is your texture?  All you have going towards you is the amazing ORANGE color- which I adore.  You can comment on this as I had to be a giggly teenager at heart and take a photo of it cut. It is funny!!!

<-----------        L O  L







To keep it simple,
check the photos for what
I've used in this JUICE!


Broccoli
1 kiwi
lemon juice
papaya- what you see cut in the bowl
celery




If it's not sweet enough, add HONEY!

You can never go wrong with honey.

If it's not smooth enough, add WATER!

You can always sub it with milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or even tea.

Adding other bottle juices, defeats the purpose of eating/drinking healthy!


You can even leave a piece of CELERY out, and dip it in the end in the juice glass. It will give it a fancier look! :)

I kept taking photos of this combination. I'd like to create a dress with these colors. :)




Health Benefits:

Papaya

CELERY

187 % of Vitamin C- LEMON



                                                      LEFTOVERS!

Again- you can GO GREENER! And either put it in the COMPOST pile, or



add it to any meal. Saute, broil, fry, bake.  Just not by itself.

Add spices, salt, maybe meat, make it a soup...


Let me know how it goes.


Don't be afraid to do it!
