More smoothie xD

Starting to be extremely many smoothies on the blog lately xD

This one is without vegetables hehehe =p

Ingredients that i used:
2 (small) bananas
2 small pressed oranges
2 kiwis
1 apple
5-10 frozen strawberries
Some icecubes
1 glass of water

It's also weird, i think im getting into a cycle where i sleep 6 hours, then 10 hours, then 6 hours etc xD I prefer the 6 hours since i get more of the day then, but only if i feel well-rested =p

Reminds me of some days ago when i had a cycle of ouchy throat one day, then next day not ouchy, then the day after it was ouchy again, then the day after that it was not ouchy xD

Wonder what next cycle will be xD

Anyone else got strange cycles?

My food processor/blender

When i moved to Belgium, one thing i wanted to take with me was the food processor of my parents (they said i could have it xD), but it's kinda risky to take it on the plane so i bought a new one here instead.

The one i bought was this one: Philips HR 7625/70 from Vanden Borre for 55€.

It has both a food processor and blender, which is pretty handy, and it is cheap ^.^ (i like cheap stuff =D

So far it has succeeded in all i tried to do. It can also go in dishwasher which is nice =p I didnt try to make nut-butter yet though, so im curious if it will handle that but we will see =p I have made banana-icecream with it atleast which worked very well, and smoothies, soup, chopped boiled broccoli and more =p I usually only use the blades of the food processor though, but maybe i should test out the rest of the equipments also one day =p

So if anyone is looking for a cheap food processor and blender i reccommend this one! ^.^

Some veggie-days coming up! =D

 This info is found here: Wikipedia FTW!

Friday 30. september is the "Hug a Vegetarian Day" so everyone go hug some vegetarians =p i hope i get some hugs aswell xD
Saturday 1. october is the "World Vegetarian Day" so i encourage everybody to be veggie that day! =p
Me and my bf will celebrate the day by going to Loving Hut, which is 100% vegan ^.^
The whole month of october is the "Vegetarian Awareness Month" so you can try to do the whole month as veggie/vegan (or the rest of your life too which is even better =D)
Sunday 2. october is the "World Farm Animals Day". The day to remember all of the animals that suffer and are needlessly killed by the food-industry.
Theres also some more days/weeks in october that you can read about on wikipedia.

Then 1. november is the "World Vegan Day", so i hope all will be vegan for (at least) a day then ;)
Here is own Wikipedia site for World Vegan Day, and here is link to the Vegan Society.
It's cool its on the date of 1/11/11 this year =p

Of course the best is to be vegan every day ;p

And don't forget about Meatless Monday (or meatless everyday in my case ^.^)

Banana chocosoymilk

I found a chocosoymilk at Lidl made by Soywell, so i bought it to test it out. It wasn't the best chocosoymilk i have tasted (i think Naturli' is the best, and Alpro has the 2nd best chocosoymilk =p). The chocosoymilk from soywell tasted kinda a bit watery, and they could have added more chocolate in it i think to get a deeper taste xD

So, i figured i would "spice" up the taste a bit, so i took 1 banana and about 2 dl chocosoymilk in the blender and blended until it was well-mixed. Very much improvement of the taste! =D Kinda reminds me of something i had when i was younger, i can't remember if it was medicine or candy though haha xD Maybe both =p

Anyways, taste got perfect now, so maybe i should buy more of the chocosoymilk to mix with bananas =p Soywell is kinda cheaper than alpro ^.^ (less than 1€)

Broccoli burgers

I had some broccoli since it was cheap and since i wanted to make the broccoli burgers that i found on veganmisjonen her blog. This is a great way to get rid of leftover rice and broccoli (i mostly have problems with leftover broccoli that sometimes turns yellow/brown xD)

Here is the link to the recipe that i found on veganmisjonen her blog (norwegian): Broccoli burgers

For the english speaking people who follow my blog, here is a short version:

The ingredients i used was:
ca 1 small broccoli or half a big broccoli around 200-300 g, steamed (or boiled) and food-processored into small pieces (i tried in the blender first time, that didnt work too well xD)
ca 2 dl boiled rice (i think it is about 1 dl dry rice)
1 dl oatmeal
1 stock cube
Some oil
Some flour to make it stick better together

So i just mixed the ingredients, and shaped it into burgers and fried them =p

The first time i boiled extra much rice (with a stock cube in) to have next to the burgers as well, the 2nd time i used leftover rice for it.

The picture is from the first time i made them, the 2nd time i just ate them like snacks xD

The coolest part is ofc that they are green! =D

Fresh pressed orange juice!

I got one of the cool objects to juice oranges with, so recently, i've been juicing a lot of oranges!
I prefer juicing eating-oranges (stonefree and more pulp) and not the juicing-oranges (with stones and little pulp, and annoying smell/taste on the skin =s).
I always add the pulp into the juice, so with eating-oranges, it becomes "pulp with juice" while with jucing-oranges it is normal "juice with pulp".
Edit: now i prefer the juicing oranges since too much pulp in the other ones, but here in Norway i think they only got eating oranges.

Before i came to Belgium i didnt even know there were different types of oranges! Maybe since i didnt buy oranges in Norway, since i didnt like eating them (i always got covered by juice then, and it was boring to peel) and i didnt have a cool juicer =p

Green smoothie2

Made another green smoothie now =p This one i wanted to drink so i added water =)

Ingredients:
1 orange
1 banana
2 hands of fresh spinach (although mine was out of date so not that fresh, but got them for half price xD)
Water, for exampel 0,5-1 glass, im not sure howmuch i used.

Fun fair

This evening i went to fun fair in Leuven =p Looked like they had a lot of fun attractions there! =D They also had big, nice fireworks!! =D I love fireworks! =D I didn't do any of the attractions they had though, since I'm trying to save some money, but it's fun to just walk around and take pictures aswell =)

Green chips (wasabi)

Bought some of the wasabi chips they had in promotion on Lidl (belgium). They are sooooo cool!! =p Green and spicy like hell! Once i ate too much, it felt like it would come flames out of my nose xD So if you don't like spicy stuff, this aint something for you =p

Sour smoothie ;(

In today's smoothie i added lemon so it's very sour =p I also added basil, so most of the taste is lemon+basil xD

Ingredients:
1 banana
3 (frozen) strawberries
1 ball of frozen spinach
1 orange
1 lemon
1 carrot
0,5 red bell pepper/paprika
2 cauliflower florets
Some basil leaves (maybe 5-10?)

Green smoothie

I like to have healthy smoothies, so i often add some ingredients that arent normal to add =p This one taste very neutral and un-specified (dunno if thats a good or bad thing xD) but i like the color of it! =D It is again very thick consistency, so if you decide to make it and want it more liquid then add more liquid =p

Ingredients i used:
4 (frozen) strawberries
1 frozen chopped spinach ball-thingy
1 orange
1 banana
1 pear
2 pieces of cauliflower (dunno what its called)
4-5 cm cucumber

Blend it and tadaaaa: you got something green drinkable (or eatable by spoon again xD)

Smoothie =p

This smoothie i have for breakfast today =p Very yummy! And nice fluffy consistency (i actually eat it with spoon rofl, since it reminds more about yoghurt than liquid in consistency).

Well heres the ingredients i used, but you can use different if you want ofc! And if you want to drink it instead of eating it with spoon, then add more liquid =p
5 (frozen) strawberries
1 carrot
1 orange
1 banana
1 apple

Then just blend it all together in a blender or foodprocessor (i actually have blender now so i did it in blender ^.^) and enjoy =D
