Lemon water

Lemon water is supposed to be good for your health, and it's also bit more refreshing than just water, but also not as unhealthy as soda or other sugared drinks. Most places i read to drink it warm (in the morning), but cold is probably more refreshing in the summer =p

So heres what you do:
Have a glass of water (warm or cold), and squeeze 1/4-1/2 lemon in it (or how you prefer it) and enjoy =D

You dont even have to use a juicing device, just squeeze the lemon =p I just used it to get out the rest of the juice from an almost empty lemon, but normally i just squeeze.

Oat milk

I decided to save some money and make my own milk since all the cheap milks taste like vanilla and it's not really that good with mushroom-vanilla sauce for dinner =p

Since i'm lazy, the choise fell on oat milk since that takes less than 5 minutes to make and is supereasy =p

I researched on internet and found a recipe here on how to make oatmilk, but they also add random stuff that would make it sweeter and stuff, and since i just wanted plain milk i simply skip them =p

So here is my simple recipe:
1 dl oats
5 dl cold water

Blend together in a blender for some minutes or so (i tried foodprocessor once, that didnt work as well as my blender xD) then seperate the oats from the water/milk, for example with a cheesecloth or something. I use this since that is what i have, it comes some more oats in my milk but i dont really care =p Then i put it in a tight container (tomatosauce glass or so xD) and store it in the fridge until i use it. I guess it survives some days in the fridge =p Remeber to shake the container before using, because it becomes seperated =p

The leftover oats i eat with some sugar and cinnamon btw =p but you can also use it in baked stuff or possibly skip seperating them =p I didnt really try drinking this milk so i have no idea what it taste like either xD For drinking i guess some sweetener would be nice to have in =p

Warning: When heated, it will get thicker, so i dont need to add maizena to my sauce to thicken it for example =p But if you arent supposed to make a thick warm milky thing i guess it would be smarter to use something else xD I'm curious what the result would be if i made cocoa with it or so @_@ maybe chocolate pudding!!! =D

Pink/purple stuff

One of the first things i saw when i came back to Norway was that mom had kale in the garden. I was like wtf xD I had been reading about other people searching everywhere for kale, and i find it in my garden, very nice surprice!! ^.^

Here is a pic i found when i searched on ecosia for kale:

She also has other greens and berries in the garden =D For example beetroot that i have been experimenting a bit with lately.

Pic that i found on ecosia of beetroot:

I like to color stuff, so i thought; Why not add it in food!

Here is why:

Before: Looking nice and pink ^.^

After: Me disappointed =(

So i guess it's best to use in raw stuff, like smoothies ;)

This one is made with 2 bananas, 1 apple, 1 orange, 2 leafs of kale, and 0,5 beetroot.

The muffins is this recipe + 0,5 beetroot or so.
Btw the taste changed a bit, but neither to the worse nor to the better, it was just a bit different xD

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?

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€)

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.

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

Smoothie2

Today i made another smoothie, with a bit different ingredients, so i thought i would post it ^.^

The stuff i used is: 2 bananas, 1 apple, 1 orange, frozen red currants (rips), ice cubes, water

The result was pretty sour, but yummy xD

Smoothie

Yesterday i wanted smoothie, so i made it =p

In this smoothie i added 2 ripe bananas, 1 orange, some frozen blueberries (maybe 1 dl or so), some flax seed and some ice cubes for coldness =p It was very thick, but yummy ^.^ I kinda wanted to put apple in it too, but i was too lazy xD I think some more liquid in it would be good too, so it would be more "drinkable" =p

Smoothie is handy since you can add what you want/have in it =D I always use bananas in them though =p
