Strawberry Banana Soft Serve and what I'm doing with my Veggies

Yesterday was our first portion from our CSA.  I am blessed to belong to two of them.  I received strawberries in my full share and more are expected next week from my other farmer.

We ate many of them, stems included.  Don't throw away the greens.  They are full of chlorophyll and other nutrients.  If you are not hard core like me, just toss them in your smoothie.

My daughter and I  had planned on making Banana soft serve today...but those strawberries were sitting on the counter so I tossed a few in....Yummy!!!

Here is the recipe:

Strawberry Banana Soft Serve

In Vita-Mix  

add in this order:

1/2 c. fresh almond milk

4 strawberries

4 medium frozen bananas broken up

1/2 t. vanilla 

begin blending at 2, then increase speed to 3 or 4 until four mounds appear.  stop your machine so that it doesn't overheat or melt your ice cream.  

This soft serve was absolutely the best!

you can use a food processor if you don't own a Vita-Mix.

Enjoy!

I have been getting lots of greens from my farmer over the last few weeks so I've been enjoying lots of green juices.  This is another way to get tons of micronutrients.

We received a leek in our share yesterday.  So I made some quinoa.

I made 2 c. of quinoa

then added

chopped leek

orange bell pepper

black pepper

lemon juice

Here is another item we were blessed with, asparagus

I water sauteed it with leeks and tossed in a few chopped collard leaves

My lunch

Kale &  Bean Salad 

(we also received kale in our share) 

asparagus

quinoa

Being part of a CSA is a great way to recieve load of healthy immune strengthening micronutrient rich foods.
