Berry Green Chia Pudding (Vitamin C infused)

Berry Green Chia Pudding (Infused with Camu Camu)

We all know snacks in between meals are important in the process of losing weight and keeping energy levels up throughout the day. But what essentially could be a healthy snack without the sugar content and list of ingredients in each container you buy at the grocery store? Well, by now we should all know that anything and everything raw and organic from the earth is essentially healthy and safe to consume.

This smoothie is infused with Vitamin C because of the Camu Camu powder which boosts your immune system. As a vegan I tend to use Spirulina a lot since it is high in antioxidant enzymes and high in Vitamin A (Beta Carotene.) You might also be wondering where I get my protein and calcium from. Well, Chia seeds are one of the best super foods out in the market that provide nutrients such as Omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, calcium, protein and antioxidants. Need I say anymore? Happy and healthy snacking to you!

Green Powerhouse Cleanse Juice

I thought of making this juice to cleanse my body from so much eating out lately. Even though most mornings I am able to prepare an organic juice or a healthy fruit salad, sometimes (at least once a week) I like to juice to cleanse my kidneys, liver and colon by consuming ample fiber, fruits and veggies. So, today I chose to first juice the cucumbers with my juicer to use as base for my smoothie. Continue reading →

Pineapple and Spinach Juice Experiment

Join me today to prepare some delicious Pineapple & Spinach juice.  I chose this combination because Pineapple is high in Vitamin C which helps me combat any airborne illness and therefore, boost’s my immune system. Spinach is high in Vitamin A which is involved in immune function, vision, reproduction, and cellular communication. Vitamin A also supports cell growth and differentiation, playing a critical role in the normal formation and maintenance of the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs. bullet will blend all your fruits and veggies to a nice smooth texture. I hope you enjoy the video and try this amazing mix at home!!!

Pineapple Pineapple

Although the season for pineapple runs from March through June, they are available year-round in local markets. This is one of my favorite fruits to boost my immune because it is super high in vitamin C. Pineapple is sweet, hydrating with a tiny bit of tart when fully ripened.  Best time to slice your pineapple is when it’s mostly brownish mixed with dark yellow and you are able to smell that sweet pleasant scent.

Avocado & Tomato Green Sandwich

Avocado & Tomato Green Sandwich

So the other day I was really hungry and I wanted something quick to eat.  All I had in my kitchen that day was one roll of bread, from the ones I buy at the fresh market (4 X $1.00). I also had a container of Hummus Spread, Arugula salad, spinach leaves, tomatos and my avocados, which by the way, were finely ripe.  Guess what I made myself to eat that day? That’s right,  I put it all together into a lovely and deliciously divine sandwich.  Some of you may be asking yourselves, “well, what about your protein Angela?”.  I must confess, because I am vegan, I get most of my protein from plants and veggies, it’s that simple!. Avocado itself is rich in protein and healthy omega fat.  I cut the sandwich in half because it was pretty filling and I saved the rest for my better half. ❤ ❤ ❤

Eat healthy if you want to feel, look and be healthy.
