Smoothie #1: Paleo Kale Avocado Banana

I have always been curious about the emerging trend over the internet regarding the Paleo smoothie drinks. I have decided to let my doubts get the best of me and try it instead.

A couple of try-outs didn't go bad, but they weren't my favorites either. But this, ahh...the lemony twist and freshness of flavor, that surprised me and has stayed on my list of things to make early in the day.

I have to say that I am impressed and surprised that when I had a glass of this smoothie every morning, my hunger pangs were gone and I felt full the whole morning.

So here's the recipe, I hope you will enjoy it as I did.

INGREDIENTS:


3 cups of baby Kale
2 pcs medium banana
1 med-large avocado
l lemon
honey (optional)
2-3 cups of water

DIRECTIONS:

In a blender, pour in kale, banana, avocado and water. Mix until all the ingredients have become thick. Add four tbsp lemon or add more according to your taste, add honey, and blend for 20 secs.

You can add more or less water, depending on how you want your smoothie to be.

Makes 4 servings.

Baked Turkey Burger Mix Patty

Turkey Burger Mix Patty in Avocado Salad

This makes wonderful light meals, you can eat them any mealtime. I thought of making this because I kind of miss eating picadillo but I don't want to eat using turkey meat. Instead I just thought of making something else. Next time though, I'm going to make the patties a 'little' wider so they won't come off as mini-burgers. PORTION people. PORTION!

Chicken in Avocado Salad

Chicken in Avocado Salad

This was supposed to be a chicken salad avocado wrap, but the wrap that I bought was not the one I wanted so it ended up as a salad instead. It's still good, just missing the tortilla, that's all. This can be served as an appetizer, snack or light meal. Anyway you like it.
