Banana Berry Almond Flax Smoothie

Powerful Pomegranate Green Smoothie

For the first Secret Recipe Club assignment of the year, I was given Laura's blog A Healthy Jalapeno.
I had fun going through this very interesting, full-of - life blog, reading Laura's experiences while browsing through healthy recipes. Most of her recipes were very easy to make, great combinations, colourful and healthy. What more can one ask for?

Finally I chose this simple Powerful Pomegranate Smoothie since I'm always looking for different combinations for smoothies. Ideal for breakfast or even between meals to get a powerful fix. It couldn't get better when I can harvest fresh organic spinach from my own space!!

If you haven't begun growing your own, begin with spinach and you will never want to eat the store bought ones again.

1 pear
1 cup pomegranate seeds
1 frozen banana
1 cup organic spinach

Ever since I had posted on the Health benefits of Gooseberry I've had request for more recipes with Gooseberry. This one is simple and retains all the goodness of the fruit since its a raw food recipe. You can eat it with a dosa or idli or even in a sandwhich. Let me know how you like it.

Mango Salsa

This is the season for mangoes - the king of fruits! At the supermarket I was amazed at the varieties we have here. Raspuri, totapuri, alphonso, badami, beganpalli... and so many more. Which one is your favourite?

I've used Beganpalli for this salsa. Simply loved the combination of flavours! So simple to prepare, I wish my kids would eat!

The one outstanding trait of her dishes that have me baffled always; is her creative combinations with raw foods. We all know that salads are healthy, but are you wondering how to pep it up for your kids and family?
