juicy breakfast
Jason Vale’s Minty Sunshine, Tahini Beaney, and Veggie Power, all freshly juiced and blended! Except for the pink intruder. I bought it because I wanted the little glass bottle, perfect for take-away…. Nevertheless in comparison to our fresh juices it was the perfect proof that the difference fresh versus pasteurized is enormous. Minty Sunshine 2 oranges 3 carrots 1-2 cm chunk root ginger 4 sprigs fresh mint a small handful ice cubes Juice all ingredients. Pour […]
homemade almond milk
Since I learned how to make almond milk I use it to make smoothies, to put it into my chai, for cooking and baking and to soak my overnight muesli in. The taste is light and crisp and the texture is amazingly creamy. From a health perspective it’s low in fat and calories but high in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. It contains vitamins and minerals such as copper, zinc, iron, magnesium, manganese, calcium, phosphorus, […]
7 days of spring detox
Hi, dear readers, time is ripe and ready for a spring detox! This year I decided to live on fresh vegetable and fruit juice the biggest part of the detox week: juice/smoothie for breakfast, juices for lunch and teatime. For dinner I’ll skip the juice and have steamed vegetables instead, a creamy soup or a salad. No coffee, no dairy, no carbs. Lots of water and herbal teas. If you’d like to join me, you’ll […]
smoothie and raw food combination tips!
Smoothies make a great breakfast (and if you like, you can continue drinking them all day). They replenish your cells with water, minerals and natural sugars! Here a few tips, to make your smoothie experience very enjoyable!! 1. Melon should always be the first meal of the day (never in between other meals) and in a smoothie also best just by itself. The reason why it doesn’t mix well, is, that is has a very […]
a week of vegan specials
fresh coconut-agave-strawberry smoothie If you, like me, have dipped your foot in vegan waters already, you will know that this week you won’t have to expect any hay, straw and treetasting foods. Especially in summer I crave nothing more than light crunchy vegetables and fruit in all variations, and my daughter Vik, a true vegan and expert cook, has inspired many groundbreaking recipes. Moreover, she knows how to combine food the most effective way, what works […]
how to make the best use of the first tender baby beetroots

aqua fresca scented with rhubarb, rose and vanilla
Whenever I prepare a rhubarb sauce for dessert I add more water than the usually needed for the cooking. Later I strain the juice into a little crystal jug and put it apart. I love to pour a sip of this essence into my water. It’s a refreshing, mouth-puckering springtime beverage. Even the boring oatmeal for breakfast becomes a perfumed extravaganza, if you substitute part of the milk by rhubarb essence. Don’t be disappointed if […]
