Vanilla Melon Melody Smoothie

7/29/2020

Smoothies are a great way to include fruits in your diet! As you may know, I usually recommend adding vegetables to your smoothies to balance out the sweetness of the fruit, and increase your veggie intake. However this smoothie is sweet & simple, using only bananas and cantaloupe.

This time of year, we have greater access to so much fresh fruit, and I feel that it's important to enjoy what's only available locally for such a short period!

If you really want to focus on more local produce, you could swap the banana for berries or peaches, however the taste and texture will be much different.

Kale & Cauliflower Curry

It's the season of kale around here! I've been busy finding ways to use up all the kale that I've been harvesting from my own garden as well as that which I receive in my CSA share (community supported agriculture) and FreshBox (locally run online subscription program that delivers fresh and local produce year-round). As I'm committed to not wasting any food I buy or grow AND like to think ahead, I really like this recipe as it freezes well and is quite versatile.

While you may be tempted to serve this with rice, I recommend serving it over a protein to balance out the carbohydrate content. Good options could include chicken breast, pork chops or even mixed with ground meats or shredded bacon.

Serving this curry with a protein will ensure you're provided with ample protein to keep you satisfied for hours and prevent a blood sugar spike and then the subsequent crash.
