Vanilla Melon Melody Smoothie

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.

Curried Chicken, Kale and Cauliflower

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 this recipe didn't originally include chicken and suggested serving it over rice, I switched it up with adding in the chicken to balance out the carbohydrate content. You could easily substitute with other cuts of chicken, pork chops or even mixed it with ground meats. I also like it topped with chopped bacon.

If you practice carb cycling, this is a great option for your higher carb weeks. 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.
