Delicious Peach & Berry Salad with Swiss Chard

While at work and over my short juice cleanse I was craving a great salad just happened that we got some fresh red chard in my work food box I do community living anyways since I had also brought some of own produce I whipped something up which turned out amazing.
The items you will need are as follows:
This amount for one person
1 bunch of Swiss Chard- washed use all of it including the stems
2 nectarines or peaches your choice maybe even one of each
2 stalks of celery thin slice
1/2 beet cut into a fine julienne-thin strips
2 sprigs of fresh time take herb off stems give a rough chop
1/2 cucumber large dice
1 large tomato or 3 Roma large dice
1 cup fresh blueberries because they are so yummy
1tsp sea salt
2tsp fresh cracked black pepper
1 good drizzling of extra virgin olive oil roughly 1tblsp
Toss these ingredients in a bowl and allow to sit for 5min for the chard to absorb some of the oil and salt to breakdown some of the toughness.  Then give one last toss and bon apetite.

All I can say was I amazed at awesome this tasted the olive oil really brightened up everything and the fresh thyme was the perfect herb choice for all the different fruits I used they just popped.

I would recommend other oils like flax, avocado for this or even a bit of coconut oil but the strong olive flavour is a nice contrast next to the sweet fruit.

Peace and God Bless.

Dragonfruit Green Smoothie

So I made this the other day whn I was doing a brief juice cleanse I had not made it too the market to get a great deal of produce which I have now and intenedc to do a cleanse over the next few days and maybe even longer.  Some of you may have seen my youtube videos; bare with me I'm new to this format and have always been kind of shy in front of the camera.  This is just another juice I concocted while at work I thought some of you might enjoy very simple but quite delicious.  As you may know from mention of this terrrific fruit in previous posts I love dragonfruit I was craving it the other night along with a monstrous amount of spinach I lucked out and was able to grab a 5lb bag for 2.99 and the dragonfruit was only a 1.60 and then some bottled water which I already had.   Basically peeled and chunk the dragonfruit and threw in the spinach and water all into the blender and liquefied it the blender i have at work is well a piece of junk so it was still a bit chunky but the overall taste was nice refreshing and was a nice boost of energy for the rest of my work shift.

So easy really 1 dragonfruit, 4-5cups spinach no stems just leaves, and 2-3 cups of water.  I would have used coconut water if I had some available great source of electrolytes for body recovery and some of that natural energy.
Give this a try next time your looking for a tropical splash.  Adding other fruits are optional though with dragon fruit I would recommend mango, papaya, or some fresh pineapple.  For more of a green kick you could add some kale or chard to this or even some juiced wheatgrass.

God Bless.
