Salad for Breakfast.

I have one goal: to balance my blood sugar levels. [People who have tried 811 diet, comment below as to how you deal with this, because I literally have felt knees wobble when eating 10 bananas and dates.]

I made this and realized that only two utensils are necessary for a perfect salad!! 1) A pair of tongs and 2) a big bowl, not a flat plate. If you can mix everything together and break down the leaves a bit, your salad meshes flavours perfectly.


Summer Salad aka. YUMMO BOWL.

-strawberries
-blackberries
-spiralized zucchini
-grated carrot
-organic spring mix
-epic Lebanese EVOO
-sea salt
-lemon juice
-sunflower seeds
-Corn sliced right off the cob



AND MY FAVE NEW FRUIT. Texture cityyyy.
I bought one the other day, giddy, and beside myself with EXCITEMENT, I cradled it like a dragon egg, all the way home. LOOK HOW PRETTY.

FIRST TIME EATING DURIAN. EPIC.

I LOVE DURIAN, I've loved it even before I had the chance to try it, I didn't care that it would smell, didn't care that it might have a sweet onion taste, just seeing a picture of Ani Phyo relaxing on a beach eating it has made me crave this for years, AND FINALLY, yesterday my Malaysian friend brought a fresh one from the grocery store and cracked it open.

I'm in love.

Here's a picture.


I couldn't contain my excitement hence all my blurry pictures. Smoothie recipe to follow, with cinnamon and cacao.

EPIC JUICE DAY.

The weather is AWESOME in Toronto today, which calls for a hydrating, luscious, divine, magnificent...pre-mother's day juice.

I have to say, I have been taking amazing care of my mom lately...she's probably reading this now and agreeing. We created a health routine that involved regularizing juicing, and smoothie-making, plus massive salads throughout the day. Obviously, not far from the regular Mediterranean diet, raw is the focus, especially being wheat and dairy free, AND MOM, YOU'RE DOING AN EPIC JOB, if I do say so myself.

I am going to take a picture of the juices we make, today we juiced and made 2 L of beet, apple, kale, celery, cucumber, and carrot juice, it was so beautiful---a giant glass pitcher of fuschia coloured juice with orange foam on top, and it tasted heavenly!

Pics to come!
