Camote Tops Smoothie


I made a couple of camote tops smoothie the previous month but didn't write down the recipe. I would normally record unique smoothies that I make but not this one and I don't know why. A friend asked for this recipe and luckily I made one this afternoon (I got hungry ;)  ).

If I am new to smoothies I would make this recipe like this:

1 cup coconut drinking water
1 cup camote tops
1 stick celery
2 medium size medium banana
1/2 inch ginger
1 teaspoon chia seeds

You may want to do that if you are new to this but if you want to follow what I did today here it is:

Recipe:

1 cup almond milk
1 1/2 cups camote tops
1 stalk celery
1/2 cup mango or 1 pear
1/2 inch ginger
1 medium frozen banana
1 tablespoon raw aloe vera

Optional:
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon spirulina powder
1 tablespoon tahini

*Blend milk, camote tops, celery, mango, ginger, banana and aloe vera in a high powered blender for 2 minutes. Add chia seeds, powder and tahini for 15 seconds to make sure everything are blended nicely. Enjoy!

Donut Muffins

The great thing about social network like Facebook is that recipes are shared around. I got this recipe over there and I thought I'd try. I changed some ingredients and it is still fluffy and delicious. Now I repeat, this is NOT my recipe and whoever owns this, well done!

Recipe:

1 cup wholemeal flour
3/4 cup plain flour
1/2 tsp himalayan salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup palm sugar
1 egg
1/3 olive oil
3/4 cup milk

Combine dry ingredients. Mix liquids in separate bowl. Add liquids to dry and combine together well, without over beating. Bake at 180 degrees for 20 to 25 mins.

While muffins are still hot, dip into melted butter and roll into sugar (1/4 cup) and cinnamon (1/4 cup) mixture.

Serve while hot and enjoy!
