Organic Black & Blue Smoothie

Breakfast today was a Black & Blue Smoothie.

Organic Black & Blue Smoothie

• 227g organic plain nonfat or lowfat yogurt
• 50g frozen organic blackberries
• 90g frozen organic blueberries
• 1/2 frozen organic banana
• 12g organic walnuts

Blend all in blender or magic bullet. This was my first time adding blackberries and the blackberries add a slight bit more bitterness than just using blueberries alone. It was slightly crunchy because of the seeds from the blackberries. I bet a vitamix would completely pulverize the seeds. Very yummy though.

Egg Salad Sandwiches & Hummus

Organic Egg Salad Sandwich

• 2 slices Ezekiel 3:9 Bread (I like the sesame ezekiel 3:9 by Food for Life)
• 1 organic egg
• 60 grams of organic hummus (recipe below)
• squirt of organic spicy brown mustard to taste

Chop up egg, and mix with hummus and mustard. Toast bread and spread egg/hummus mixture on bread. Slice into two and enjoy.

Organic Hummus

• 1 can organic chickpeas
• 1/3 cup organic tahini paste
• 1 clove of organic garlic - optional
• dash of sea salt
• Juice of 2 organic lemons or 4 Tbsp of organic lemon juice (I use Santa Cruz Organic bottled lemon juice because it's easy to have on hand).
• Water

Blend all in a food processor until creamy smooth. Use spatula to push down once in a while and add a little water at a time until you get the right consistancy. You could change out the beans and also add all sorts of spices.

I always have this hummus in my fridge. It's so easy to make and so tasty. I also want to try my hand at making my own tahini. I get about 5 batches out of a store bought jar of tahini paste.
