Blueberry Açai Berry Bowl
New and Something Special!
Blueberry açai berry bowl to beat the summer heat! 🌞
The news of the second heatwave in Europe made her wonder about climate change. The experience was really unbearable and quite terrible. The global climate temperatures have changed. There’s so much information about all of it, and yet there’s not much being done. One step at a time, each one of us can make a change. Together we can make some small changes to help our planet. After all, the younger generation needs a beautiful planet left by us, not a dying one. Do we really want them to worry about water, oxygen, and more?
A plant-based meal is healthy(for our bodies and the planet), yummy and great in all ways.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup blueberries (you can substitute with any seasonal fruit/berry, of course)
- Açai Berry (you can substitute this one as well)
- 2 Bananas
- 1 cup Almond milk (or any other plant-based milk)
- 1 tbs chia seeds
- Blend Blend Blend! Add any fruits or dry fruits as toppings, and enjoy!

Hummus and Pita Bread
If you are craving for some good hummus and pita bread and rather than buying it or thought of making your own and easy hummus. Here’s the simple recipe in case you have sudden cravings.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup well-stirred tahini
- 2 small garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt to taste
- 2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
- Dash ground paprika or sumac, for serving
Method:
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the tahini and lemon juice and process for 1 minute, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl then process for 30 seconds more. This extra time helps “whip” or “cream” the tahini, making the hummus smooth and creamy.
- Add the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the whipped tahini and lemon juice. Process for 30 seconds, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl then process another 30 seconds or until well blended
- Add half of the chickpeas to the food processor and process for 1 minute. Scrape sides and bottom of the bowl, then add remaining chickpeas and process until thick and quite smooth; 1 to 2 minutes.
- Most likely the hummus will be too thick or still have tiny bits of chickpea. To fix this, with the food processor turned on, slowly add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water until you reach the perfect consistency
- Taste for salt and adjust as needed. Serve hummus with a drizzle of olive oil and a dash of paprika. Store homemade hummus in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.

Avocado Ice-Cream
This recipe is very easy to make – with almost no prep time – the hardest part is waiting for it to freeze. Cause when we tasted the “mixture” before leaving it to set and freeze – We had a foodgasm and didn’t want to keep it away.
Avo – also called butter fruit – is packed with good fat, fiber, and loaded with antioxidants, and full of texture. This ice cream turned out super fluffy and light, too!!
You can obviously choose to modify/customize this as per your liking.
Turn it into a chocolate ice cream by adding cacao powder.
Add cacao nibs of chocolate to turn into avocado-choco-chip ice cream.
Add mint if you like that flavor.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized ripe Avos (pitted and peeled)
- About 400 ml of SUPER THICK coconut milk or cream (which has been chilled overnight or at least 6-8 hours) (can use homemade or store-bought/canned)
- Juice of 1 small lemon
- Sweetener of choice (and as per your taste)
- Half tsp Vanilla extract/essence (optional)
- A pinch of salt
Method:
- Keep a loaf pan/utensil of choice (which you will use to freeze the ice cream) refrigerated for at least a couple of hours before you make the ice cream (just as you preheat your oven before baking)
- Add all your ingredients to a blender/mixie – and blend em up
- Taste and adjust any flavor/sweetness to your liking,
- Pour this blended, rich, heavenly mixture to your chilled loaf pan/utensil – and freeze for at least 4-6 hours. (If you manage to resist the temptation to gobble it all up immediately that is.)
- Before serving – keep it out at room temperature for 10-15 minutes – to scoop it out with ease.
Garnish with toppings of choice.
