Pineapple Beet Smoothie & Thai Style Raw Noodles

You are here: Home » Blender Recipes » Pineapple Beet Smoothie & Thai Style Raw Noodles

I admit sometimes I completely underestimate my dear husband.  I thought that after the first week of our Raw Food Meatless Monday Man Challenge his enthusiasm levels would start to wane.  This is a man who used to eat a whole roast chicken in one sitting. I’m not saying that I don’t have faith in him changing his eating habits, but I didn’t think it would happen easily.

The following Monday arrived and to my astonishment he bounced out of bed all excited and ready for his next smoothie to try. He is not a morning person and seeing him with this much energy first thing in the morning was a little out of the ordinary. Knowing how much he loves his pink drinks it was logical that this would be the colour of his next smoothie to taste test.

The Boy’s review of the Pineapple Beet smoothie and Thai Chilli Coconut Zucchini Noodles: 
 
“After a week of eating a nearly 100% vegan diet I must say I am feeling more energetic and refreshed as each day passes… who would have thought that a diet of meat and dairy would actually wear you down and make you feel worse!  I have decided to throw myself into this experiment and have been excluding meat and dairy from my diet except when it would be rude to refuse a meal someone else has already prepared. 
 
Looking forward to my smoothie this morning I was pleased to find a delicious “pink drink” of beetroot and pineapple as having grown up eating beetroot it is one of my favourite root vegetables.    Apparently beetroot is full of nitrates which have been shown to boost performance in endurance sports such as running and cycling and reduce blood pressure.   This along with its strong rich flavours certainly made it a winner for me. 
 
It was followed that night by a beautiful raw noodle dish that had me licking the bowl… it easily beat our first experience with the raw spaghetti dish at the Raw Kitchen in Fremantle and I can highly recommend this dish to everyone.  The mix of flavours from the coconut, garlic and almond made this dish simply amazing and I will now be expecting chomp to be making it regularly from now on!”

 

Over the next coming weeks I will be publishing some blender recipes that I have created with my OmniBlend. The concept is for each Monday to not only stick with Meatless Monday and eat only vegetarian but to take it to the next level and make it a Raw Food Meatless Monday. For the whole day we will only eat raw, vegan, gluten free, dairy free and fructose friendly.
