Kale Power Smoothie

Ingredients

3 organic curly kale leaves 
1 handful of baby spinach leaves 
1 small handful of almonds soaked overnight 
100g frozen blueberries
50g frozen raspberries 
300g water 
1 tablespoon of coconut oil 
1 tablespoon of chia seeds 
1 tablespoon of hemp seeds

Place all ingredients in the Termomix.  

Blend for 2 minutes on speed 10.

Add a handful of ice if you want a cold smoothie.

Banana or other frozen fruit can be added to change it up! 

I start each morning with this healthy power smoothie and it tastes delicious! 

It is full of essential phytonutrients from the greens and berries, protein from the nuts, omega's from the seeds and healthy fat from the coconut oil! 

The Thermomix is so powerful and liquefies the ingredients in seconds. This also enables all the vitamins and enzymes to be released from the food and absorbed by the body better!

Focaccia Bread (GF)

Ingredients

110 g basmati rice
110 g brown rice
110 g dried chickpeas
55 g almonds or coconut flour or Millet
55 g potato starch or tapioca starch
2 tsp xanthan gum
1 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
1 1/2 tsp sugar
2 level tsp instant yeast (or 1 x 7 g sachet)
350 g water 
30 g olive oil plus more to drizzle over the top
1 Tbsp rosemary needles and oregano, fresh or dried to sprinkle over the top
1 tsp sea salt to sprinkle over the top – optional

Method

1. Grind rice 1 minute/Speed 10.
2. Add chickpeas and almonds. Grind 1 minute/Speed 10.
3. Add remaining ingredients (except the rosemary, salt). Mix 10 seconds/Speed 6, pause to scrape down the sides of the TM bowl with the spatula, then mix again 10 seconds/Speed 6. The dough should be the consistency of a cake batter. Add more water if needed to get the right consistency.
4. Prepare a large rectangular baking tray by pouring in a thin layer of olive oil and swirling it around so it coats the bottom and sides of the dish. Pour in the batter. Let the bread rise for 20 minutes in a warm place, then press your fingers into it all over to make little dimples. Add toppings of your choice, or drizzle with some olive oil and scatter with chopped fresh rosemary, oregano and sea salt.  
5. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°C/400°F/gas for 20 to 30 minutes until golden, with browned, crispy edges. Remove from the baking tray and place onto a wire rack. Leave to cool before cutting or tearing into chunks.
