Enlightened Cooking: Sneaky Smoothies (Healthy Cooking)
March 11th, 2008
Camilla Saulsbury makes two healthy breakfast smoothies (one blueberry, one pumpkin) that sneak vegetables into the mix.
I must admit that adding pumpkin as a sweet or to smoothies is quite a new thing for me.
In Australia, we eat pumpkin more as a vegetable. It wasn’t until my partner who is from America made me a pumpkin pie that I realised it was such a versatile food! To this day, whenever we serve pumpkin pie to our Aussie friends and family they are always surprised and a little aprehensive about trying it. That changes pretty quickly though once they eat it!
The first time I cooked a roast dinner for my partner , I got that same puzzled look when I served the roast pumpkin with all the other vegetables. It is now a firm favorite and we eat it almost every night with our meal. We have family visiting from Texas next month and I don’t think they are used to eating it as part of their main meal so that should be interesting ;)
You can find the complete recipes at Camilla’s blog, www.enlightenedcooking.blogspot.com (posting for 1.24.08) A really lovely site with some beautiful recipes which I am going to try out.
