Camel Milk & Berry Smoothie

Ingredients:

1/2 to 1 pint of camel milk

Put all ingredients into blender or mixer of choice. Blend until smooth.

Enjoy!

Pros of this plate:

• Camel milk, honey and berries all in one calorie packed smoothie
• Looks like a shake - I've traveled with this and blended on location - and given to my son when everyone pulled out the ice cream. In fact, we've gotten many comments that it looks and tastes better than the other ice creams (standard super market stuff) served
• Way less sugar than normal ice cream

Cons of this plate:

• The one con for us is that my son will cough if it is too cold. Then if it warms too much, he doesn't want to eat it. Oyy! The challenges of striking a balance.

Camel milk nutrition

Camel milk for food allergies in children. (While we did not see an effect in food allergy from camel milk, we have seen wonderful wait gain and, I assume, improved nutritional status).

Green Charged Chicken Salad Meal

2 organic chicken breasts (from a whole chicken brined for 24 hours in Himalayan Salt)

1 bunch organic parsley

juice 1 organic lemon

juice 1 organic lime

organic olive oil to taste (I use probably 1/4 - 1/2 cup)

10-14 organic pitted kalamata olives

Finely chop parsley. Chop chicken breast. Thinly slice organic olives. Add in bowl along with juice of lemon and lime, olive oil, and olives. Mix and serve. Makes between 4-6 servings.

As pictured - served with organic crackers and couple kettle chips with organic carrot sticks on a bed of hydroponic romaine & green leaf picked just moments earlier.

Pros of this plate:

• Travels well - so it can be eaten for lunch. And it doesn't call too much attention to itself.
• Has parsley which is rich in many antioxidants and components that have been found to reduce IgE (not sure about what is critical amount needed) and to act against advanced glycation endproducts or AGEs (can make problems in all sorts of diseases - like asthma, diabetes, kidney disease...).
• The obvious other veggies & lemon juice.
• Also the parsley is thinly chopped - so if you have a picky eater, the pieces are too small for them to pick them all out.

Cons of this plate:

• The chips contain AGE's - by the sheer nature of their production (frying), as do the crackers (baked). Advanced glycation endproducts are a product of high temperature cooking. If it's been crisped or browned - you bet there are AGEs created in it. Sometimes I've used this to make a pasta salad - a better option in avoiding AGEs.
