Greens & Fruit Soup

Greens and Fruit Soup
A lovely, thick soup this makes. So refreshing it is to eat this here in Bahia, Brazil.
If you want it to be a smoothie, just add more liquid.

for two servings:
1/2 medium papaya
1 medium mango
6 strawberries
greens of any kind
I used 2 leaves of lettuce, some arugula, 1 leaf of kale, small amount of cilantro
2-3 tablespoons of ground flax seeds
1 tablespoon of coconut butter/oil
pinch of sea salt
coconut water

blend, serve in bowls and decorate with cut up fruit

Coconut

One of my favorite foods is the coconut.

Happy to be back in Bahia, Brazil.....consuming lots of coconuts.

In food processor, pulse almonds into a flour. Remove from processor. Add half of oat groats to food processor and process until smooth. Place mixture in a bowl. Combine oat groat mixture with almond flour, seasoning, agave nectar and cranberries. Spread mixture on Teflex sheet. Dehydrate at 110 degrees overnight or 6-8 hours. Flip over and score into bars about 4 hours into the dehydrating time.
