Basil Pesto

Today was pesto making day! This is the recipe for pesto with basil, but you can really replace the basil with coriander or with any other herbs and/or weeds that you like. It is also very flexible what kind of nuts or seeds you are using. I had walnuts at home, so that's what I used, but traditionally pesto is made with pine nuts. Try macadamia nuts, almonds or sunflower seeds. You can make it with or without Parmesan, just how you like it. I had so much basil in my garden, that I quadrupled this recipe!

Green Smoothie with Sauerkraut juice

This is what I call my serious and savoury green smoothie, actually tastes a lot like a green soup, cold if you use cold water and warm if you use hot water. When you first start on Sauerkraut juice make only about half the recipe and share it with somebody else. Sauerkraut juice is full of good probiotics, but can have a strong reaction on your digestive system when you first start taking it. Also, don’t be scared about making this and giving it a go, it sounds much more intense than it actually is ? Go easy on strong tasting weeds and greens like dandelion, plantain and kale for the beginning and use more of the softer tasting varieties like lettuce, cos lettuce and baby spinach.
