I have a smoothie most days so I decided to post another version. This one has oranges from our garden because it helps thin the smoothie. They are not only so delish, but also have great anti-cancer and healthy heart properties. Read more here... This smoothie also has 3 romaine lettuce leaves. This is a great way to get in your greens. Add almond milk, frozen berries and a little Super Seed and your ready whir.

Ingredients:
Serves 1
1 cup frozen organic berries
1 orange peeled into sections
3 romaine lettuce leaves
3/4 cup almond milk
1/2 scoop Super Seed

Method:
1. Put all into blender except the Super Seed.
2. Blend until smooth. Add a little water if too thick.
3. Pour in the Super Seed and whir just a few seconds.

You wouldn't think it, but this combo works! These pancakes were awesome and very easy to prepare. Use your ripe bananas and a little pancake mix and you're almost there. We picked berries from the garden this morning to serve as topping with a little maple syrup. A great Father's Day breakfast!

Ingredients:
2 small zucchini or 1 medium-large, grated
2 eggs
1 1/2 banana
1/2 cup pancake mix or enough to make the mixture not runny
1/4 cup milk alternative like almond milk
1/3 tsp salt

Method:
1. Place grated zucchini into a bowl, add the eggs and beat with a fork. Add the remaining ingredients until you have a pancake batter consistency.
2. Heat griddle and put on a small about of butter to prevent sticking. 
3. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until just done around the edges.
4. Flip and cook on the other side, making sure not to overcook.
5. Serve with heated maple syrup with chopped up fruit.

Since pears are not always ripe when you purchase them, a great way to serve them is by baking them. Pears are a white food that's actually good for you. High in soluble fiber, just like oats, they help control your cholesterol, too.

1/4 up white wine
1/2 tsp. ground cardamom
1 tsp. vanilla
2-4 firm ripe pears, halved and seeded
1 1/2 T. lemon juice
2 T. sugar

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine wine, cardamom and vanilla in 8" square baking dish. 
2. Place pears cut-side up in baking dish and pour lemon juice over. Sprinkle with sugar.
3. over pan with foil, place on the middle rack in the over, and bake 30 minutes, or until tender.
4. Remove foil; turn over to broil, and but akin pan to top rack. Broil 5 minus, or until lightly browned.
5. Transfer pears to a serving place and drizzle with juice from the pan.
