Veggie/Fruit Smoothie

Ingredients:
2-3 cups Frozen Fruit depending on the fruit that you use (I get Nature's Three Berry, Festival Fruit Blend, and Strawberries from Costco, festival fruit blend is my favorite)
2 Carrots or 1/2 cup Baby Carrots
1/3 to 1/2 cup Broccoli
1/2 to 3/4 cup Spinach
1 Banana
(sometimes I add 1/2 cup Apple Sauce or Pumpkin)
3-5 cups of liquid depending on how thick you like it (milk, juice, or water; I will use coconut milk if I want it to taste more like a milk shake, half grape juice and half water is one of my favorites)

Preparation:
Put all ingredients in a blender.  Pulse to break up the big pieces and blend until smooth.

Makes enough for about 4 people, less if I'm one of those people.  I love smoothies!

Teff/Buckwheat Pancakes

After a lot of experimenting with my family pancake recipe, I have finally come up with a teff/buckwheat pancake recipe that is not to heavy.  It is very flavorful and light.  We love these pancakes with a little pure maple syrup and if we are lucky, some fresh blueberries.

Ingredients:
1 cup sorgham flour
⅔ cup teff flour
⅔ cup buckwheat flour
⅔ cup tapioca flour
2 Tbs baking powder
1 tsp salt
Stir with a fork
2 egg yolks (put the egg whites in a separate bowl)
¼ cup olive oil
1 Tbs molasses
Add enough coconut milk to make batter consistency
Whip the egg whites stiff.  Beat the pancake batter and then fold in the egg whites.

Pumpkin Waffles

I got this recipe from one of my friends.  I had to tweak it a bit to get it to be sugar free, but it is one of our favorite breakfasts.  I guess I can call it that even though we usually eat if for dinner.

Ingredients:
1 c. sorghum flour
1/2 c. teff flour
1/2 c. millet flour
1/2 c. tapioca flour/starch
4 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. raw agave (or 3 tsp Stevia mixed with 1 Tbs of pumpkin)
1/2 Tbs molasses

Slowly add:
1/4 c. olive oil
2 egg yolks
1 c. pumpkin
1 c. milk (I used coconut milk)
1 c. water
Mix until well blended.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peak.  Fold into the batter.
Heat waffle iron or griddle, and spray with
cooking spray.  Pour batter accordingly.
