Healthy Food Snack Recipes To Make Guests' Mouths Water

The natural healthy food organic recipes that I use are often made up as I wander around my organic garden.

Mind you, a lot of it is eaten before it ever reaches the kitchen. For instance I usually eat about a dozen figs each day straight from the tree, when they are in season.

But there are often more figs ripening than a dozen, so some of them make it to the 'fridge to be dried when there are enough of them.

Weeds and snails don't tempt me when they are raw, so I take my sow-thistles, and nettles and snails in to the kitchen for cooking. Similarly I've never sunk my teeth into a raw sweet potato that I've just pulled out of the ground, but I've often eaten a carrot or sugar-beet right out of the ground.

Whatever makes it as far as the kitchen is included in my menu.

I've spent many happy hours gathering mulberries from the roadside trees, and blackberries, and carob beans, and raspberries, and strawberries, and English gooseberries. Some of these delicious fruit even reached the container because I couldn't eat them as fast as I picked them.

Of course your healthy food breakfast should have a bit more than just fruit. Vegetables are also great. I used to wander my organic garden and gather whatever struck my fancy. Some of it was suitable for breakfast such as Daikon radish, Florence fennel, purslane, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, nasturtium flowers, pansy flowers, day lily flowers, parsley, garlic greens and so on.

Now I have hardly any teeth left I prepare this healthy food breakfast. It doesn't take me very long at all. I start by drinking 1.2 litres of water.

Into my 1.5litre blender I put three driied shiitake mushrooms, half an orange with the skin still on it, a tomato, a carrot, three florets of broccoli, 2 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons powdered ginger root, 2 tablespoons brewer's yeast, one apple, handful of raisins, 50ml coconut oil, 600 ml (1pint) water. While it is blending I crack 2 jumbo-size eggs into a glass ready to pour into the blender.

When everything is blended to my satisfaction I add the two eggs and blend for another ten seconds, then drink everything from the blender, to save on washing up.

I finish my breakfast with a good handful of dried bananas. Not only are these cheaper than fresh bananas, but recent research indicates that they are more healthy than fresh bananas.

In the middle of the morning I snack on a tablespoon of apricot kernels, because even if they don't protect me from cancer, I like their flavor.

For lunch I have 200 gm red cabbage and some fruit. In the middle of the afternoon I drink 400 ml of water, and a mug full of cocoa with dried stevia powder as a sweetener. The cocoa makes me feel good and suppresses any pangs of hunger, just as chocolate does, but the stevia is a better sweetener than sugar.

For the evening meal I have a stew made of kangaroo mince, and seaweed, and garlic, and onions, and 1.5 litres of coconut oil. In the evening I munch of almond nuts and three Brazil nuts, and perhaps some raisins.

Are you thinking that my natural healthy food organic recipes are ridiculously simple? You are right - I just make them up as I go along. This week tomatoes are too expensive, so I put in some Florence fennel instead. Next week I may use watermelon instead.

Don't I get bored with the same food all the time? Don't you get bored with cornflakes tasting like cardboard? How often do you see two apples exactly the same size? Or tomatoes, or oranges. The balance of flavor is different every day because everything keeps changing size on me. Because I make up my own recipes there could also be persimmons, mandarins, kiwi-fruit, pineapple, star fruit, longans, lichees, mangoes. I must stop. This is making my mouth water too much.
