Ah, verry awesome summer salad! Almost all the greens are from my own garden, so proud! One of the many things I really love about summer - my wonderful garden! It has all different kinds of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, chili, onion, fresh herbs.. Just amazing! (: This salad was so great! The combo with fresh strawberries, crabfish and soy was verry delicious, definitely going to make that one again. The colors are simply gorgeous too, so bright and vibrant! For veggies, I just used what I had, but feel free to use whatever you like. Also, crayfish is a great source of protein and doesn't contain any fat at all.

Yum yum yum! This was so great! In the breakfast smoothie i have raspberries, banana, salad leaves, milk and limejuice. I almost always add some kind of veggie to my smoothies, it really makes them so much more healthier, and you really can't taste it. In this one i used a verry light green sort of salad (can't remember the name), so it didn't ruin the pretty pink color (: But you can use any greens you want: Kale, spinach, carrots etc. Especially kale is incredibly healthy, so go ahead!

The watermelon shake was sooo great to! When i was in Thailand last year, we drank these everyday while lying at the pool. So delicious, healthy and refreshing! Perfect on hot summer days. The only ingredients are watermelon and ice cubes. Just throw it all into a food processor for a minute or two, and there you have it!

It lowers the blood pressure, prevents heart disease and even slows down the aging process! The dark chocolate is also REALLY filling, and keaps me full for a verry long time, try it out!
