Lunch...

with steamed brokkoli, baked pumpkin, mixed salad with figues, baked black kale....yummy!

Steamed roots time is coming...

 

Green salad with apple and avocado, steamed carrots, curcumber and yellow beet and a ready veggyburger.  

And after I had a warm almondmilk with cinnamon and cacao powder....my desires are becoming winterlike.....

A really full plate...

Salad with apple, potatoes and yellow beet, mushrooms with onions and parsley aaand organic beef from the meadow....it was an amazing full plate - but exactly what I needed.

Chia and Tigernut breakfast

I mixed tigernut ground and chiaseeds with warm water and almondmilk, added one banana, half an apple, some little pieces of dattes and cinnamon - very warming for a day which feels like fall already...

KIMCHI

I cant tell how much I enjoyed this korean dish after a veeeery exhausting day at work - I had no strength to prepare something myself at home. It was not organic, not vegan, even not vegetarian - but with an amazingly great taste, exactly what I needed - beef, egg, rice, kimchi, vegetables, herbs, spicy with some sesam oil....and the beans, just steamed with some salt.... aand the Singha beer.....hummmmmm :-)
I loOove Berlin for all these kind of dishes with quite high quality for not much money!
TO LOC in Wiener Straße - simple, cheap and tasty.

last bbq in this year?

Summer says goodbye....the last sunny days in Berlin invite for a very last bbq in my garden....nice green and red as side dishes :-)

This is not a green smoothie ;-)

Just took this foto some days ago in Marseille....

Simple tasty dish - would be more pretty with some parsley ;-)

Beluga lens with berry-vinegar, avocado salad, in coconutmilk steamed kohlrabi and a veery tasty (bought) Tofu-leek-onion-sunflower seeds-piece. I rarely eat soy-products....but this one is too good not to eat it from time to time...

Cacao smoothie with cinnamon

Almondmilk, cacao, cinnamon, coconut-rice-milk, water..... hmmmm :-)

Once a month....

....I enjoy a tasty piece of beef (organic "meadow-meat") - this time with smashed sweet potatoes in coconut-rice-milk and a soo tasty salad with avocado, apple, onion, lemon juice, pumpkin seed oil, salt, pepper.

Ananas Mint Coconut Smoothie

After Yoga I made this amaaazing tasty smoothie -  I could not even wait for the foto after my first sip....thats why the glass is not full anymore :-) its just too good!
Banana, ananas, mint, coconutmilk, water....that's all.

My salad is like...paradise :-)

 

Green salad, apple, peaches, fennel, avocado, parsley, chicory, cherry tomatoes, sliced carrots with
lemonjuice, almond butter, apple vinegar, hemp seed oil, pumpkin seed oil, salt, pepper - hmmmmmm......

Orientalic sheep cheese with lots of curcuma and black cumin

I mix organic sheep cheese with watersoaked chopped dates and raisins, add coconutoil, olive oil, oriental spice mix, salt, pepper, selfmade curcuma paste and black cumin....fresh cilantro had been great too :-) wonderful with my grainfree bread.....yummy!

Best organic beef

I really must say: it was so satisfying to eat meat last sunday. I really enjoyed it. Best organic beef from the meadow, no grain for food.
Just with steamed carrots and mixed salad. Simple and delicious.

...when the smoothie fits my interieur.... :-)

Oven-Pumpkin with parsley"chips" and hempseed oil

This fits very good with a little piece of organic meat...

Lunch on mothersday :-)

I cooked for my mom on mothersday...while she was eating she said: "Its different, its really tasty - but I could not eat this EVERY day!" :-)
We ate: Mixed quinoa, steamed mixed coloured carrots and brokolie, marinaded tofu and a great asia winter salad with apple, fennel, parsley and coriander.
Meanwhile my daddy was with my mothers mom and he cooked for her :-) (she lives in the south and he spent two weeks at her place to take care for her)

Wild herbs salad with Beluga lens and kohlrabi, so simple so good.

Long time nothing posted....

...since I am working again after my sabbatical....but my way of eating did not change :-) just that I eat nothing sweet anymore....only sugar in fruits...no agave-syrup, no honey, no stevia... here my lunch for today: Quinoa with steamed broccoli and Pak Choi, with halfdryed tomatoes and some pieces of Tofu - and a wonderful wild herbs salad with sprouds.

Chopped "Postelein" Salad

Chopped with my Vitamix. Postelein (very tasty little leaves - dont know how to translate) with fennel, apple, a lot of lemon juice, linseed oil, salt, pepper - a real energy booster :-)

Finally he is really MINE :-)

When I read about the Vitamix the very first time, I thought: HOW ridiculus  - a mixer for THIS amount of money!!! In this moment I had never ever thought that all the research about food could convince me to NEED this beautiful blendermonster. 
I will love my Vitamix for ever :-)

Simple Green Salad with Sprouds

Almondcream-Dressing

                                                            

www.kochtrotz.de

Unfortunately its always too dark already to make a picture from my newest salad:
green salad with very thinly sliced fennel, apple, add halfed cherrytomatoes, sliced chiccoree and parsley - with this dressing its really veery delicious, try this out:
1 tablespoon 100% almondcream, 1 tablespoon hemp seed oil, 1 tablespoon lemonjuice, 1 tablespoon vinegar, salt, pepper (I always mix everything by feeling - tablespoon is really just guessing...)
So far everybody loOoved this dressing :-)

Now it's for sure: I am in LOVE ! And very very soon he will be MINE !!!! :-) :-) :-)

This guy is just pretty amazing. First I wanted to be loyal to my old blender which are all doing a quite good job - but nutbutter they just cant do, smoothies so smooth that one understands why its called smoothie they just cant do, making linseeds to powder in some seconds they just cant do....
So I think this pretty guy will be a friend for lifetime :-)
And KEIMLING.de makes it possible for me. Patrick Tomforde from Keimling is very supporting  and makes non-possible things possible! Thank you Patrick!

Can I imagine a life without smoothie? I really dont think so!

My best smoothie so far - with aronia berries

 Foto: www.arionaplanzen.com

                                     
Last time the mixture was just boosting :-)
1 banana, 1 apple, 1 orange, 1/2 lemon, black cabbage, celery leaves aaand:
dried aronia berries, bee pollen, hemp seeds, almond butter, a bit water...a DREAM!

Kohlrabi with sweet potatoes

An easy tasty dish:
sweet smashed potatoes, kohlrabi with the green and a green salad with avocados and red onion.

Wintersalad with fennel and apple

A delicious salad with fennel, mizuna salad, wild herbes, apple, peeled hemp seeds, sesam seeds, hemp oil, vinegar, salt, pepper - very refreshing!

"Markthalle 9" - its like paradise there....

Today I bought my food like every saturday in Markthalle 9 - my favourite markethall in Berlin - its an fantastic atmosphere there, just around my corner in Kreuzberg. Its mostly organic and always regional (exept some bananas) - the avocados I bought somewhere else.
There is a guy who is even selling wonderful wild herbes - great for my green smoothies.

Beetroot Soup

Beetroot, pumpkin, potatoes, parsleyroot, orange, apple, roasted onion, later roasted seeds....and some spices and hempseed oil...I forgot the parsley....a delicious soup for a cold-humid sunday in fall.

My green collection

Even just to watch this makes me happy :-)

Simply a fruit smoothie

so smooth... 1 apple, 1 orange, 1 lemon, a bit water...thats all....simple, delicious and refreshing :-)

Creamy crunchy hazelnut squish

This is suuuch a dream: hazelnuts just with molasses in the Vitamix....stop before too creamy....delicious :-) great to use for desserts with fruit squish and soy cream......

He arrived!

Oh my goodness, the Vitamix arrived!! Unfortunatley in blaack...but hey, I am sooo happy to have the possibility to try this Vitamix for 2 MONTHS for FREE! Many thanks to www.KEIMLING.de - the german distributor for the Vitamix and many other stuff for our health.
I think I fall in love with this huge blendermonster....

Actually....

...during my Sabbatical I did not run - for more than one year  for which reasons ever. Step by step I changed my way of eating, but in may 2013 I changed REALLY. So since nearly 5 months I dont eat any industrial sugar, honey etc, no cereals, no milk products, no saussages etc....just fruits, vegetables (raw and cooked!), legumes, seeds, good oils, green smoothies etc -- I ran now twice around 6 km each time and I can say: I am running as quick and fit as never before in my life!!!!
I am sure this has something to do with my way of feeding my body . I find my way of feeling fit and awake and concentrated really really amazing!

Vitamix

Okay: I am veery content with my Philips HR 2096/00! Really! For just 90 Euro he is doing an amaaazing work!!!
But, yes, I admit: I want to have the iphone of the mixers: a vitamix.
And, I am sooo happy, "Keimling" in germany is renting for 2 months (!!) a Vitamix for free - so I can be really really sure to buy or to leave it!
In some days he will arrive at my place - I am toooo curious and I will tell you my experience with the monstermachine of mixers ;)

The amazing great Philips HR 2096/00

To be honest: this mixer is really great - for just 90 Euro instead of around 650 Euro in Germany for a Vitamix!
But yeeesss: nevertheless I am dreaming of a Vitamix.... 

SOME MONTHS LATER
......SOOOOOO......now I can tell: this blender just works for around 10 months....theeeen a srew inside of the blade gets rosty and it is amazing how endlessly rosty liquid cream comes out there - disgusting. I mean, it might not be harmful - but all your smoothies get orange and the taste is BAH!
Pity. Could had been a good and cheap alternative. But unfortunately: no.

5 different leaves for a luxurious green smoothie :-)

5 different leaves for my green smoothie, with 1 banana, 1 apple, lemonjuice, almondbutter and chia seeds. Pure healthy power :-)

Kale Chips Try

Its not Green Kale time yet - so I tryed another sort of kale to make my chips....I greased each piece in coconut oil, a bit pepper and salt - and put it in the oven on low temperature.

yes, it worked! Crispy and just great! :-)

Radicchio Salad

hmmm! Radicchio with fennel and apple and a great sauce made with almondbutter, linseed oil, lemon, vinegar and salt.....very good!

Cosy fall plate ;-)

I am back in Berlin, my wonderful Sabbatical in Marseille is over.......phu, not so easy this change....and here its already cold and humid...buuut: I am very happy about all this wonderful fall-vegetables: pumpkin, beetroot, parsleyroot, kale....so I put all this things in my oven, all pieces greased in coconut oil, with fresh rosemary, fennelseeds and a bit salt...feels homy :-)

...and after 15 minutes I enjoyed a superyummy mixture and crispy leave chips from the beetroot!

Stay Tuned

  

 

Its so warm overhere in Marseille....so we mostly just eat salads and make smoothies....nothing new....and we have many longterm guests who do not want to eat always healthy stuff...
But soon I will post new stuff :-)

Almond Cacao with Mint and Matcha

Almondbutter, water, raw cacao powder, 1 banana, a bit coconut oil, fresh mint leaves and matcha in the blender.....a dream :-) I realize more and more: all this agave syrop, dates and stuff is not really necessary to sweeten up smoothies.....

Almond milk with Matcha

Almond milk and matcha in the blender plus some ice cubes......hmmm :-)

Organic beef with curcuma, cumin and onions

The last days it was soooo warm in Marseille - I just ate fruits fruits fruits.
So today my body was calling for meat. I made organic beef with cumin and curcuma and lots of onions - with salad and quinoa.

Almond milk with cherries

I actually dont make "fresh" almond milk anymore.....I just take almond butter from the bio shop, mix it in my blender with water and done it is.
Here with cherries, melon and banana....soo yummy!
