強い日差しに負けないドリンク!

暑い夏には、爽やかにリフレッシュを感じさせる、気分も涼しげにしてくるドリンクを飲みたくなりますよね。

皆さん、こんにちは!お元気にしていますか?

もうすぐ夏本番ということで、今回は爽やかなトマトを使ったドリンクレシピをご紹介します。

トマトジュースには、ビタミンC、ビタミンB群、カリウムなどの栄養素が豊富に含まれています。

また、リコピンには強い抗酸化作用が含まれています。炎症を抑え、心臓病のリスクを軽減するのに役立ちます。トマトジュースを選ぶ時は必ず砂糖を加えていない100%トマトジュースを選びましょう。

そして、美肌のためのビタミンと言えば、ビタミンCですよね。レモンのイメージが強いビタミンCですが、アセロラには、なんとレモン果汁の約34倍のビタミンCが含まれています。レモン果汁は、そのままで飲みにくいのですが、アセロラは爽やかな酸味でそのままでも飲みやすく、紫外線対策に最適なフルーツですよ!

この二つの食材は夏の時期にに絶対に摂取したいおすすめです。

トマトジュース       300ml

いちご (生  or 冷凍の物) 4個

りんご                        1/4 個
冷凍アセロラ            100gr

* (ニチレイアセロラ冷凍を使いました)

Holiday Recipe Roundup

= MAINS =

+ Ifyou are looking for a delicious main this Mushroom, Rice & Hazelnut Loaf is a classic. Rich, crunchy and flavorful!
+ Another fun and slightly unusual dish for the Christmas table are these Stuffed Cabbage Parcels filled with lentils,
walnuts, raisins, garlic and herbs.

+ It's a 10 year anniversary for these Baked Saffron Falafels ~ we made this recipe for a vegan Christmas feature for
Bon Appétit back in 2011.

+ We made these Vegetarian Swedish Meatballs using an oat based tofu, but you can use a regular firm tofu instead.

- SIDES -

+ These Smashed Balsamic Potatoes combine crispy and crunchy.

+ So does these Hasselback potatoes with Pesto & Kale - they look so pretty but demand some knife skills,
+ Afun and slightly unusal take on ribs: Saffron & Ginger Ribs with firm tofu.

+ Mustard Roasted Roots with a Saffron dressing (can you tell we love saffron!)

~ SALADS -

- This Crispy Red Cabbage & Grape Salad is Luise's take on a traditional Danish salad.

+ Don't be deceived by the mundane look of this Black Quinoa, Apple & Kale Salad, it is still one of our favorites for an
easy kale salad. All thanks to the mustard vinaigrette which works so well with kale, Look for a grainy mustard.

+ Brussels Sprouts are not only good roasted, in this Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad we serve them thinly sliced with
hazelnuts and orange slices.

+ Not a conventional Christmas Salad but Roasted Pumpkin Salad is always a hit.

~ TREATS ~

+ This DELICIOUS Spiced Parsnip Cake is a sibling to a carrot cake with a rooty twist.

+ Ifyou need a break from baking, this Spiced Mocha Shake is your go-to hot drink. And this 3-minute Ginger Bread
Shake is a delicious cold version.

+ We made Saffron Buns, Xmas Tree Smoothies and Gingerbread Truffles together with our friends from Pom & Flora.
Find all the recipes here.

+ This Gingerbread and Lingonberry Bundt Cake is a stunner.

+ Super simple Dark Chocolate Christmas Mousse (scroll down for the recipe)

Okay, let's move on to today's recipe. Isn't this the most beautiful salad? It features stars like cinnamon roasted roots, saffron cooked millet, jewelry
pomegranate seeds, crunchy pecans and - the most trendy salad ingredient
of 2021(and 20222) - the pink Castelfranco radicchio.

You could also add some guest stars such as feta cheese and persimmon or orange slices.

We made a similar version for a client last year where we decorated the grains in a circle around the roots, it was also pretty. Click here to check out that recipe (in Swedish)!

Hope you make this. Tag us on Instagram if you do. Now we really need to get started on that gingerbread house.

Enjoy the holidays - Big love!
