Tomatoes are a great ingredient for a healthy smoothie recipe because of their antioxidant properties. Men in particular should add tomatoes to their diet to help prevent prostate cancer.

We are all trying to eat better, especially as we get older.  The key ingredient here is fresh ginger or ginger-root.

Some more reasons you may wish to increase your ginger consumption.

Wanna feel better than you have in years? Try this delicious smoothie to start your day. These ingredients not only get you off and running with your daily goals for fruits and vegetables but they also alkalize your body. This simply means neutralizing the acids in your system and has been shown to dramatically improve energy and overall well being. 

This is a GREAT recipe and every time i make it I have someone emailing me asking for the recipe. The great thing about this recipe is that the beets continue to marinate in the vinaigrette and are still delicious, perhaps even more so, a couple of days later.

If you haven't yet been seduced by a vanilla scented apricot garnished with lavender, then perhaps you haven't experienced the most elegant side of this precious little fruit. It's a simple pleasure you won't soon forget.

In this recipe ground flax seeds are used instead of breadcrumbs as a filler. The mucilagenous property of these seeds also helps the cakes stick together. These delicious baked salmon cakes can be enjoyed as a main course with vegetables or a salad, or as small bite sized appetizers.
