Bitter Lemon Schweppes

More and more people die from liver cancer or heart disease these days due to :

  • too much stress
  • obesity
  • intestine problems due to too much red meat causing colon cancer (which most likely will give a person a secondary liver cancer)
  • food filled with pesticides

We only have one earth and we only have one life, that’s why health is out most important asset.

Obese people should follow a weight loss program on the spot.

And all of us should start eating organic food. Food supplements is again an illusion when there is real organic food available.

Tonic water digestive

My lime tree is giving me "tons and tons’ of organic lime these days, so I am trying to find new recipes…

Having a good digestion in mind and on the lookout for quick dinner recipes : I thought to make myself a homemade digestive…

I took 1 lime, didn’t peel it and threw it in the smoothie blender with some water and sugar.

The result was a green drink which at best reminds me on Schweppes tonic water.

Schweppes biter lemon

Although that could sound like a compliment, the first time I drank Schweppes as a little kid, I wondered why anybody even would think about drinking some bitter drink like that.

40 years later I re-invented the same bitterness: and the longer you leave the drink un-chilled, the more bitter it becomes.

So if you are lazy and have a poor digestion system: start your mean with this tonic water digestive look alike.

If you want a drink to enjoy during your dinner, change lime into calamansi lime: it does make a huge difference when it comes to less bitterness.

If you ever wondered why they call it Schweppes Bitter Lemon and not Schweppes bitter lime… most likely lime is the most bitter compared to lemon or calamansi lime after you blend it completely.

Peach Smoothie Recipe

What to do with peaches from the shop…

peach smoothieThis fruit smoothie recipe uses fresh peaches, and is a welcome idea to use the peaches from an abundant peach harvest if you have peach tress yourself in the garden. Yet it’s even a better idea when you just bought peaches from the shop: peaches that are a little bit sour…

When peaches are very sweet, then better eat them like they are! Or if you really want to make a smoothie with very sweet peaches: add some sourness with natural ingredients available like yogurt or sour oranges to keep your smoothie healthy.

If you do buy peaches from the shop: some peaches have little taste so don’t mix them with other fruit when making a peach smoothie to keep the peach taste in your smoothie!
