Meal Substitution: Homemade Juice with Sweet Potato and Apples

I had always thought that potatoes were not a juicy vegetable and I was WRONG! 

Sweet potatoes are just like carrots, when you juice them you get a very sweet "floury" juice and very dry discard. Rich in potassium, perfect before or after exercise you're going to love this juice! 

For one person: 

3 Oranges

2 large Gala Apples

3//4 Carrots

1 large Sweet Potato

1. Thanks to my Champion juicer I only need to peal oranges. 

2. Cut everything into pieces that will fit in the juicer. 

3. Start with the apples, then juice the carrots, the sweet potato, save the oranges for last. 

4. For a refreshing juice, keep your fruit in the fridge. 

Enjoy!

Meal Substitution: Fruit Salad Smoothie - Real Italian Kitchen

Sometimes I make too much fruit salad and although it's still good to eat it just gets that brown look and it makes it not wanna eat it.
BUT I'm Italian and I hate seeing food thrown away, it's a waste of money and it's an insult to those who don't have any. So what to do with left over fruit salad?

MAKE A SMOOTHIE! I just add some orange juice, it doesn't have to be freshly squeezed, I like "Simply Orange" for example. I blend it well in the blender and it's ready to drink!

In a hot summer day this is one of my favorite kind of lunch!

To see how I make my fruit salad watch the tutorial right here :-)

Enjoy!
