By Stanka Vukelić Photo: Stanka Vukelić Home Made Coconut Milk The milk is made from coconut flour and water. Due to its rich and creamy consistency, it can be used as a really good milk substitute.

Healthy smoothie recipe: Fennel fronds, bananas, and pineapple
By Stanka Vukelić Photo: Stanka Vukelić Healthy smoothie recipe Here’s a wonderful, tasty, and healthy smoothie recipe for your breakfast or snack – great idea to energize you for the day. A smoothie is a total meal in a glass, with alkalinizing greens, plenty of ripe bananas and pineapples, to get a smooth creamy sweetness. We are big smoothie fans, and like to drink – at least – one a day. For doing so, we sometimes buy 10 pineapples, and we cut them all at once, and put them into a freezer, packed into convenient little bags (reusable), which serve as a basis for making two smoothies, in which we add some bananas and some greens like fennel fronds.
