It is not easy to cook during the summer. Also, when the temperature is going up, we do not feel that hungry like during the winter session. Then, salads are prefect for you. However, not everyone will be happy just about the vegetables on the plate. That is why I like to add grain as a base in the salad. In this one, I added cooked millet, what will make the meal more than just salad. Making my salads I like to play with the ingredients and mix both salty and sweet flavors. So, I put baked sweet potatoes and cranberries, which make the salad taste really unique.
If you haven’t used cooked millet before, it’s a great gluten-free grain. Millet makes the dish gluten-free and it also a great option for vegan. Just as with quinoa or lentils, it can easily be batch-cooked for the week or whipped up in about 15 minutes.
Ingredients:
1 cup of millet
1 sweet potato
coconut oil to spread on the pan
3 handfuls of baby spinach
½ red onion
1 handful of walnuts
1 handful of cranberries
Dressing:
Lemon juice from ½ lemon
2 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Directions:

There are many benefits of drinking smoothies from fresh vegetables and fruits.

•helping with weight loss
•your body gets detoxed
•you will feel more energetic

Also, smoothies are amazing if you want to make your children to eat more vegetables and fruits. I am sure, they are not going to refuse making and drinking colorful smoothies, because it is a lot of fun.
What is great about smoothies is that blended fruits and vegetables contain a lot of fiber, so you will feel full. Also, because of green vegetables, the smoothie will give you more energy – this is what do I like the most about drinking smoothies. I do not need to drink coffee. Smoothie between breakfast and lunch or after workout is the best way to boost your energy level.
What do you need to make green smoothie?
As a base, you can use spinach, lettuce, kale and collard greens. I am also a huge fun of fresh parsley. The herb has a good influence on your skin. It helps heal wounds, has anti-aging benefits, and even helps prevent acne. Parsley contains many minerals for instance calcium, potassium, manganese, copper, and zinc – which are essential for maintaining healthy skin.
Next, just combine fruits as bananas, apples, pears, avocado, mango, pineapple, papaya whatever you like.
To make it healthier, add spirulina or chlorella powder. Spirulina and chlorella are green algeas which have a lot of protein. I like to add it to my post workout smoothies. You can buy it online or in every healthy store.

Summer is coming! We all can feel that. During the hot days, you should remember about drinking more water to stay hydrated. But what if you do not feel like drinking water? Fresh smoothie is always a good idea. Smoothies made from fresh veggies and fruits are full of vitamins and right nutrients. They are very easy and quick to make.
