Does anyone know of any good but healthy recipes I can use with...?!
Hi,
I'm thinking the reason why I'm tired all of the time is because I don't eat enough fruit and vegetables!. Does anyone know of any good recipes, of course, not involving all of this at once but some good recipes I can make with some of these!.!.!.
Oranges
Green apples
Pineapple
Watermelon
Spinach leaves
Carrots
Strawberries
If you do know of any good things I can make out of some of these, may you please tell me!? If you are able to, can you also tell me what would taste really good together as a smoothie!?
Thankyou so much!Www@FoodAQ@Com

My son was sick last week and I made him a fruit salad!. I used fresh strawberries, cantelope, bananas and jarred mango slices!. I cut all the fruit into bite size pieces and used the mango juice which was in a light syrup!. It was awesome!. Pineapple and watermelon would've been good too!.
For the spinach; use fresh baby spinach, sliced mushrooms and sliced onions!. Sprinkle croutons is you wish and try Ken's Raspberry and Walnut Vinaigrette!. It's amazing!.
Carrots can be cut into coins or shredded like cheese and cooked in the microwave with a bit of butter and salt and pepper!. So sweet!.
Good luck and enjoy your fruit and veggies!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Mix with a little olive oil and microwave for about 3-5 mins!. In a skillet, cook any kind of bfast meat!. I personally love sausage!. Add potatoes, onions, mushrooms till cooked!. Then add a couple of cups of fresh baby spinach!. It will wilt down a lot!. Top with your choice of cheese!. Sooo good!. I sometimes add sliced tomatoes too if I have them on hand!. Salt and pepper to taste!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Hi: Great fruits and vegetable selectons, but if you are feeling run down, check on these things: Are you under a lot of stress, do you have an underactive thyroid (feel tired and cold, with dry skin), and the obvious - are you staying up too late at night and not getting enough sleep!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
