Pineapple Digestive Elixir

For a refreshing blend of electrolytes and nutrients that aid in digestion, try this combination of citrus, apple and carrots. The pineapple has the added benefits of bromelain, an enzyme that digests protein (from all those summer barbecues). Bromelain reduces inflammation, aids in digestion, reduces blood clotting and plaque build-up in the arteries, and helps with sinusitis.

Makes 16 oz

• 3-4 spears fresh pineapple (skin and stem removed)

• 2 apples (cored)

• 4 carrots

• juice from 1 lime

Juice all ingredients except the lime in your juicer. Add the lime juice at the end and stir. Enjoy!

Curried Potatoes and Peas

Adapted from TeaNY by Moby and Kelly Tisdale

This curry is a go-to for an easy yet satisfying meal. Just the right amount of spice, carbs and protein, which can all be altered to fit what you have on-hand.

We actually visited the TeaNY cafe in the Lower East Side when we were in New York - An amazing tea shop and vegetarian eatery. It did live up to all the hype :)

• 3/4 pound peeled potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces

• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

• 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 small yellow onion, chopped small

• 2 garlic cloves, very finely chopped or mashed

• 1 cup frozen peas

• 1/2 cup coconut milk

Boil potatoes until completely soft. In a separate bowl, combine salt, curry, cumin and coriander, and set aside. Heat the oil in a skillet at medium-high heat. Then add the onions, and cook until they are translucent. Add the onions, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and peas. Stir gently for 5 minutes. Add coconut milk, and stir until mixture is evenly coated. Enjoy!
