Autumn is apple picking season. In and around Luxembourg you will find many apple farms which you can vistit until early November and pick apples with your children. Those locally grown apples are not only very tasty, they’re also very healthy. I’m sure you’re familiar with the phrase: an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Apples are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients. But it’s important to leave the skin on since a lot of those nutrients are in the skin. My kids like to eat fresh apples with the skin on, but they don’t like them when they get brown. I used to put apples in their lunchbox, but they often sent them back since they were brown by the time they had their lunch. By dehydrating the apples, you can serve them to your kids in their lunchbox, on the road, or just in between. My kids love them so much, they are often gone the minute they are ready. These apple chips are a great and healthy snack option for you and your family.
In this smoothie I used two powerful ingredients: Orange & Turmeric. Last week I travelled to Mallorca with my family and half way into our vacation, I started to feel really sick. I came down with a nasty flu, can’t remember being so sick! I couldn’t enjoy the rest of the trip and had to stay in bed most of the time, luckily we had a kids-club. 😉 Now back home, still not feeling perfectly well, I looked for the most powerful immune boosting ingredients, and this smoothie recipe is the result.
