Simple Fruit Salad

I hope you all are fine and well! I've been seriously slacking on blogging recipes lately because I've been super busy. But that's no excuse cause I have to eat, right? RIGHT???? Yeah, I know, I have no excuses, except...

I've been really eating super simple meals and thought they were just too boring to bother to share...and if you follow me on facebook and twitter, then you know that I've also been eating out quite a bit too...*slaps hand---HARD!* But, no worries! I've had a major epiphany! This epiphany is to get me back on track as well as show you guys how simple some meals can be for those of us who think we just don't have the time to make a meal.

Here's a simple fruit salad I made last week...forgive the half eaten, unprofessional, non pretty photo. I took a pic as I was eating it and not before and it didn't dawn on me until a week later to actually post this on the blog, cause it just might help someone! Duh! (yes I can be a bit special at times) I promise to do better!

Simple Fruit Salad

So here's the ingredients:

• 1 organic pineapple (core included-I eat the core of the pineapple, but its purely optional)
• 3 lbs of organic strawberries
• 1 pint of organic blueberries
• about a half cup of goji berries (dried)
• shredded coconut - to taste

Chop into desired sizes throw it all in a bowl, sprinkle with goji berries and coconut shavings, and voila! An awesome fruit salad! This was a large bowl full and I thought I would have it for breakfast every day of the week, but it only made it for 3 days.

TIP: If you're worried about putting the "dried" goji berries in with the soft fruit...don't be! They will soften from the pineapple and strawberry juices and will be just like they were not ever dried at all! Try it! You'll love it!

The "Omega 8006 Inspiration" Juice

If you follow my facebook and twitter posts, I have been fantasizing of my dream juicer! Welp...today I finally got it! I got home from work and it was here! Wouldn't you know it, as "luck" would have it, its the end of the week and I'm low on supplies, so I literally took every single fruit and veggie in my fridge and juiced it! *smile*

I only had a couple apples, a bag of celery, 1 grapefruit and a slew of oranges...and yes it all got juiced! I I mixed it all together and came up with what I'm calling...*drum roll*...The "Omega 8006 Inspiration" Juice.

I was originally making this for my morning juice, but of course, I had to taste some of it, because I never mixed this blend together and was dying to see how this mix would turn out...so here goes...

The "Omega 8006 Inspiration" Juice

INGREDIENTS

• 1 grapefruit (peeled leaving the white on)
• 8 oranges (peeled leaving the white on)
• 2 gala apples (core removed/peel on)
• 1 small bag of celery

Makes 40 ozs

Put it all in your juicer and juice! 

As per the norm...No juicer? No problem! Blend in your Vitamix. Then strain through a nut milk bag or a paint strainer bag...and pour in your storage container. For detailed instructions on making juice in the blender click here.

This juice was so refreshingly delicious! I can't believe I never tried this mix before...its so good! It's sweet like orange juice with a faint hint of celery! Great for refreshing you after you've sweated yourself to death in a work out! I'll be making this again very soon!
