Beet is an edible and fuchsia root. It is great, contains several minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium, among others, has a delicious sweet and special taste and can be used in both sweet and salty preparations. Personally, I love using the beet to prepare, in less than 5 minutes, this vegan sauce, perfect to make a healthy snack accompanied by some vegetable sticks.

Inspired by the American celebration of Independence Day, I prepared a few lime popsicle with fresh fruit, simple and tasty, to fight against this heat. I have chosen red and blue fruit thinking about the United States flag, but they can be prepared with the fruits that you prefer.

In summer, these popsicles are a fresh and healthy snack solution for both adults and children

The pancakes are a very typical breakfast in the United States, but they have become very famous all over the world;  this fluffy flour-based dessert is delicious, quick to prepare and can easily be made healthier. It is fantastic with butter and honey, but also with chocolate and fresh fruit.

To create today’s recipe I have been inspired in the Japanese pastry and its very spongy and green pancakes (usually for the matcha); my recipe is a little different, it is caffeine free so I have used kale powder to give it the green color and the bitter touch that the matcha has. It is accompanied very well with the Italian meringue or the rhubarb jam
