Berry Smoothie

Made a big batch of vegan chilli- veggie mince fried in Marmite and cumin, tin of kidney beans, onion, garlic, tin of chopped tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, green chilli and chilli powder. Leftovers went into the tacos.

The berry smoothie is fresh wheatgrass juice, beetroot juice, carrot juice and orange juice and blueberries, blackberries and blueberries. The sharpness of the berries sort of takes away from the taste of the wheatgrass, so it wasn't like drinking pondwater.

I've just watched The Secret. I read the book yonks ago. The DVD is so funny, not sure if it's intentional or not! I started reading Wallace Wattle's Science of Getting Rich a long time ago too, but the repetition drove me a bit crazy and couldn't progress past the seventh chapter or so. The Secret is a lot more reader/user friendly. It's nice. I like the idea of it.

Went to a veggie meet at the weekend in Claremont Gardens, Esher. Claremont is a lot smaller than I thought, about the size of Osterley Park. A lady there gave us a tour of its history, most of which went over my head as I don't find the royal family very interesting. I didn't see any unusual wildlife there, but there were lots of geese and mandarin ducks. I took my lunch- Holland & Barrett vegan chorizo lattice pasty, Gourmet Raw cocobanana brownie and some coconut water. The chorizo pasty was very nice, probably the best vegan pasty I've had from H&B. The raw brownie was good, but it was a bit pricey (just under £3) probably because of its chunkiness. I ate the whole thing in one go, but it was easily 2 servings as it was so filling, so maybe if I was less greedy, it would work out good value for money.

I really like finding new raw goodies. I got this from Food For Thought in Kingston- they even had chia!
