Breakfast
Lemon Poppy Seed Ice Cream with Strawberry Sauce
serves 2 ~ $1.10 per serving
ingredients
- 4 bananas, sliced and frozen ($.60)
- juice and zest of one lemon ($.69)
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds ($.30)
- 1 cup strawberries ($.45)
- 1 tablespoon agave ($.10)

Banana ice cream is wonderful. And it’s amazingly simple to make with just a food processor.
The
strawberry sauce should be made first and set aside. In a bullet type
blender, puree the strawberries and agave until very smooth.

In
a food processor fitted with an “S” blade, process the frozen bananas
and lemon juice and zest until creamy like soft serve ice cream. It can
take a bit of prodding and scraping to get the bananas going in the
food processor, but it’s worth it. Once creamy, add the poppy seeds and
give a whir or two to incorporate.

Lunch
Carrot Avocado Soup
2 servings ~ $1.69 per serving
ingredients
- 1 avocado, chopped ($.78)
- 4 carrots, peeled and chopped ($.40)
- 2 ribs celery, chopped ($.30)
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped ($.10)
- 1 clove garlic, pressed ($.05)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons olive oil ($.40)
- 1 1/2 cups water for blending
- 1/2 medium tomato, finely chopped($1.25)
- 1 green onion, sliced ($.10)
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
This soup is more hearty than I expected … quite robust and
satisfying, and super simple to make. Coarsely chop all the ingredients
to make blending easier. In a blender, add everything but the tomato and
scallion and teaspoon olive oil. Puree for a few to several minutes
until very smooth. In some blenders, the soup will start to warm up a
bit as it processes.

Dinner
Mango Salad
serves 2 ~ $2.32 per serving
ingredients
- 1 mango, diced ($.98)
- 1 avocado, diced ($.88)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped ($.20)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil ($.20)
- 1 tablespoon agave or other sweetener ($.10)
- juice of one lime ($.69)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 bunch leaf lettuce ($1.69)
- microgreens
I also love sweet and spicy
together, like the mango and cayenne that tops this salad. For this
salad, I chopped the avocado, mango, and onion, and added the olive oil,
agave, lime juice, salt, pepper, cayenne, and red pepper flakes. I
mixed this well and let stand and somewhat marinate for a few minutes.
Then I spooned it over a bed of leaf lettuce and dandelion greens. I
planted the microgreens in a flat with an inch or so of potting soil and
snipped them off about 8 days later and added a mound on top.
