Summary: Fruit salad with cheese is one of my personal favourite combinations. It might sound unusual, but give it a try, and you will be surprised at how well it works. I love my fruit salads with cheese at any time of the day, from breakfast to a light lunch to a refreshing Summer starter to a post-workout snack to even dessert. A sure winner with children too. Again, putting pepper on fruits might sound odd, but the pepper really brings out the sweetness of the fruits and wonderfully rounds off the different flavours.
This one is a summer incarnation, when stone fruits are plentiful. Use any combination of plums, apricots, nectarines, peaches and cherries. I used the juice of half a blood orange to marinate the fruits in because I had one (the last of the season), but regular orange is great too. Thyme just goes really well with goats cheese, but basil works great too.
The key is to use perfectly ripe fruits, as they will be deliciously sweet ; halving and pitting the cherries takes a bit of time, but it is well worth the effort, believe me ! Leave a few cherries whole for decoration.
For a Vegan and Paleo version, replace the goat cheese with soaked almonds.

Summary: This is a simple adaptogen salad. Keep it simple for a starter or side dish, or add your favourite toppings (grated carrot and beetroot, sea vegetables, a little sauerkraut, sprouts, …) for a more filling meal.

Summary: Raw energy balls are a very popular snack, generally made from processing nuts or seeds with dried fruits, herbs, spices, superfoods, and then shaping the mixture into balls or flattening them into energy bars. Including vegetables into a sweet treat is a genius trick to help children and adults eat more vegetables, and these Raw Orange And Carrot Energy Balls are a great way to benefit from the health benefits of carrots : beta-carotene, antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, potassium, and more.
