Mango Vegan Yogurt

Hello, everyone!


About last night, to sum things up, We had a wonderful potluck and exchange of recipes. Those shells...YUM! we had several soups, salads, dressings, brownies...so much food! Pizza! oh my (I know, sounds sinful, right?  Not at all)  Everything was vegan, low fat, heart healthy and tummy good. 


Great food and company. The short lecture was about GERD with a short Q&A session. Very informative.


Well,  our next meeting will be next Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.  We will have a "Breakfast Evening" so bring your dish and a copy/copies of your recipe to share.  Email me or Shakeela if you have any questions.


See you all there!


Here is the recipe I demonstrated last night:

Mango Yogurt

INGREDIENTS:

1 (12 oz.) firm tofu

2 cups frozen mango

1/3 cup raw cashews

½ cup mango juice

5 Tbs. Honey or agave nectar

1 Tbs. lemon juice

1/8 tsp. salt

1.       Blend tofu, mango and cashew nuts with the mango juice.

2.       While still blending, add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.

3.       Serve while cold. Keep the rest in the fridge.

Congratulations, Marlene!

Hi All,

I thought the follow-up meeting we had Tuesday night went well.  We had a soup and salad bar, a short talk on Diabetes by Dr. L.T. Gates and a short cooking demonstration. It was nice to see all of you who made it.

Just a reminder:

Our next meeting will be Tuesday May 15^th at 6:30 – 7:30 PM. Please bring a CHIP approved dish to share and copies of your recipe. We would like to begin eating promptly at 6:30 if possible. This way we can finish on time.

We will be weighing-in at the upcoming meeting so remember to get on the scale prior to eating.

We want to share Marlene's experience with you all and congratulate her. It is all about getting healthier and feeling great.


"...Yesterday a retirement party was held at our office for one of our staff. There were ribs from Famous Dave, I hear they are great. There was 2 types of chicken, including fried chicken, as well as corn bread, cold slaw, sweet rolls, cookies, banana cream pie, cupcakes and more. But there was also a large veggie and fruit tray also. Girl, I was so proud of myself. I was able to resist. I had a full plate of fruits and vegetables and felt great at the end... "

Way to go, Marlene!  We are very proud of you.

Blessings to all,

Shakeela and Mimi

Fruits and Vegetables Fresh and Natural Juice

Hello all,

This recipe is for a delicious juice. It is a very practical and easy to make recipe. One of my personal favorites. You can make it the night before a busy morning and store it in the fridge in a portable cup with a lid. It will be ready to grab and go the next morning.  Make sure to always stir/shake well before drinking it.  It is rich in fiber, antioxidants and vitamins!

Enjoy!
