I miss from the UK when I am in Turkey is smoothies...and i'm not talking those innocent smoothie crap ones, I mean proper, green, healthy, full of veg smoothies.
It took me a long time to get the courage to try adding some spinach into my ordinary smoothie but when I did, wow, the after effects were amazing!
Since then I have slowly been adding more and more green stuff to my regular smoothies.
My favourite receipt is below
1 glass of oat milk (chocolate oat milk is delicious)
half glass of coconut water
half a cucumber peeled
1 small head of broccoli
shot of wheatgrass
80g of raspberries
80 g of spinach (I take the stalks off)
Put all your liquids in first, then add the fruit and veg and blend for a min and voila, you've got a sweet, healthy, green smoothie. The chocolate oat milk really helps if you don't like a particulary veggie smoothie.
I do however love the breakfasts here in Turkey and no matter how hard I try, I can never recreate them at home. Our veg is no where near as good as Turkish produce.
I have been gifted a french press and a bag of coffee from a dear friend who has just left Turkey so now I can have coffee to my hearts delight, no kettle so am having to boil the water on a good old fashioned stove.
Fresh peaches and fresh coffee, what more could I want in the morning!
Another thing I am loving at the moment is the freedom, the freedom to get up late, sunbathe all day, or do yoga. My day goes something like this
9.30am wake up
10.30am go meet Ramazan for a coffee, work until 1.30
1.30-4.30 we go for a cycle, swim, sleep, snooze, shop
5pm work for a bit, maybe watch an episode of sex and the city
7pm yoga on the balcony
9pm go for dinner
1am Meet Ramazan after work and get an ice cream
Can life get more perfect?
