Mmm, Smoothie

Peach Kefir Smoothie: I call this a smoothie even though its really just peach kefir, because it's refreshing like a smoothie. The kefir has just enough tang to be refreshing while the peaches don't bombard you with sweetness. All my measurements are rough because I just eyeball it. If it tastes good then you've done it right.

About 8 ounces Helios Vanilla Kefir (low fat kefir will probably feel the best)

About 1 ounce Pureed tinned Peaches

Stir the two together and enjoy.

Heres the main event gastronomically speaking; Greek Quinoa Salad.

I can't take full credit for this as a friend introduced me to the recipe but I did tweak it a bit by adding tomatoes instead of red pepper and using sheep's milk feta. Once again all the measurements are approximate because I don't actually measure.

1 cup quinoa made with chicken broth instead of water

6 kalamata olives

2 cherry tomatos

2 tablespoons sheep's milk feta
