Banana - veggie - "power - sandwiches"

02/27/2014 20 min. preparation time 20 min. total time

This evening I had post - workout "power - sandwiches" with sticks of zucchini, carrots and cucumber, arugula and a cream of nine bananas, one big apple and four dates in lettuce leaves as "bread" with some sliced tomatoes.

If not stated otherwise then the amount of ingredients is for one meal, but this could still mean more than one serving of the pictured dish.

All fruits and vegetables have to be ripe. That's of the uttermost importance, only this way are they tasting yummy, are having all their essential nutrients in them and can be digested optimally by our body.

Preparation

Sandwich

Slice your ingredient for the Sandwich - "bread" (like celeriac or pumpkin) with your Mandoline - Slicer or a sharp knife
The key is to make it thin enough that you can bite it and think enough that it doesn't fall apart
Spread a layer of an other ingredient on your bottom slice of your "bread" (like sliced tomatoes, sliced cucumber or lettuce)
Put a bit of sauce on it
Spread an other layer
Add more sauce
Proceed as long as you want
Place the top "bread" on it

Cream

Put all ingredients for the cream in a high speed blender, like the Blendtec
Put some softer fruits in the blender first (like bananas) so it has something to "chew" on
Cut harder and large fruits into pieces and put them into the blender with some soft fruits
Blend ingredients at high speed
Blend longer if you want your cream warmer
