Avocado Walnut Dressing for Carrots

You think you are not eating enough carrots? Well, some more surely wouldn't hurt. Eating carrots always seems like a good idea to me, but apart from the occasional one that I just snack without any preparation, I don't eat that many to be honest. I don't like cooked carrots, so my only option is carrot salad. As part of my new "eat more carrots"-project, I have created a nice dressing, that is fully HiFi, so you can drown your carrots in it without control.


(Takes about 10 min)

You need:
- a hand blender
- a mandoline
- about 4 medium-size carrots
- 1 avocado
- 1/4 cup of walnuts
- 1/8 cup of sesame seeds and a seed grinder or 2 tblsp of tahini
- 1 orange
- 1 lemon
- 1 piece of garlic
- 1 piece of ginger
- 1 piece of chilli
- no salt (seriously, you don't need any)

You do:
Cut the carrots into small sticks using the mandoline. Grind the sesame seeds into a paste with a seed grinder. Put the sesame paste and the other ingredients into a tall container and blend until smooth. Mix the dressing with the carrots. Enjoy.

Omega Thrice-Cream

Walnuts are one of the foods richest in omega-three fatty acids. Why not combine them with some frozen fruits and make some HiFi sugar-free vegan ice-cream?

You need:
- 1 cup of walnuts
- 4 frozen bananas
- 3 oranges
- 500g of frozen mango pieces

You do:
Peel the oranges and blend them until smooth. Add the bananas and blend again.  Stir in the frozen mango pieces and let it sit for a few minutes so that the mango can defrost and doesn't ruin your blender. Add the walnuts. If you like some walnut chunks, blend it only for a moment. If you want smooth ice-cream blend longer.

If you eat a quarter of the ice cream you just made, you have your daily requirement of essential omega 3 fatty acids, so dig in - it's good for you!

By the way: the powder used for decoration is carob powder and ginger powder.

P.S. This ice cream hasn't been engineered to be smooth right out of the freezer, so if you keep it in the freezer, you need to take it out about 10min before you eat it.
