Vegetarian Lentil and Chickpea Meatballs with Lemon Pesto Recipe on Food52

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

I love meatballs of all kinds, and these are one my favorites. They are really healthy, but you wouldn’t know it when you eat them. It’s perfect for summer when I don’t want to have the stove on a long time and heat up the kitchen. The lemon pesto is great on all sorts of other things as well, and I like it as a dipping sauce for veggies in summer. A nice hit of citrus really brightens up the meatballs too.

Health & Wellness | Stay Hydrated This Summer With This Watermelon Green Juice

This watermelon juice has loads of fresh, hydrating greens like cucumber, romaine lettuce, and celery, not to mention our superfood friend, kale! Plus, it’s got lime and watermelon to sweeten it up and hydrate the body. Next time you need something refreshing, give this a go.

Watermelon Green Juice
Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 1 small-medium head of organic romaine lettuce
  • 3 cups cubed watermelon
  • 1 cucumber (peeled if not organic)
  • 2 small limes (peeled)
  • 5 stalks of organic celery
  • 5 stalks of organic kale

Directions

Wash and prepare all of your produce, cutting to fit your juicer’s shute if necessary.

Start by juicing your romaine lettuce. If your juicer has settings, use the lowest one for the lettuce.

Then, juice the remaining ingredients.

Fresh juice is best immediately after you make it; however, it will pack a good nutrient punch for up to 24 hours after it’s made if stored in an airtight container, filled to the very top, and sealed with a lid. (Sometimes I’ll add a little water if I don’t have enough juice to fill it to the top.) Mason jars with resealable lids work great for this.

Store in your refrigerator.
