My new favorite beverage at the moment belongs on the picnic table. It’s so easy to make your own vitamin water just by adding some fresh herbs, fruits and berries. Even veggies can be dropped down the jars. Drinking water with healing herbs and antioxidants from fresh berries is not only nutritious and delicious, it looks nice as well.

Here is the beach picnic recipes I promised. The sandwiches are delicious. All ingredients are picked up at the farmers market in Ojai. Why would I go all the way up there to shop for a picnic? Why not? 🙂 

I also picked up a freshly baked country sourdough for the sandwiches at one of the healthy eateries in town called “farmer and the cook”.  Nothing beats a good farmers market or delicious bread coming straight out of the oven for that matter. Enjoy!

The super healthy beach picnic is finally out in Real Living Australia. A beach picnic I did last summer with with Martin Löf and Foodjunkie.  Since it just hit the stores I will wait a little to post the recipes.  Stay tuned… the summer is just around the corner, really!

You guys know The Chalkboard Mag, right? In there you’ll get tons of daily inspiration, recipes, interviews and much more.   Anyway, we have lots of delicious persimmons right now and there is so many things you can make with them.  Here is one recipe i made for Chalkboard. A persimmon parfait with raw honey drizzle, yum!  Head over to theChalkboardMag and take a look. Superfood mornings!
