Juices

We have a lot of juices here. They can be any combination really, I just use whatever I have in the fridge. In the Thermomix, fruit and veg are pulverized not juiced so there is no mess to clean up and the whole food is used. This juice is orange, mango and grapefruit and it’s so frothy and delicious, not to mention GOOD FOR YOU!


Tofu Omelette

I bought some tofu to have in a miso soup that I made, Rich asked for miso so I made some this afternoon when he got home from work. It was SO good, just like one served at a restaurant but even more fresh and delicious. I had some tofu left over so I’ve cooked it into his breakfast omelette and today I slow roasted some garlic so he will have some of those as well. Yum! 

Crack 3 eggs into Thermomix jug, add a dash of milk and salt & pepper to taste. Mix for 6 seconds on speed 6. Spray baking paper with water and place the paper in the top tray of your varoma. Pour the mix on to the baking paper, sprinkle egg with tofu and rinse out your jug, then assemble thermomix. Pour water into the jug (approx 800ml) and steam your omelette on varoma for 15 minutes. I put some sliced tomatoes in the varoma too, and added some roast garlic to the plate to serve. 




Egg and spinach slice

This slice is delicious for breakfast or afternoon tea with a small salad. It's super good for you too.

Chop 1/4 onion, 1 clove garlic and a few rashers of bacon in Thermomix for 3-4 seconds on speed 6. Add 10ml oil and sauté for 3 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 1. Add 6 eggs, half mc of milk, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, salt and pepper and mix for 8 seconds on speed 5.  Pour in to small silicone quiche dish and cook for 15 minutes in your varoma. I sprinkled the top with cheese and put it under the grill once it was done to get a crispy crust, so tasty!


Breakfast Crunch

This little gem is a great addition to any cereal, porridge or with some yoghurt (recipes for quinoa porridge and yoghurt to come soon!). I give it to Rich in a small container with a spoon and he eats it straight from the tub throughout the day. 

In thermomix, chop a handful of cashews, dates, almonds, one green apple quartered and some sultanates on turbo for 3 or 4 short bursts. It's so tasty, kids and husbands alike will love it. I sprinkled some linseeds on the top too.
