Today, we focus on vegetable shakes, which will serve as the first course, entrée, or starter of my main meal. The main course, Grilled Turkey, will follow soon.

A few weeks ago, we started the series “If You Work from Home,” aimed at those who have little time to prepare their daily food. We began with breakfast.

Today, we continue with the next meal, regardless of the time you have it. I usually work and engage in other activities all morning on just muesli (I may have an apple or two if I feel hungry), then take a “siesta” before going for my second important meal. When I’m at home and haven’t planned to dine out, I have a shake—one of my vegetable shakes.

To prepare vegetable shakes, just follow the visual instructions. I do not add olive oil or salt, but you can if you wish, as well as vinegar. You can also add various other ingredients and spices as you prefer.

You must count the calories according to the table listed below, as everyone may use different quantities of ingredients. This is the moment to use the scale again if you are in the middle of a weight loss process. If you add extra virgin olive oil, remember not to use other types of oil, as their properties are quite different. Keep in mind that every gram of oil adds 9 calories to your dish. Do the same with other products you might add by consulting any calorie table.
