Además comida del West Star

Here on the West Star we've been doing some more blending and some more cooking. Inspired by the fresh veggies and fruits that Barra has to offer, we are keeping it simple and enjoying making colorful dishes with lots of flavor. Jason handles the cooking, I handle the blending and together we have a good handle on how to eat right here in Barra.

It's hot, it's humid, we're sweaty, which means it's time to rev up the blender and make some more smoothies.

Spinach, banana, mango and almond milk smoothie

 Don't let the spinach fool you, this smoothie is very sweet and creamy

Guava (skin left on), papaya, banana, lime and peach nectar smoothie

It doesn't show so well in the picture, 

but this smoothie has a beautiful peachy color

 Dinners have alternated between crisp salads and warm veggie dishes. 

 Grilled Tofu Salad with spinach, romaine, bell pepper, avocado, onion, tomato, grapefruit and a fresh grapefruit juice vinaigrette (Jason's yummy creation).

One night we wanted to get away from the Mexican dishes, so we went Indian. The star of this dish was the fresh green beans we had purchased at the market. 

This dish was a sort of Mexican ratatouille made with beautifully green zucchinis from the market. Topped with a bit of pineapple, this was an amazing and colorful dish.

All colorful food to match this very colorful place.
