\"Sunray-bathed\"SonnenIt\u2019s always summer somewhere on this planet of ours. Isn\u2019t that a comforting thought? No matter how cold and rainy it is outside, I could snatch a flight ticket anytime and escape to a better place.\u00a0Only a couple of hours later I would find myself sitting on a Sri Lankan beach,\u00a0soaking up the sunshine with all my thirsty cells.<\/p>\n

So far I didn\u2019t have a reason to escape\u00a0to the South though. The weather forecast here looked amazing. February has been kind to us Istanbullus: Sunshine for days with my winter coat tucked neatly back into the closet and farmers\u2019 markets back in full bloom. In place of a piping hot bowl of oatmeal I was craving a light breakfast, so I came up with this sunray-bathed little fellow. The sourness of the kiwi tickles your nose, young nettle leaves get your body in the right mood\u00a0for a spring cleanse, while the avocado dives in to give it all a silky-smooth texture. Before you know it, you are holding another love letter to this wonderful sugar-free life right in your very own hands. This is how delicious\u00a0breakfast can be, once you\u2019ve banished those sugar-loaded cereals from your world.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t you sometimes feel grateful for fructose malabsorption making you eat better than ever before?! I sure do! \ud83d\ude42<\/strong> \u2013 Tweet that<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then, three days ago, it happened again, winter returned to the Bosphorus: Untamed snow flakes dancing outside our window, heaters turned up to the fullest and my happy self with a hot soup in front of me. Enough with all that premature praise of Istanbul\u2019s weather, for now. What remains is this lush little messenger of warmer days ahead. Summer is bound to return any moment now. I promise!<\/p>\n

Kiwi-Avocado-Nettle-Cr\u00e8me (fructose-friendly, vegan, gluten-free)<\/strong>
\nDepending on the ripeness of your kiwi this fruit cr\u00e8me might turn out a bit sour. If you prefer to remain on the sweeter side, add half a banana to the mix.
\nAlso, if you don\u2019t own a high-speed blender, try this little #smoothiehack. Use your immersion blender and start blending with as little added liquid as possible. That way you won\u2019t end up with huge chunks of leaves in your smoothie. If you add the liquid in the beginning it would turn into a mission impossible.<\/p>\n

For one small glas<\/strong>
\n1 hand full\u00a0of young nettle leaves with seeds
\n1\/2 hand full of fresh mint leaves
\n1 kiwi, peeled
\njuice of one 1 lime
\n1\/2 avocado
\n1 tbsp\u00a0chia\u00a0seeds
\nWater
\nAdd-ons: Hemp seeds and bee pollen (not vegan)<\/p>\n

Clip nettle leaves from their\u00a0stems with a scissor\u00a0and wash.\u00a0Be careful not to sting yourself.\u00a0Put in your high-speed blender together with mint leaves, kiwi and lime juice. In case you use an immersion blender like me, add everything to a tall bowl like the ones that usually come in the same box as your\u00a0blender\u00a0and blend until smooth\u00a0(see note above).
\nAdd avocado and chia seeds and blend again. Slowly add water until creamy and smooth. Pour into a glas top with hemp seeds and bee pollen and serve.<\/p>\n
