Maintaining health is an important part of our work here so that we have the strength & stamina to do what is before us every day. This is an area where we have to be very intentional since there are so many challenges to personal health in this part of the world. There are no fast-food options, and a limited number of restaurants where we can safely eat and even fewer that can ensure gluten-free, dairy-free options for Bob’s dietary restrictions. This results in our personal responsibility to plan and prepare meals that will build our strength and immune systems.
We have been to the Blue Heron Restaurant in Arusha many times. On some days, they prepare something that they call “Health Drink.” So, we decided to try it at home. . . sweet passion fruit (in the picture. Don’t look closely--I had been in the rain.), carrots, cucumber, and one beet. Believe it or not, it's very tasty and refreshing! Definitely a pick-me-up.
