Typical Day at Burlingame Produce
Stop by and say hi! We have the best coffee in town. Ryan is the barrista for the day. Kirk and Chris offer high quality customer service.
- 2 apples
- 1 lemon
- 1″ slice of ginger
Juicing Tip: Juice the apples with their skins on. The skin is the most abundant area of the apple for flavonoid content. This will produce cloudy but more nutritious (and still delicious) apple juicer recipes. This healthy juicer recipe also makes a great remedy for colds.

Create an organic vegetable platter filled with color. Instead of pulling out salty and sugary treats for munching during family home movie night, create a simple and fun veggie platter. Feature a variety of colorful organic vegetables including grape tomatoes, carrot sticks, celery sticks and other organic veggies along with your family's favorite organic dressings for dipping. With flavorful dressings such as organic roasted garlic balsamic vinaigrette, kids will find eating vegetables much more appealing.
For a hearty snack, why not heat up a pre-made frozen organic pizza? They are full of flavor and super easy to prepare. Surprise your family with tasty organic pizzas such as margherita pizza, spinach-feta pizza or traditional pepperoni pizza.
Create a fresh fruit salad with organic blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and dark sweet cherries. Serve with a dollop of their favorite yogurt on top or drizzle fruit with a few tablespoons of 100 percent pure organic maple syrup. This sweet treat is not only yummy but is also packed with a tremendous amount of anti-oxidants for healthy deliciousness.
In a food processor, blend two cans of organic garbanzo beans, garlic, lemon juice and tahini to create a flavorful hummus recipe. Serve with organic cracked black pepper crackers or organic blue corn chips for dipping.
Make a platter of yummy nachos by layering organic tortilla rounds with cooked organic ground beef, melted organic cheese, organic blended black beans topped with sour cream and organic salsa.
Fill a blender with a variety of frozen organic berries such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and dark sweet cherries along with yogurt, ice, sliced banana and dash of 100 percent pure maple syrup for extra sweetness. Serve these refreshing fruit smoothies to your whole family, or prepare for the kids as an afternoon snack.
Here's a simple snack idea: Serve a variety of organic muffins such as organic banana nut muffins with a tall glass of fresh organic milk or organic soy milk. Simple, yet satisfying!
If you are looking for something quick yet fortifying to serve your family, why not have a bit of breakfast for lunch or dinner? Cereal, hot or cold, is eaten as a quick snack more often than you would think. With hearty organic cereals available such as crunchy vanilla granola, mango crisp and maple pecan you just might start a new healthy snack trend in your family. Don't forget to serve with organic milk!
Chips and salsa have long been a staple of American snack attacks. Now, organic chips including tortilla rounds, blue corn chips, black bean tortilla chips and spicy blue corn chips are available as a healthy alternative to tradional tortilla chips. You can feel good knowing you are eating natural corn, rather than genetically altered or chemically engineered corn. Organic salsas such as fire roasted chipotle salsa, thick and chunky salsa and peach salsa, are also available to add a healthy new twist to this favorite snack standard.
Since taking a trip to the kitchen often means taking time to grab a snack, make sure to have organic options available for your entire family. Along with having a bowl filled with healthy organic fruits, why not have organic animal crackers, ginger snaps or vanilla cream filled cookies on hand? Other organic snacks might include a fresh bowl of pre-popped organic popcorn or organic cinnamon apple sauce cups. Also make sure to stock the fridge with plenty of organic juice options such as organic pomegranate, blueberry, or white grapefruit juice. Having items in view and easily available will entice family members to make natural choices when snack attacks strike!
