nourishing today - green smoothie and.. stinking sprouts (oeps!)..

green smoothie and todays art journal

I admit, Sometimes I beat myself at my own game. Like yesterday, I intended to make a pate out of the sprouted sunflower seeds..
But.. somewhere in the afternoon something was stinking. I thought that it was the fish package. I got rid of it.. I thought there were other things.. Only this morning, when I wanted to finally the pate, oeps!! I discovered that it was my seeds that were stinking as hell.. I realize now that I did not wash them enough and I did not love them enough.. If you do not want this to happen to your sprouts - ever - you maybe should purchase a better sprouting system.. If you are interested, let me know, I will tell you what you can best do.

So I did no pate yesterday or today.. I will sprout some more sunflower seeds and I will not let them go bad.. hopefully..

apple milk and green milk smoothie

When I asked today what kind of milk he wants (because I had almonds soaking over night), V. answered: "apple milk"..

Wow. haven't made that one before:-)

But because I am good at inventing recipes (see also the next blog post!!) I immediately saw in my mind what I wanted to put in it:-)

Apple milk:

almond milk 1.5l - look here how to make one if you need to - and than come right back for the rest of the recipe!:-);
bitsy bit of salt (pink Himalayan);
one tea spoon cinnamon;
one heaping spoon honey;
2 bananas.. peeled:-);
2 soft apples (not peeled, with seeds & all) (cut);
a decent piece of ginger (but not too big cause V. does not enjoy it much, something like 1.5cm cubic);
lecithin (1 heaping tb. spoon)

We thew in the Vitamix:

1 pear (one. whole.pear. seeds, peel & all)
1 orange (i peeled this one)
1 apple (this one again nope, see pear)
1 lemon (peeled)
350g lamb's lettuce
ginger ( big bit)
some mint I had left
water (peeled haha, gotcha! you actually read this!) (loved and filtered and 1 littered)

it was warm going to the Wednesday Organic farms market in The Hague, sweet.
