The Shiny Book of Green Smoothies!

17/11/2013

I am so so happy and excited to tell you: it's out and ready!

Ta ta raaa taaaaa!

My (free) Shiny book of Green Smoothies is ready for download.

It's totally yours, for free.

It's based entirely on my own experience of 3 plus years drinking at least 1l green smoothie every day.

I wrote it short and to the point so that if you and/or a friend want to start with drinking green smoothies (or want to know why that would be good for you), you could read it in a day and have a strong base for whatever your decision will be, yay or nay.

Ok, I have to admit, I am slightly for Green Smoothies :-)

2 lemons - peeled and cut in pieces;
2 (red) oranges - peeled and cut in pieces;
a big bunch (really huge) flat leaves parsley - around 200g;
spinach - around 200g;
ginger 2cm;

This one tastes a bit sweet - it might be the parsley..:-)

It made a lot of foam by the first blending because there is not so much solvable fruit in there.

Really delicious and fresh one!

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

22/3/2013

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..

today's green smoothie

today's green smoothie:

one big cucumber (sliced)
2 lemons (peeled and sliced)
some stevia leaves (because I had plucked my stevia plant) (not enough to have a significant taste influence but I like stevia leaves aroma)
some mint leaves I had left
3 celery sticks (cut) (also leftovers:-)
150 spinach (today is market day and I did not have more than that any more)
ginger (2 cm)
water (filtered and loved)

nourishing today - apple milk and green milk

8/3/2013

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)
