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..

green smoothie

Today's smoothie:

• 6 big kale leaves (the new kind, if you did not see my special kale, please look here at yesterday's green smoothie);
  
• 2 lemons (peeled and cut)
• 2 appels (with peel and all)
• 1 banana (yes, peeled :-) )
• lots of water (filtered with Brinta and loved by Ama)
• the rests of a cucumber and some peer left overs from yesterday
• ginger (to taste)

Today I  really wanted something light and more liquid because yesterday my smoothie was a bit more die hard than I even can drink.. 

And there is a lesson for me and for us all maybe in this: to keep it up with a (healthy!) habit you have to like it. To do a green smoothie everyday I have to make it easy to drink and not think like blaaaargh, just another day's green stuff. 

My green smoothie must be tasteful and drinkable, beautiful and with a good texture. 

I will chew it, of course (that is a good idea with all smoothies and juices!), but I do not want any chunks in it..:-) First principle of green smoothies: Thou shall like it:-)
