nourishing today - green smoothie with kale and sunflower sprouts

21/3/2013

green smoothie today: kale leaves, pumpkin seed butter, mango
Today a special one:
  • 1l cocos water (not so raw today cause pasteurized.. but I love it's taste and could not buy the coconuts so decided to use it);
  • mango - the exterior half, with peel and a bit of flesh;
  • 1 tb. spoon pumpkin seeds butter (organic and pure but also not raw);
  • a few big kale leaves without stem (a new soort, I found it at the bio-market yesterday, please see the vid below for more info about kale);
  • two hands-full sunflower sprouts (also see the vid)
  • 2 lemons (peeled and chopped)
  • 1 orange (peeled and chopped)
  • around 100g lamb's lettuce;
  • a bit of water to fill the Vitamix

This one was a total experiment but you see, if I find or have new exciting ingredients I want to use them all in the same time..:-) See the vid below for how I prepare the kale, as well as a visual of the sun flower sprouts.

It was a great experiment and the taste was.. well, powerful:-)

A bit too much, actually.. 

So I drank one liter of it as was..

..and to the second liter I added:
  • some more water, to make the consistency more drinkable (the first batch was very thick)
  • one banana (yes, peeled)
  • 4 cardamon seeds to cut the very powerful taste of the sprouts (in case you do not know, cardamon seeds have also a very special flavor, taste it first.. the seeds are even more powerful than the cardamon powder so that is why I added only 4..)
  • big piece of ginger (3cm)


And yes, this second batch was seriously more drinkable than the first:-) 
Still, I loved both:-) Yum!
