Yummy Green Smoothie

September 4th, 2009

Who says green smoothies have to taste bad? 

I sure don’t!

In fact, I’m on a mission to show you just how good a green smoothie can taste. When you combine the tremendous alkalinity and overall nutrition that greens provide, coupled with good taste, you just can’t go wrong.

Here is one my favourite green drinks:

Here are the ingredients:

kale
1/4 pineapple
1 banana
1 cup of berries (of your choice)
1 tbsp flax or fish oil
1 tbsp spirulina
2 cups water

Blend it all together and enjoy!

Spirulina and Orange Juice | Easy Raw Food Diet Recipe

September 3rd, 2009

Want a great raw food diet recipe to start the day?

Look no further than the following ingredients – spirulina and orange juice.

I just got in from a walk with the dogs and instead of wasting time trying to prepare something elaborate I made one of my favourite morning drinks.

Here’s what’s in it:

1 tbsp spirulina
5 oranges, juiced
1 tsp fish oil

It couldn’t be more easy. Just mix everything together in a glass and you’re golden.

In case you don’t know, spirulina is a fantastic source of GLA (gamma linoleic aci), vitamin A, and tons of minerals. It does wonders for your skin and overall health. It does have a bit of a “fishy” taste to it so that’s why combining it with fresh squeezed orange juice is so wonderful.

This is also a great drink for kids. Aside from the dark green colour, it’s a great way for them to associate good taste to something that is green and considered “yucky”!
