Recipe

 ~A small splash of organic Unfiltered Apple Juice

~3 slices of Fresh Pineapple

~1 handful of Organic Spinach

~1 large pinch of Pea Shoots

~1 small Persian Cucumber

~Big squeeze of Lemon to top off - in the glass

I threw this drink together this morning and I loved it! So I thought "I better BLOG about this and what I've been up to".

 I have been be trying to make a green drink (mostly green veggies with an apple being the only piece of fruit) most days... My husband "our smoothie maker" makes a smoothie at least Evey-other day for all of us to enjoy in the morning! Lots of frozen fruit i.e. berries, hemp protein, hemp seed, coconut milk, frozen bananas and raw cacao. I think he may add cucumber now as well, it makes it really fresh. 

 I wanted to lessen my sugar intake and up my green intake so I started making a green drink In my Vita-Mix Blender. I did research around to see what people were putting in there's... but I do best with playing around and just tossing in what I have. I make it a point to try keeping some fresh ginger and organic celery in the house other than my normal staples i.e. spinach, different kinds of lettuces and bell peppers with color (I Don't do the green ones), cucumbers, parsley, pea shoots or micro greens.

 On a side note when you're at the market and see things like sprouts, pea shoots or micro greens pick them up! They are a powerhouse of nutrients, so add them to salads, stir frye's, wraps and green drinks!!!

 I like to call my green drink "salad in a blender" whatever you have toss in there blend and drink! Some people think it looks bad... it tastes pretty good, add some Cayenne and lemon juice for a kick and your on your way to better health, feeling full and reduced cravings! Use recipes and blogs as a guideline for ideas- be creative and experiment! I love these around 4PM in the afternoon! :)
