Thursday’s Raw Recipe

Finally-I found a green smoothie to my liking! If you have followed me at all here you will know how I talk about how horrible my green smoothies are. Well, no more. I have realized that I don’t like my green smoothies to be sweet. I prefer them to be more like green juice.

So, I have been filling my vita-mix at least 1/2 full with spinach, then a large handful of parsley, (the more the better!), an apple, the juice of 1 lemon, water,  and a scoop of sprirulina,  and sometimes a carrot or two. I am finally able to enjoy my green smoothies!

The only problem now is the cellulose texture and the separating of the cellulose and the juice. Any ideas, besides drink it fast?????

If you have a raw recipe to share you can add the link to your raw post in the comments or simply post the recipe in the comment section. Thanks for playing along!

Thursdays Quarter Recipe

Good Morning! I am not someone who gets up and eats breakfast right away. Sometimes 2 or 3 hours pass before I am ready to eat. When I have time I often make smoothies. I am working on making those green smoothies actually taste good. I make bad, bad green smoothies. But I recently found this site-with over 70 green smoothie recipes!!! So there is hope for me. Did I already link to this last week?  If so, sorry I am getting old!

Sometimes I just have plain fruit and sometimes I have museli. It is really expensive to buy but not too expensive to make your own. And you can customize it to your taste! I use a large container and start with raw oats and various nuts and or seeds. I usually use almonds, pecans and sunflower seeds. Then I add some dried fruit-I love raisins, some apples and strawberries that we dehydrated and cocoa nibs.  Shake it up!

I always add fresh fruit either berries, a grated up apple or a banana. I use almond milk from the carton-so technically not raw but very convenient for the 1/4 to 1/2 cup that really use. If you pour the milk and let it sit, the oats will soften some. I prefer it chewy. And I like to top it with lots of cinnamon.  Especially on chilly mornings.

Ginger-well she just prefers icicles!
