Healing Treasure

I am a big fan of green. Especially, green by way of Chlorophyll (see my earlier blog post). So in that spirit, here are a couple of Verdant-hued beverages.

Here is a Green Shamrock Smoothie courtesy of Nicole of the blog, Nicole Raw and Awake

"You will need:

1 Apple

2 Frozen bananas

Handful of fresh cilantro

4 Leaves or more of Romaine lettuce

1 date1 tsp of vanilla

1-2 TB of Nutiva's Hemp protein powder (mine has fiber too)

A little water to help blend

Blend and Enjoy!"

And the 2nd Green Drink is a recipe i came across recently while browsing through GoneRaw. i am planning to make a modified version of it this evening. i am going to add some of this and a scoop of this. Will let you know how it turns out.

Here it is, the Green and Gone Smoothie (recipe courtesy of Christine):

"Ingredients:

1 quarter to 1 half fresh pineapple

3 leaves of Kale - I use deep green "dino" kale,

deveined1 ripe banana (can use frozen)

4 fresh mint leaves,

optional-to taste1 quarter to 1 half inch of fresh ginger root (can use dry),

to taste2 to 4 cups water

Preparation:
This makes from 32 to 64 fl oz.
Place all ingredients in blender.

Start out with only enough water to cover everything about half-way (allows it to blend to a creamy consistancy)

After all creamy, add more water to get to the thickness you prefer

YUMMY!NOW, DRINK UP!!!

Except for the color, which is an intense green if you use dino kale, you would never know it had greens in it !! Your body will love you for it !!"
