I am getting a sense at how challenging it will be to make fresh smoothies on school mornings when I teach yoga. I am thinking that I will double my batch the day before and store one for the next day. Otherwise I will not have time to mix one up before I need to be out the door. And I find that I prefer to drink them solo in the AM rather than later in the day. Although, it would be the perfect lunch at school.
I continue to rave about the pineapple to everyone and I would have to say that carrot tops are my favorite green so far.
How are you doing?

I totally know what you mean about smoothin' before work. I am also going to make a batch and bring to the teacher's lounge for lunches. I have found that they are the perfect lunch for me. Filling and satisfying!! I have also found that i am buying a bit less unprocessed foods, and don't even have to think about lunch. It's refreshing!
ReplyDeletei did some research on the pea greens and this is a bit of what i found:
Making a bid to go mainstream are pea greens, the fragile leaves and tender stems and shoots of pea plants. These greens enjoy epicurean status in fine Chinese restaurants and are increasingly available in Asian grocery stores and at farmers' markets. Use the smallest, most tender greens raw in salads, or lightly wilt more mature pieces in stir-fry dishes and soups."
Well, i'm sold. i'll be doing a little 'garden cleaning' mission to my 2nd garden plot today to see if the greens are still hanging on. If so, i'll be blending those babies next...and stir frying some (just to experiment). I'll let you know how it goes.
Hope your blenders are working at full speed!!

Sprouts have always been eaten by vegetarians and holistic nutritionists who tout their anti-cancer effects. Now research back up the knowledge and shows that eating sprouts for just one month makes a notable difference in protecting against DNA damage (and, hence, cancer).
Broccoli sprouts, for one, are well known to harbor powerful anti-cancer phytochemicals -- far more powerful than any prescription drugs, in fact. Broccoli sprouts are an important nutritional tool for anyone battling cancer, and when combined with other superfoods like chlorella, they can actually reverse cancer and result in the elimination of cancer tumors.
You can eat sprouts in large quantities: the more, the better. They're "living food," too, which means they'll confer the benefits of enzymes and living food energy as well.
