I received a recipe from one of my favorite readers for Smoothies! YUM!

As I may have mentioned before, I did a test (accidental as usual) when I was sick several months ago. I found out I felt awesome (a huge difference) the next morning if I ate a vegetarian dinner the night before. Realizing how much of an effect my food intake has on how I physically feel, I think this sparked something in me, wanting to eat healthier.
For those who are interested in eating healthier too, I thought I would share this recipe with you. If I have a chance to make it to the grocery store this weekend (why does the good grocer have to be 45 min away?!!) I am going to try it out.

Here you are!

basic breakfast…

2 cups water
2 or 3 bananas
6 or large dates
2 tblspn raw almond butter (expensive, start with roasted almond butter)
2 tblspn raw tahini (sesame seed butter, good fats and protein content)
salt to taste (I use 1/4 t-spn)
1/4 lb or more leafy organic greens
1 tblspn Vitamineral Green Here is a list of ingredients: http://www.veganessentials.com/catalog/vitamineral-green-organic-whole-food-supplement.htm

Variations, sometimes I’ll and any of these:
mango, strawberries, any berry, nut milk, nut ice cream, carrob, cacao, nuts ( for crunch & protein, I do this often), hemp seeds (high protein), apple, well you get the idea…

*** Here are some suggestions he had regarding my new High Fructose Corn Syrup -Free diet… ***

Replacement for soda:

btw – I would use COLA to unclog the shop sink drain at my old job! That stuff is also great paint peeler!

1. Lemon aide is great year round
Water, lemons, honey, pinch of salt….sometimes I add a little cayenne pepper for a zing

2. Fresh juicy fruit always works!

3. Water is great stuff, add a bit of fruit for flavor.
