smoothied


the last five months, i've been exploring raw food/superfoods. i'll never switch completely to raw food, but i'm all with the idea of keeping the nutrition value as high as possible by processing the food as little as possible. and wow - the sweets of this diet is amazing! i'm completely hooked on raw cacao. i think i'll have to post some recipes soon, you really have to try it.
in the morning, i usually make myself a big mix (500 grams) of vegetables and salads mixed with some grapes, avocado, seeds and bits of organic parmesan. i eat about half of this for breakfast, then have the rest for lunch along with a soft boiled egg or a cracker. alternatively, i'll have a smoothie for lunch.
this here smoothie consists of fresh spinach, pomegranate seeds, sprouts, a little bit of broccoli, frozen berries, mango, freshly juiced apple and carrot, and a dose of spirulina powder, shelled hemp seeds, goji berries, flax-, pumpkin-, sunflower- and sesame seeds. there wasn't need for any extra liquid in this one, but if there were, i would use additional apple juice or rice milk.
and the taste? let's just say that you've done something right when your kids consider spinach smoothie to be a snack :)

I just found your blog through the Rhythm of the Home post. Wonderful! I'm following your blog now. I was 100% raw for 2.5 years and it was amazing. Now, I eat some cooked foods, but all vegan. It definitely makes a difference.

Wow! Did you follow a recipe for that smoothie or wing it? I'd love to know the amounts of ingredients you usedd

Amanda, I never use a recipe, so my smoothies are never the same. Sometimes that's fine, sometimes it's dead annoying, LOL. I ususally taste while making it, adding new stuff to make it the way I like it.
