- I have a flush in my cheeks again so I'm not just a walking ball of pale. This happened within a day or two.
- It's a good way to get my seaweed without overly tasting seaweed.
- However, it is not successful at masking the flavor of my herb supplements if I open the capsules and dump in the contents. Fail.
- I do feel much more energetic and I stay full almost as long as eating eggs. (I'm considering adding hardboiled eggs to the mix. Frankensmoothie!)
- About a quarter cup of kefir seriously upgrades the smoothness and texture of a smoothie
- Soaking quinoa for 12+ hours in the kefir will not change the taste of the quinoa and leaves a little grain-grit in the smoothie. As I've just tried this today, I may repeat it tomorrow and try blending the kef-noa first before adding the fruit. Chia is the next seed/grian on my list to try.
- Chlorophyll comes out a similar shade it went in (just FYI)

Green drinks continued
I've been good, I've made a green smoothie almost every day since the first, and I've done a lot of experimentation with the ingredients. Here's what I've found thus far.

Have you tried Running Food™ milled chia? I have been using it in all of my cooking! It is a great soup/stew/pie thickener or “sprinkle” for finished foods. I searched chia on the internet and found that it has great health benefits and now I have personally seen significant results with my blood work, reducing my cholesterol (bad and triglycerides) and increasing the good! I don’t think that there is really a “taste” so it is easy to “sneak” into my 6 year old daughter’s food for added nutrition. Best part too, when I ran out, I ordered right on their website at www.runningfood.com and shipping ANYWHERE or QUANTITY is ONLY $5 and the products are made in a Green manufacturing plant that uses 100% renewable sources of energy (solar, wind, water), is Kosher certified and gluten free! My kind of company!
ReplyDeleteThis comment seems a little spam-ish (especially when you've only been on Blogger since, well, this month) but it actually contains useful and relevant information. Very "Constructive": http://www.xkcd.com/810/ (F-bomb aside.) I shall leave it up. :) Thanks for the tip.
