So, my lovely friend Rachel is doing what she has dubbed "365 Project Green Drink" where she'll concoct and post the recipe to a green drink every day for the next year. That got the brain cogs turning. Then last night as I was deciding what to take to read during, I ran across a very thin pamphlet I bought years ago and never read, called "Midwifery & Herbs". I poked through it curiously and ran across a section titled "Anemia and Chlorophyll". This piqued my interest since I've been prescribed chlorophyll before for the treatment of anemia. From the anecdotes shared in the section, I realized how quickly it works in building blood and decided to give it another go, knowing I had a bottle in the fridge.
The only problem with chlorophyll (for me) is the intensity of its "green" flavor. So, vague inspired by Rachel, I decided to raid the fridge for frozen fruit and orange juice. So here's my "recipe"
2 "bunch"es of frozen strawberries
1 "bunch" of frozen peaches
6-8 chunks of fresh watermelon
1 1/2 small bottles of OJ
2-3 pours of chlorophyll until the mixture turned a nice dark-medium green
I know, so precise. That's how I roll. Either way, the fruitiness was sufficient to mask the chlorophyll flavor, and I'm now considering an experiment with dried seaweed in a similar application for the iodine content. Yum! Thanks, Rachel!
