a trio of smoothies.

3 cups of water, 2 apples and 2 pears and the greens (and stems) from one bunch of beets made 3 portions of this not-so-green green smoothie!

the tops of a bunch of carrots,  3 cups of water, 1 plum and a couple handfuls of frozen plums, 1 sprig of mint and 1 apple made up this smoothie for 3! 

a few leaves of kale shy of a bunch, the juice of 4-5 oranges (about 2.5 cups) and 2 frozen bananas created 3 cups of  my favourite green smoothie this week! fresh orange juice? swoon!

green smoothie experiments.

yesterday's smoothie is the remainder of my romaine lettuce, a few red chard leaves, a peach and a plum (and 1 cup of water as it's a smoothie for one!)

i have to say i'm getting kind of tired of romaine in my smoothies and i can't even say i do it that often. 

so this next one is sans romaine and is made of the greens of one bunch of radishes, one peach, one nectarine and 1 cup of water.

it smells a bit like peach and tastes very light and fresh. a bit garden grass-ish but it blended so light like a frothy juice, it's refreshing!

i just started reading a book from the library, the 80/10/10 diet by dr. douglas n. graham, and there's a nectarine on the front (with cucumber and lettuce) - perhaps that will have to be my next green smoothie, when i'm ready to drink lettuce again! ^_^

from the beginning of "80-10-10"

today's smoothie for paul and i (with extra for seconds for me! hehe) is 2 cups filtered water, 1 avocado, 1.5 frozen banana, 1 teaspoon(ish) spirulina, 2 plums, 1 bunch of parsley, 1 bosc pear and a nub of ginger. YUM!

breakfast... the plums were especially good...













lunch... hooray for bananas! and my green smoothie crackers. YAY!!!













and dinner... the last crumbs of my crackers....













and then these cukes were brought out. i'm sure there are non-raw things like corn syrup or sugar (i can feel it now - i have a sugar headache, i'm sure of it!) and a vinegar but! garlic and cucumbers were excitement and i even had to sneak some back to my room ^_^

apples at breakfast... it's a good thing...













and the very last of my kelp noodles! i had them marinating in apple cider vinegar and some tamari i think, last night... oh yah, and wrapped in raw nori! the little bit of extra time is totally worth the perfect bites!













and nori again... but this time with salad and hemp hearts to be rolled up in it... next time i may try the remainder of my pesto in some... ooh and hurrah for plums!
