I learned this awesome new recipe at a 4 1/2 hr. hands-on learning session my mom and I went to on sunday. It was presented by a chinese missionary who does massage and tries to eat healthy. He sets up christian schools in china which is illegal. He is very inspirational and we learned lots of cool stuff including trigger point massage. I taught it to aaron tonight, he did it to my neck, and I SWEAR my headache went away. Anyway, he says Americans don't eat enough greens. Umm yeah. My mom told me about the green juice because he was staying at their house and made it for them and to be honest I thought it sounded pretty gross, but I actually liked it. Here's how to make it.
Bagged washed spinach
Fresh Pineapple-yum
Ground Flax seeds
Ground sesame seeds
Ground Pecans (optional
Honey to taste
He made it there for us. He didn't really give us specific amounts, but he used probably at least half a bag of spinach. I think a whole pineapple and maybe like 1/4 cup each of the seeds. And honey can be added little by little depending on how sweet you need it. Then he threw it all in the blender and Voila complete breakfast. Oh yeah and it wasn't very cold so I asked him if you could add ice and he said yes. Of course you can put leftovers in the fridge for the next day and it will be nice and cold but the fresh enzymes of the spinach is supposedly better for you right away. yeah whatever we are eating spinach for breakfast it's still pretty good:)
P.S. He says not to throw away the pineapple skins but to boil them and then drink the water. Hmmm wouldn't have thought of that.
Now I haven't made this yet, but I am going to as soon as I go to the store:) But I am pretty sure that Cole will drink it because he loves JUICE. Especially if he doesn't see me putting spinach in it and really it just tastes like pineapple and I know he loves that.
