Tale of Two Raws

I have to say that the smoothie I made today for breakfast is an excellent one, and I wanted to share the recipe, such as it is, with you.

1 apple, 1 banana, a couple of big handfuls of spinach - almost to the top of your blender jar, 3/4 teaspoon coconut oil, 1 tablespoon of hemp seed protein powder, a huge tablespoon of raw honey, 3/4 teaspoon of any green powder - I use Pure Synergy, and finally 1/3 a lemon. I peeled the lemon because I had taken the sticker off so I didn’t know if it was organic, but I left most of the pith on. If it had been organic I would have used 1/4  of the lemon, skin and all. I put in about 8-12 ounces of purified water and let my blender do her job.

What is special is the lemon. I learned this trick from Natilia Rose with her recipe for Green Lemonade. It really makes a difference.

I also think you could make this in a regular blender, just cut up your apple into tiny chunks and add the water, or whatever liquid you choose, first. Have a Good Morning!

PS: Today, after my smoothie I went to a NIA class. It was exhausting, but I didn’t get hungry or weak…a good testament for my little recipe. I did go home and take a nap though!
