Many people began to say, you look much better, how did you do that? What did you do to go from getting sicker everyday to looking better everyday? GREEN SMOOTHIES!
Everyday I would get up and drink a green smoothie and each day rotate the dark leafy greens.
HERE'S THE RECIPE:
Green Plant Drink (I buy this one in the dry juice isle at Trader Joe's) liquid foundation (can be any healthy liquid; water, some ice, any juice without sugar added)
1 whole peeled lemon
1 whole organic apple
2-3 stalks organic celery
1 tablespoon hemp seed powder (could use soy or whey)
All the following are rotated - sometimes I add 3 or 4 from below. kale
bok choy collard greens
spinach swiss chard
beet leaf greens watercress
parsley sunflower sprouts
There are many more greens, just keep rotating them; as Victoria Boutenko says.
"Rotate Your Greens daily"
blend all above (I use a vitamix, but I did just have a regular blender and it worked. It just takes longer
I keep the fiber in, but you could strain this and just drink the juice. I leave the fiber in because this is my breakfast and I want to get full from it. Also we need the extra fiber
to keep our system moving. I have been drinking these smoothies for 2 years now.
I also think the trick to these green smoothies is they raise your alkalinity. When I was really sick, initially my ph was 6.5. After drinking the smoothies it quickly went up to 7 - 7.5. A ph balance of 7.5 is ideal. My last ph test on my official blood test was 8. in Jan. 2010. There is a great book about ph called "The ph Miracle Diet - Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health" by Robert O. Young.
