Green Smoothie Girl

We are trying to incorporate more raw foods into our food plan.
A friend told me about Green Smoothie Girl.
She advocates whole foods, trying to eat at least 60% raw foods & drinking a green smoothie every day to get wonderful, very much needed nutrition, live enzymes, etc, for a strong, healthy body!

A recent blog of hers listed the 4 things she does every day, no matter what, in terms of feeding her family.

They are:
1. Drink raw kefir for breakfast.
~Kefir is a wonderful pro-biotic, yogurt-type drink that is best to make with raw, unpasteurized milk.
Now, you might be thinking, raw milk? Isn't that bad for you? We will surely die from it!
Do a little research.
Check out the info.
Of course, you can start out with a pasteurized, organic milk.
~Kefir is made with a starter. I currently do not have a starter, so I am in the process of looking for one. You can get a powdered type from the health food store. I do not have any experience with that kind yet, but I just may try it.
~The best starter is getting a bit from someone who is currently making their own kefir.
~Anyway, look into it.

2. Make a green smoothie every day.
Green Smoothie Girl has recipes and one that she suggests is:
spinach, kale, peaches, mixed berries and banana.
Fill up a blender, blend and serve 2 cups to children and 4 cups for adults.

3. Put a raw fruit and a raw veggie in children's lunches.

4. Always serve a fresh, raw salad at dinnertime.

So, this is what we are trying to do at our house. I still need to find my kefir starter, but the rest is fairly easy. We just need to get into the habit of making the smoothies.
I leave my blender out now to make it easier.

It is quite interesting and it is always nice to find ways to improve our health and the health of our loved ones.
God gave us a job to do here on earth and it's nice when we have the energy and good health to do it!

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
