this weekend has found us eating a lot of cooked food, so we've been drinking some raw nutrition.
this sweet smoothie consisted of two frozen bananas, an orange, a carrot, a few tablespoons chia seeds and just a teaspoon spirulina (someone doesn't care for the flavor so we're easing into it.)
shelled hemp seeds gave it a nice crunch as well as a dose of iron, calcium and essential fats.
speaking of raw, yesterday i received carmella's delightfully raw recipe book in the mail. this book has everything you need to know about raw foods, and then some!
we also purchased a package of sea spaghetti that carmi and don wanted to get off their hands. i've been so interested to try it; i'll let you know what we think!
yaaaaaaaaaay for hemp seeds and sea spagetti!
ReplyDeleteAwesome book title. I had to rap it out loud when I read it. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that recipe book! The recipes blow my mind and they are always well received by the average eater.
I can't wait to hear about the sea spaghetti.
Kale powder. I HAVE to remember to make this when I have to much and don't know what to do with it. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteyou are reminding me I still need to get carmi's book.
ReplyDeleteActually, it looks pretty darn good. But to tell the truth, after a day or three of raw vegetables and such, I'm ready for a trip to Burger King for some grease.
ReplyDeleteAnd, isn't hemp s'posed to be smoked? :)
Mmm that smoothie looks/sounds delish! I need to get some spirulina.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear how the sea spaghetti is!
amen, cosmic!=)
ReplyDeletekt, hehe. so true. most of the raw recipes i use are carmi's with some of my adaptations. she really knows what she's doing!
jane - i should have mentioned i got that idea from carmella! it's perfect for an adundance of greens. i've also used chard and collard greens.
bitt - i'm so happy to have finally bought it. it's a gem!
well, clint, balancing the fast food with some days of raw foods sounds like a better idea than eating the crap every day!=) and hemp has dozens of uses. it's said that george washington and thomas jefferson grew hemp for clothing and paper, and who knows, maybe they even smoked it!=)
thanks lisa! i also like to sprinkle spirulina on my salads and drizzle some olive oil. then my lips turn blue-green.=)
Hmm, powdered kale...what a great idea. I should definitely do some up this year and maybe powdered beet greens too. Cool.:)
ReplyDeleteLooking good! Juiced up some carrot/apple/clementine this morning for the 3 youngest chillins--it was yummo.
ReplyDeletePeace and Raw Health,

I like "All That and a Bag of Kale Chips". Tee hee hee.
Looks like a great book! :)
ReplyDeleteI do that to compensate for lack of greens just toss green powder into my juice. Juicing is perfect easy to way to mak up for our guilts :)
ReplyDeleteI love hemp seeds - hubby enjoys the hemp protein powder but I prefer the seeds. I've never had kale powder before but looks great to have. Carmella's book looks great - can't wait to hear all about it from you. Love the title too (good one John!)
