A Distinctly Different Homestead

Green To Go

Many of you know of "Above Rubies" (www.aboverubies.org), the wonderful free magazine about homemaking, parenting, and all those other interests that we all share.  I got this recipe from there.  We drink this on a nearly daily basis, and have all learned to love it-even the one who hated it at first!!!

"Green To Go"

1 ripe banana

2 cups purified water

1 Tbsp. honey (raw and local is best)

2 Tbsp. flaxseed oil or coconut oil

a handful of ice

a blender full of greens

Blend in a good blender (I have a Vita-mix) on high for 30 seconds, then max for 30 seconds, then high again for a few seconds until smooth.

When beginning this great drink, you can use fewer greens and a little more fruit.  Add more veggies a little at a time as your family adjusts to the taste.  We use whatever fruit is on hand, apples, pears, berries, etc. and whatever greens we have as well, romaine, spinich, red-leaf lettuce, etc.  I like the organic salad greens mixture from Costco.  I also add a Tbsp. or two of powdered spirulina.

Enjoy!

I've been drinking these for quite a while- I love them; but only with spinach!
Blessings,

We changed our diet about 2 years ago, but have recently discovered that we need to adjust it again. This is one of the things we were wanting to try, thanks for the recipe.

PS I love Above Rubies too!

Thank you so much for the link to the AboveRubies site. I had not heard of them before, but clicked, and perused their site. Awesome!! I know I'll really enjoy the magazine. Oh, by the way, don't worry about the yard. I am sure when you finish it, it will be lovely. Personally, I've been working on mine for about 20 yrs., and still not satisfied. Now ain't that a shame?LOL
