Good morning
Yellow band hey enjoy your coffee I did for a long time. Have found that
I was so addicted to it that I had to have it and frankly I no longer want
to have to have anything
So far so good I was already having only two cups a day green juices and
the green tea this morning is helping and the run I'm sure
I meant to say in this morning's post that I cannot
not get up at 5am
since I stopped eating meat and juicing veggies and fruit everyday
Am very glad its Summer as I make this transition thanks to "Earthlings" video
more changes then just physical ones as well
Also don't do refined sugar, a bit of raw organic honey, on this for awhile now
and cutting the fruit "sugar" with the green juice or powder
I like the flax oil because it helps make my smoothies creamier, and I also use
on salads so two for one I say
Spelt is delicious, quinoa, kamut (is new to me, thanks for the suggestion)
So have a great day everyone
off to hang-out in the Sun again!

I saw where Diva posted a recipe for how to make iced coffee. I actually never knew how....gonna try that. I only drink one cup of caffeine a day. I have ton's of energy....and try to avoid adding *extra*.....it does affect me.
I eat a bananna every day (one) because it a) thickens my shake and b) is a wonderful source of potassium. But weight watchers only allows ww folks half a bananna a day. Not that I count calories.....but I am aware of sugar intake
because diabetes runs deep in my family and I want nothing to do with that.
I was going to suggest spelt to you, kumut is also good. Both are high in protein and fiber. I love the taste of both. Quinoia also comes in a pasta form
and in a farina form (like oatmeal)
I made my morning shake out of cottage cheese, almonds, flax seed and the remainder of the bagged spinach, diced celery and flax seeds. A few iced cubes.
I wonder why you use flax seed oil instead of the seeds?
Also, I know cottage cheese in a shake sounds gross.....but it isn't. I too, was surprised. Notice I did not add any whey.
Also, to folks who are just starting to experiment with this shake stuff, you may wonder why I dice my celery before tossing it into the blender.....(it's really trial and error) if I dice up, the smaller the better, the celery, the blender will shredd it into strings. Yuk, who wants to drinks strings. Same reason I pull the stems off off my baby spinach leafs. If I can puree it enough in the blender, I don't have to use a strainer bag.
Sometimes, I have no manners, and just drink right out of the blender jar. (ok, since I'm resorting to self disclosure this morning) I use a rubber spatula and scrape the blender jar and lick the *spoon* too. 
See.....................I need nothing for more energy.
Have a good day all. |
