Green Smoothie Challenge and Salad Class Musings

2:42 PM Posted In , , Edit This 0 Comments »
How's everyone doing on the Green Smoothie Challenge? I have only missed one day so far, that was today, but I still have time. I guess it's not a total loss if I still have my green smoothie for supper instead of breakfast.

The salad class was fun. We missed everyone who did not show up though.

I promised a recipe for Hummus, so here it is:
one bulb of garlic (roasted)
6 cups of garbanzo beans
8 tablespoons of lemon juice
5 tablespoons tahini
1/4 cup olive oil
Sea Salt to taste
Dash or two of cumin if you like it

Put all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until slightly thinner than the consistency you prefer. (It will thicken as it cools)

We like to put it on fresh baked bread, eat it with flax chips, or baked Garden of Eatin' Chips, or just by the bowl! I like mine warm, if you wish you can drizzle olive oil over your personal serving and sprinkle paprika on it. Sometimes I put a dollop of it beside my salad! Yummy.


Kicking off another Green Smoothie Challenge

Ok ladies, we're kicking off phase two of the green smoothie challenge! For all of you ladies who were interested and didn't make it the first time, AND for all of you who want to start over, we are having a refresher course on July 20th. Also, we will be learning how to make home made salad dressings to go on our own delicious home made salads.

The goal will be to eat at least ONE huge salad daily. But preferably one before lunch and supper! We will be adding this to our green smoothie that we have each morning.

We will be talking about the benefits of eating greens, raw foods, whole foods diet for the family, sharing recipes, support and much more! So be there.

Email, call or get with me on Facebook for details!

Also, Shawne is getting together the materials for a class on building / taking care of your own green house, so let me know if you are interested in that as well...
