To make it, add bananas and blend with water until it is the thin consistency of milk. It is so much sweeter than a thick banana smoothie and so good on the winter days.

Enjoy ♥

Energy Soup.

Finally I have found something tasty and super healthy that makes greens appealing and easy to eat. It's called Energy Soup. If you google it, you will find many different stories of healing associated with it (read one boy's miraculous story here). There are many different variations on the original recipe*. The one I have been making is as follows:

Energy Soup
1 cup of water or Rejuvelac
2 Apples, peeled and chopped
2 stalks of Celery, chopped
1 lb of mixed greens (Spinach, Romaine, Spring Mix, whatever you prefer)
1 tablespoon of Dulse (Seaweed) flakes (or 1 piece of Dulse

Place one cup of water, one of the Apples, one stalk of Celery, and the greens into the blender like so.



Blend until smooth. Lastly, pulse in the remaining Apple, Celery, and Dulse flakes to add crunch.

Voila!



Okay it looks kind of gross. But it tastes good and it makes you feel so alive. I make one for breakfast. I love it.

*The original recipe also suggests to add one avocado and bean sprouts, but I didn't add them.

Haircut today.

I believe that our hair holds a lot of energy. So I get haircuts only every so often, when I am ready for major changes and shifts in energy to happen. And I am.
