It's Easy Being Green Smoothie

Spinach
Kale
Pineapple (fresh or frozen)
Fresh Orange Juice
Wheatgrass juice
1 banana

This is by far my favorite smoothie! I feel awesome every time I drink it! This is my copycat recipe of a smoothie they have at Ginger's Cafe in Springville, UT. I don't know their exact measurements so I just wing it every time based on what I have. I juice about 2 or 3 oranges and blend that with the spinach and kale. Then add the pineapple (tropical frozen fruit mix works great too), banana, and wheatgrass juice (I usually do 2 or 3 ounces) and blend until smooth! I add a little water or ice as needed for a good consistency and temperature (who likes to drink a warm smoothie right?)

Never had wheatgrass juice before? Do a Google search and check out all the amazing health benefits, it will blow your mind! It's an acquired taste for sure, so if you don't like the taste all by itself then this smoothie is a great way to sneak in this awesome superfood!

Sweet Potato Fries

Thinly slice the sweet potatoes, saute in coconut oil, then sprinkle with seasonings you like and toss well. I used Salt-free Mrs. Dash and then added a little Himalayan salt. Yum! My boys loved them!

Eating healthy makes me happy!

Corny Cabbage Coleslaw

Makes 6 servings

3 C white corn kernels, fresh or frozen
3 C red (purple) cabbage, chopped very small
2 T fresh lemon juice
2 T extra virgin olive oil
2 T tamari (I used Bragg's Liquid Aminos)
1/2 tsp powdered ginger OR 1 T fresh ginger, grated

Toss all ingredients together and enjoy. You can also marinate it in the fridge 2 hours or more to let the flavors combine. Recipe from Robyn Openshaw's book Junk Food Dude's Yummy Healthy Recipes

This was my first attempt at this recipe and I would definitely recommend cutting it in half, at least! I liked it fresh right when I made it but the next day it didn't look so appealing to me. It's a nice addition to a salad (which it what I've been using it for) but it's way too much for me on my own!
