Super Green Food Recipes
Smoothies are no longer crunchy granola hippie food. They are in sidewalk cafes and are being sold at the grocery store in 6 packs. But smoothies are easy to make at home and can be even more nutritious when you make them yourself. One of the best reasons to start drinking smoothies is if you are prone to skipping breakfast.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yet millions of people walk out the door with a thermos of coffee and a full to-do list. Your body needs fuel to work properly. Your brain needs energy to think properly. Smoothies are a great way to get super nutrition in a tasty treat. They are quick to make and easy to share. What more could you want form a great breakfast?
I keep a list of smoothie ingredients on hand so I can make the best tasting, most nutrient rich shake I can. I keep these ingredients on hand all the time so I can substitute different fruits or juices to change the flavor depending on my mood.
Here is my list: juice (I mix it up), plain whole yogurt, flax seeds, a super green powder, coconut milk powder, protein powder (vanilla), flax seed oil, and wheat germ.
You can start out with juice, yogurt, green food and the Coconut milk powder and work in the flax seeds, protein powder and other ingredients. I recommend a powdered super green mix because it mixes easily and digests very quickly. (In fact I often mix it with a cup of juice and take a green shot for a mid afternoon pick me up!) Plus it is less expensive than other vitamin regimes because you get all the nutrients you need in one shot. I particularly like adding vanilla protein powder and Coconut milk powder because they add more protein and omega 3 fatty acids, plus the coconut milk powder tastes really creamy and good! Ok, now that you have your basic ingredients lets get down to it!
Smoothies are good for you for many reasons, but two in particular. One: smoothies combine readily available nutrients in a liquid form. This means you get the nutrients you want in a highly digestible form, right away. Second: they are great healthy food on the go. Let's face it, we need better food for a fast pace society. Before you go drop another 5 dollar bill on a starbucks -try creating your own smoothies and feel the super green food difference!

Smoothie recipes using your blender

Apple banana fun
1 cup apple juice
1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
1 tsp super green energy powder
1 tsp wheat germ
1 large cored apple (with or without peel)
1 ripe banana
2-3 cubes of ice
Put ingredients into blender and serve cold
This one turns out very chunky and good! The wheat germ gives I a slight texture and wonderful nutty taste.
Coconut banana cream
1 half cup fresh filtered water
half cup coconut milk powder
1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
1 tsp super green energy powder
2 tsp flax seeds
1 ripe banana
half a cup of half and half (optional, but good)
2-3 cubes of ice
Put ingredients into blender and serve cold
Ok, are you ready for a yummy, creamy, coconutty and that's really good for you? Try this recipe!
For this one I use fruit I keep the freezer, try it - its easy. Next time bananas, blueberries or strawberries (or any other fruit) starts to go bad, just peel chop and freeze it in a bag. I then use these chunks for smoothies all year long! It replaces the ice and gives your smoothies great flavor and texture.
Frozen Slushie delight
1 cup 2% milk
1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
1 tsp super green energy powder
2 tsp flax seeds
1 cup frozen fruits
1 ripe banana
2 tsp coconut milk powder
1 tsp flax seed oil
1 splash of vanilla extract
Put ingredients into blender and serve cold
Healthy bloody mary
2 cups tomato/ vegetable juice
1 tsp super green energy powder
1 quarter cup celery leaves
2 -3 fresh basil leaves
2-3 cubes of ice
Put ingredients into blender and serve cold, serve with fresh celery sticks
Now that you have all these delicious options for adding a super green drink to your morning - what are you waiting for?

What is the powdered stuff called you sprinkle on fruit to keep it from browning?
I was at my local Kmart recently (it went out of business) and they had this powder in a little shaker bottle like you would find any kind of spices in. I'm pretty sure it had a green lid. It was basically a powder to sprinkle on fruits or vegetables to keep them from browning. I know I can also use lemon juice, but I'd like to find this because it is tasteless. I'd like to know what it is called and if I can purchase it online anywhere.
One brand is Fruit Fresh. However, I use either powdered lemonade mix (Country Time)or even lemon-lime soda (Sprite or Sierra Mist) to do the same thing. Both have the ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in them and are quick and easy to use. Vitamin C tablets sometimes have a bitter flavor. The lemonade mix or soda don't give you that issue and the bit of sweetness these products offer add a bit to the flavor of the fruit.
There are very few veg that turn brown like fruit does and most often those recipes include some type of acid in them so just toss the veg with the acid called for in the recipe. And for potatoes, just cover them completely in cold water. The air can't get to them so they can't oxidize.

A Lot of Green Living Has to Do with Common Sense by Ryan Johnson
This change could in reality make you healthier, when you begin buying your food in your own area. Certainly, you have been to a local farmer's market, and observed all of the things for sale. You can also purchase baked goods, bread, meats and produce, all from local individuals trying to make a living with nutritious foods. Ordinarily the food is fresher, and healthier too, and not only that, but you are supporting the local economy. While you check out their goods, you also get a chance to converse with actual producers to find out about any hormones, preservatives or pesticides that may have been utilized. Since these goods are locally grown, there's no need to burn up a lot of fossil fuel shipping them to your town or city.
Maybe you could think about using recyclable containers to carry your lunch to work rather than going out to lunch daily. Recyclable containers can make a great difference, relieving a little of the sizable waste created by today's methods of packaging food. It's simpler to pick out the exact size or amount you need too. Be sure you include non-plastic, reusable tableware in your lunch, also. If you tend to pay for your food items in bulk, you can save on the huge waste of packaging material that happens with products that are only single serving. If you will take the extra time to compost your left over fruits and veggies, your garbage going to the landfills can be decreased. As long as you have your own garden, you can make use of your own compost, but if not, you should know someone who would love to have it.
When you are preparing your food, there are a few energy saving steps you can take. For one thing, just putting a lid on the pot when boiling water saves energy since it comes to a boil quicker. As soon as the water begins boiling, you can straightaway lessen the heat. Pre-heating the oven is another waste of energy, because this is not required for nearly all foods. One more thing that will not waste energy is to turn off the oven for the last 15 minutes, when cooking such things as roasts, since the heat that is left will finish the cooking.
Are any of these things that you could begin doing or do you feel they are a waste of time? They're all really simple that there's no reason not to do them every day. You cannot overestimate how much energy we'd conserve merely by doing these few simple things.
