Green Orange Julius

Green Orange Julius

I have fond childhood memories of making orange julius & popcorn at a neighbourhood friends house on many a weekend. That is one recipe I couldn’t forget if I tried.

Although I think it is important to support local grown and sold foods that are in season, I also consider it a blessing that we have access to and are able to experience such a wide variety of whole foods available to us from all over the world.

Green Smoothie Blueprint

Green Smoothie Blueprint

Aside from a few discovered favourites, when we make green smoothies, we rarely follow a recipe as we usually use what we have on hand at the time and 9 times out of 10 they are a hit. In order to assure that it does indeed taste good, we usually follow a sort of guideline or blueprint if you will and here is our go to blueprint in the order the ingredients are added to the blender: Print Green Smoothie Blueprint From: Mommy Kristi Prep time:  5 mins Total time:  5 mins Serves: 1 adult, 2-4 children   Ingredients ½ - 1 Cup Liquid (Water, Coconut Water, Orange, Apple, or Pomegranate Juice) 2 Cup Greens (Spinach is most mild, I just stuff as much into the blender as I can) 1-2 TB Flax, Chia or Hemp seeds Any additional superfoods such as goji berries, nuts and/or dried fruits like, currants, raisin, dates or figs. 1-2 Fresh Fruit (1 banana & 1 apple, pear, mango or pineapple slices.
