Green Juices and Chia Seeds
Wednesday, July 15, 2009 at 8:03AM
I made this video a few weeks ago. I've been pretty committed to green juices, even making them last weekend when we were out of town. The green juice I'm having today starts with water, a pinch of sea salt, handful of walnuts, blueberries, raspberries, colander full of lettuces, parsley, chives, peaches, green tea that I brewed yesterday and a splash of balsamic vinegar!!!!
The goal is to add as many veggies as possible: so good for you but I'm not a super fan. Mike used to (notice the past tense) say I was really good at buying vegetables. Notice that's the end point!!!!!!!!! So by making this juice every day I'm adding 2 veggie servings and 1 fruit. And I don't have to chew so much!
In the video I mention Chia Seeds. I used all the ones I had and haven't re-purchased. I really liked them though. They are high in antioxicants, fiber, omega-3s, protein, lipids. Low in sodium and fewer net carbs than other grains. Most interesting of all: Chia Seeds were the survival food of Aztec warriors. Eat your seeds and bring that peaceful warrior spirit into your heart!
