Getting a teenager to drink green smoothies

How did I accomplish this huge feat?  Starve them out. Yep. That’s right. Don’t but the junk. Don’t bring them fast food. Leave them at home with ‘nothing good to eat’.
After they figure out your not caving then they will have to eat. Lol. It’s taken me at least 6 months. Seriously I’ve introduced over 100 of my Green smoothies and my son tells me they are nasty. Until this week.
Breakthrough!!!

Note he is still on the computer but… hey!  He’s smiling AND drinking the green smoothie!
I thought it would never happen.
I’m a happy momma.
Yes!
How else are you going to get a teenager to eat two huge handfuls of organic kale, spinach and  baby chard, plus a  mango, a kiwi, half of a lime, some orange juice some Complete Powder and the whole pint of blackberries in one sitting!

Kale Orange Creamsicle Smoothie

I so love my kale. I had my tower garden at our booth at the State Fair and missed it so. I just FEEL GOOD when I eat raw green kale. I also found that the baby dwarf kale doesnt affect me in the same way. Although it is tasty, I seem to really get more energy and clarity from the large curly kale.

With that note, I was wanting a great breakfast and love Kale Pineapple smoothies, but did not have a fresh or frozen pineapple, so here is what I created, SO simple and very tasty!

3 large leaves curly green kale, organic or washed very well

1 1/2 C Orange Juice 100% Juice

1 1/2 Cups Organic Soy Milk

1 scoop Complete Whole Food Drink Mix by Juice Plus+

Blend in a high powered blender for 1 minute.

Enjoy! Ahhh!

Ginger Miso Organic Kale Chips

Ginger Miso Kale Chips

I love my organic garden. It is my zen place. I like to come out there in the morning or evening with my little dogs, trap them in the fence with me, (so they dont run away and ruin my zen) and play with my little green babies, as my garden mentor Val calls them.

Kale is such a good producer, and one can only drink so many green smoothies, so this is a perfect solution to the abundance you will harvest!

As the Lays Potato Chip slogan says, “You can’t eat just one”…well shoot with kale chips it’s  ore like, “You can’t just 10, 15 or 20!” I love this kale chip because it has a slight hint of sweetness that really brightens the flavor. The other unique flavor profile in this recipe is the use of miso.

If you are unfamiliar with miso, give it a try. It’s not a common ingredient that you will find in most people’s fridge.

A lot of people cannot do soy so that is why it is important to have an alternative that is made from chicpeas or coconut.

Recipe slightly modified from nouveauraw.com  and Cafe Gratitude

 

Ingredients:

1/2  cup water

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

¼ cup raw tahini

3 Tbsp maple syrup

2 Tbsp red or white unpasteurized miso

2 Tbsp chia seeds

1 Tbsp raw apple cider vinegar

2 tsp fresh lime juice

1 tsp chopped garlic

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1 bunch organic kale or a really good big handful freshly picked!

 

Preparation:

1. Sauce – Blend all ingredients until silky smooth.

Set aside for 10-30 minutes, giving the chia seeds

time to expand and absorb some of the dressing.

2. De-stem 1 bunch of kale and place in a large bowl.

3. Pour the sauce over the kale and with your hands, massage the sauce into the kale, making sure everything is well coated.

4. Place on non stick cookie sheet or in dehydrator trays

5. Dry at 115 for 3 to 4 hours or bake 270 degrees until a tiny bit browned. Watch closely!

6. If dehydrating, turn and continue dehydrating for another couple of hours or until completely dry.

Enjoy! Make sure to make enough to share with your friends!
