purple smoothies
frozen coconut milk.
freeze it fresh from the market.
coconut milk is highly perishable so please be cautious.
the moment u come back from the market,
freeze them immediately.
for some reason if u cannot do it in that instant,
soak the bag of coconut milk/santan in a bowl of ice water and keep inside the fridge.
this should be able to last for a couple of hours.
santan is not popular in KK i reckon.
places selling it are limited,
so i went to the main market in town and buy 1 kg worth of freshly squeezed santan,
and make beautiful "sunflower".
we are lucky to have a bountiful supply of coconut.
all of us has learned in school on the many uses of coconut.
the whole fruit has it's own functions beneficial to the us and
the versatility of this magic fruit is enormous.
coconut milk contains lauric acid which is also found in mother's milk. lauric acid will be converted to monolaurin in our body and this component has extraordinary powerful antibiotic, antiviral and antifungal properties.
the heath benefits of coconut milk is shared here in healthyeating. you can read up on the references for credibility of this page.
based on these knowledge, my family will be consuming more raw coconut milk instead of cooked coconut milk, which may notoriously do harm to our body. (the LDL cholesterol and what not)
kiwi, mango, chia seed, sawi (mustard green)
i dislike kiwi in my blends.

we drink our juices early in the morning on an empty stomach.
the correct way should be to drink slowly, swish it around our mouth and allowing the saliva to be mixed to increase digestibility.
one thing i was doing wrong all this time.
i have been blending the fruits and vegetables in the morning, the fruits and veg taken out directly from the refrigerator.
feeling nauseated drinking them cold, i dare not tell hubs.
well i need to be the role model !
anyway, read this:
When you drink your vegetable juice, the juice should be at room temperature. This means you should take your vegetables out of the fridge and place on the counter for a few hours before juicing. Ideally and if you can, leave your vegetables out overnight to ensure they are at room temperature. Cold food shuts down the digestive system and this would then defeat the purpose of juicing.
before u venture into this project,
do know some cardinal rules such as:
side effects of going raw,
how to introduce greens slowly.
i highly recommend reading the juicing tips.
