today's smoothie: 1/2 small beetroot, 1/4 lemon, 2 banana, 2 cubes frozen coconut milk, 1 green apple, 2 cups sweet potato leaves, 1/2 inch turmeric.
just today i learned that we should add oil/fats in combination of turmeric to make it more bioavailable, as reported here.
hence coconut oil or vco?
this tastes GOOD!
hubs asked for more.
whenever he asked for more, i know ive nailed it!
besides, his divulgence about both his and his son's poo are not smelly anymore which could be due to the smoothies helps tremendously in boosting my enthusiasm.
i always treasure such feedbacks.
he also pointed out that kj's mouth was not foul smelling anymore ever since we started on the smoothies.
also, he feels more energetic.
well, another power booster would be the son drinking them!
usually he would say not good!
however upon constant urging, he would down his share.
there is nothing more pleasurable than that! :)
oh, some mommies shared that sweet potato leaf is a galactagogue!
needless to say, we will be consuming more of these now.
dont forget.
more vegetables, less fruits.
and ROTATE them.
best would be to incorporate 60% vegetables and 40% fruits.
this blog pretty much explains everything u need to know about green smoothies.
there is a debate about how a high power blender being able to break down the cell walls of the vegetables and fruits, thereby releasing all the nutrients and minerals which the body can readily absorb.
do share with me if u ever come across any other conclusive or reliable resource on this.
our thermomix serves us well to this point.
2 combs of banana for ONLY TWO RINGGIT!
u should have seen that victorious smile on my face that day!
felt as though i had won a lottery!
banana is a great companion.
tips: freeze it! they should be in your hands anytime u need it as a thickener or to mask a strong tasting veggie.
