Himalayan pink salt. Believe it or not, adding a little bit of unrefined sea salt or Himalayan pink salt to your morning smoothie, sweet potato pie, fruit salad, or other sweet beverage or dish can actually enhance its natural sweetness without the need for sugar. Not only does salt help cover up the bitterness inherent in certain foods, but it also causes the natural sweetness of many foods to become more enhanced, which means less sugar is needed to bring them to the desired taste […] Continue reading →
I came across a similar recipe recently, but it was a rather bland version. So I added a few things, and it turned out into a really delicious, refreshing dish. If you have a power blender, it only takes a few minutes to make. Lovely as a side salad, part of a filling for wraps or pile onto large lettuce leaves or eat as a quick lunch just by itself. It is very nutritious and satisfying. Ingredients: 2 large or 4 small to medium organic carrots, washed and cut into chunks 1 flat teaspoon […] Continue reading →

No Therapy! To prevent misunderstandings: Green Smoothies can prevent cancers and support treatments for cancer, however they are not able to heal cancer in and by themselves! Prevention of Cancer Cancer is a very complex disease which is still not sufficiently understood, even by scientists. Due to its composition of fruit and a high percentage of green leaves, the Green Smoothie is a very potent anti-cancer food. The reason for this is that plants contain a wide variety of substances […] Continue reading →

Green Smoothies also clear the myth that ‘real’ muscles can only be built by eating large amounts of meat. When our bodies use animal proteins to obtain the necessary amino acids, the digestive system uses much more energy to split up the long amino acid chains, so they can be used in our cells. This way a lot of energy is lost already which could otherwise be used for building muscle mass. Green plants contain less complex protein molecules but more essential amino acids in […] Continue reading →
