Day 4 - Heaven in a Blender


Agh, so I've got 7mins to get to work, but I didn't wanna forget about the heaven that is in the cup im ...spooning from this morning for breakfast....

This morning I got up and made one of my green smoothies - ingredients:

half a pack of spinich (spinich is neutral, so you cant actually taste it in a smoothie)
2 bananas
1 apple
2 kiwifruit
2 handfuls of frozen blackberries
1/3 of a mango
2 small clumps of raw coconut meat

OHHHHHHHH myyyyyyyyyyy goodness - who would have thought brown thick muck could taste so GOOD? IT is actually so so so good! Even on this fa REEEEZING morning where I see my fingers moving but I cant actually feel them, they are so FROZEN!

I'm feeling quite 'hot right now', I'm wearing my baggy work pants (gota be slightly scruff when working with kids in a kindy, spew, paint, poo, the possibility of what you'll be covered in each day) with thermal pants underneath - knee high socks on top of that...then a singlet thermal and a long sleeve thermal then my work shirt....ohhh yeaaaaaa, working it. ;)

K, back to my smoothie......soooooooooooooooooooooo tastyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
2mins to get to work....

My Lover, The Juicer

So let me run you through this exciting procedure I do on a daily basis.........
First you get out ALLLL the awesomeness in Raw form - as above. Anything and everything really, fruit or veg that is :) More colour the better! :)
Then I get to use a big ol' knife to chop it all up into reasonable size peices, so my Lover aka The Juicer, doesn't kick a tanty.... Apart from carrots, he can take them WHOLE. The man.

Then comes some sweeeet sweeeeet fun times.......the smooshing, multching grinding, noiiiisy goodness...........very satisfying.

And then out it comessssssssssssss................woooohooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
"Juice, glorious Juiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice"

And eeeeeeeeventually........

And alllllllllllll that fruit adds up to.....

Pump Bottle and Mufussa Sized Glass = Breakfast and Lunch for tomorrow!

"YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM"

Then Mr Drain-age gets alllll the rejects......
That is alot of Fibre right there......

Hummina hummina.......
God has some seriously good creation skills aye, fruit alone is a pure genius.

Wave Farewell To My Beloved Summer Fruits

I have bid farewell to my Beloved Summer Fresh Fruits. It is quite a traumatic time in the world of Rita Lee. I often am heard wailing in the still hours of the night. Fruit consists of a mufussa sized part of my diet, with being as Rawist as I possibly can - 80-90% genuinely. The benefits of me eating Raw - well thats a whole nother blog post in itself. BUT my Summer Fruits are slowly fadddding away, to the other side of the world, growing on trees in the amazing tropics where they grow all year round (I think). A large number of Rawists live in Hawaii for that very reason.
SO, now my Raw Smoothies arn't nearly as amazing as they were in Summer. BUT thats where experimenting comes into the picture. Today my raw smoothie consisted of.


A Apple
A Peach
A Banana
A handful (or two) of Spinich
A handful of frozen berries
1 tsp of Cinnamon
andddddd
1 tsp of Coconut Oil (dont let the 'oil' mislead you, it is 'oil' that is hard as a rock in texture)

Absense makes the heart grow fonder so they say..........so look for me in the produce isle next summer, mangos, pineapples, coconuts and strawberries will be rolling off my trolley like no tomorrow. Mmmmm, I'm hummina hummina-ing at the thought of it.
