I was diagnosed with lupus last year- it's an autoimmune disease where your body basically attacks your own organs :( That means I have to watch my diet and eat plenty of raw fruits and vegetables. I'm all for raw fruits but raw vegetables is a little hard to take in. So I started juicing and blending. The only thing I don't like about juicing is the messy left overs. I'm pretty sure you need to eat the solid parts of the vegetables and fruits to get the full benefit and that's also why I prefer blending over juicing. At least with blending, you get to eat everything! My favorite drink is a kale and spinach smoothie with fresh fruits and dried dates. My favorite blend with kale and spinach are apples and pineapples but any fruits will do. For extra sweetness, I add dried pitted dates or fresh bananas.
For today's smoothie, I used the following:
- a handful of kale
- a handful of spinach
- 1 ripe pear
- a handful of strawberries
- a handful of dried dates
Blend everything with ice cold water until liquified and bam!- the sweetest green smoothie you'll ever have in your life :) and no sugar added!
Cheers!
