mmm, breakfast!
This appetizing looking concoction serves as breakfast on the go most weekday mornings. It's power packed with goodness to keep us both going strong until lunch. It contains oats, ground flax seed meal, almonds, hemp protein powder, spirullina, bee pollen granules, a banana, chopped ginger, frozen strawberries and blueberries and soy milk and cherry juice to keep it all in a liquid state. I'm sure I wake up the neighbors every morning with our jet engine of a blender, but this tasty bevvy is worth it!
Of course, I do spend about an hour and a half each weekend putting together "smoothie packs." I combine all the dry ingredients in one baggie, all the frozen ingredients in another so it's much easier for me to just grab and blend instead of hauling out each of the 12 separate ingredients. But that planning ahead thing is getting easier and easier as we go along...

Beth does work hard preparing the packets in advanced. I typically sit on my butt not feeling well from the chemo while she is at work in the kitchen. Not only that, but she usually prepares the smoothies in the mornings, too. There is no doubt, I have it pretty good. But I sometimes can do without the ginger, it can be a little strong. However, ginger is great for your digestion and kidney functions. Some sources say its a good blood cleanser as well.
This drink actually does sound delicious! I often go crazy for smoothies in the summer months. do you have a recipe to share? Vanessa
Hey Vanessa-
Here's what I use for two smoothies:
1/2 cup oats
1/4 ground flax seed meal
1 tbsp bee pollen
2 tsp spirullina
a small handfull of almonds
1 serving of protein powder
a banana
2 cups frozen fruit
about 1" ginger, chopped
then I add cherry and soy milk to blend it all up! Enjoy!
