This is a vegan, gluten-free smoothie recipe that I do not believe will change your life. Or will it? Just make sure you follow the directions.
Ingredients
- 1.5-inch ginger root
- ¼ cup raw pumpkin seeds
- ⅜ cup hemp hearts
- 1 apple
- 1 cucumber (sub 1 large carrot during winter)
- 2 cups frozen chopped spinach
- 2 cups flax milk
- 1.5 cups water
Directions
- Get out your blender and assemble your ingredients.
- Break or cut off a chunk of ginger root and put it in the blender. You can peel it if you’d like, but the whole thing is edible…and it’s going in a blender. (I just rinse it with some water.)
- Measure the pumpkin seeds and hemp hearts and dump them into the blender.
- Cut the cucumber into chunks, cut the apple into fourths, and remove the core and stem. Put them both in the blender.
- Measure your frozen spinach, flax milk, and water, and pour them into the blender.
- Turn on the blender on a low setting at first, then higher. As you watch the blender pre-digest all those healthy ingredients for you, think about what this smoothie represents: a commitment to clean eating and living, a promise to yourself to make better dietary choices, and unlocking the secrets to longevity and eternal youth. It could change your life. Or maybe you like your life? Or at least enough of it that you don’t need to change the whole thing and become a completely new person? Things are OK, for the most part, right? You’re good at some stuff, some people like you, maybe some things could be a little better, but that’s true with everyone, probably. You’re doing just fine in the grand scheme of things. (Some fruits and vegetables and fiber and micronutrients and vitamins can’t hurt, though.)
- Split the contents of the blender between two 32-ounce jars, one for today and one for tomorrow. It makes a lot. But then you only have to wash the blender every other day.
