Smooth Going to Green Smoothie

This morning, I finally developed a system to make green smoothies with my regular Oster blender. It's not a fancy blender, although I intend to get one of those monsters sometime soon. Trick is to put in the liquids first, then cut up your fresh kale and spinach in little shreds or pieces. This worked for me. I bought organic baby spinach leaves and just tossed them in as they were, but I did cut up the kale. Here's what I made and it was smooth and tasty.

Veganishta Morning Green Drink
1 large leaf fresh curly kale
3 large handfuls of fresh, baby spinach leaves
6 oz. orange/pineapple juice
6 oz. cherry juice
1 radish
1 tsp. sushi ginger slices (pickled, from the jar, 'cause I ran out of fresh)
2 scoops "Life Greens" plant protein mix

Pour in your juices first; then add the other ingredients one at a time and blend; add the protein powder last and blend all again to your desire of "smoothiness."

Enjoy and be healthy!

The Joy of Experimenting with Health Foods

Well, this blog is going to be the go-to place where I'll share my cooking creations with anyone who likes to cook and eat healthy. I am a new "veganish" person, meaning I am 99% vegan. The 1% where I am not, means that I occasionally eat some good, healthy fish. I've been doing this now for three months and feel great and also lost 20 pounds. I've always been a great cook, so I am told by many people, and they always ask me for my recipes. I've never really followed recipes when cooking, although I probably have about 50 cookbooks on my shelves. I love to read cookbooks and that is where I get my ideas. I've also been a self-taught nutritionist for the last 30 years.

So, my reason for becoming vegan is for health purposes and lately, I've even not had any desire for any fish. In the months to come, I might transition over to being a 100% vegan. I will begin sharing some of my recipes in the coming days. Some of them include my "So Good for You Tofu Soup," "Unbelievable Vegan Macaroni & Cheese," "Green Hummus," "Sweet Potato Veggie Casserole," and "Creamy Tomato Mushroom Sauce" on Linquini.

Signing off for this evening. I am looking forward to adding to this blog and hearing from others who share my joy in experimenting with healthy cooking!
