In my attempt to have a very balanced diet with a wide array of produce, my attention is focused on kiwi today. It's not something I eat often, and shame on me for that. It's an AMAZING fruit with an impressive resume. I'll point to a few shining aspects here:
~Stimulates cellular repair (Boohyah!)
~Filled with an army of disease fighting phytonutrients (Gotta love that!)
~Loads of vitamin C (Twice as much as oranges!)
~Magnesium, fiber & potassium (Nice!)
~The Journal of Medicinal Food reported that kiwi has an amazing ability to reduce oxidative stress in human plasma. (Enough already! Bring me kiwi!)
See? Pretty darn great!
Here is a fabulously fresh recipe that is perfect for spring. I loved it so much that I'm already drinking my second one!
Cinnamon Kiwi Green Smoothie
Yield 3 cups
1-2 cups water
1 LARGE! handful spinach
1 kiwi (peeled or not, it's up to you - I peeled 1/2 of mine)
1 whole apple, chopped (yep, core and all)
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Blend this sassy baby up and enjoy the powers of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients going to work for you. YUMMY!
A Great Day - Well, obviously my day started out wonderfully with flowers from my guy, then it continued with delicious Raw liquids (green juices and the smoothies mentioned above). The sun is shining and I feel awesome. I'm working away at my laptop, switching between Oprah and Ellen on TV, and getting ready to take a great big walk with my dog. Later tonight, I'm going to the bookstore to relax and read (one of my favorite ways to spend time).Hugs to everyone out there reading my blog :)
