Yummy Fast Food - Green Drink

16 Green Smoothie – Fast Food
Now that the kids are back to school, I’m ready to start making more “green drinks” for my lunch.

To-day is the day.

I’m not an expert at being a raw foodist, but I have tried it and love the energy and well-being I get from “eating more raw foods”. So to-day when I looked in the fridge, yesterday’s lettuce was sitting in the bowl, and I really didn’t feel like a cooked egg, so out came the Vita-Mix.

Here’s my 7 minute make and clean-up time for a FABULOUS FAST FOOD GREEN LUNCH.

1 handful lettuce

1/2 cucumber

1 carrot

2 Tbsp. Raw sesame seeds

1 cup water

sea salt

1 tbsp. Glory bowl dressing (already homemade previously)

Blend for about 2 minutes, pour and drink. YUM. It is so good, and easy too.

I am not sure why I think eating raw food is difficult. This was easy, and takes 7 minutes, including clean-up time. BRAVO!

Now for the health benefits.

1. Raw food has all it’s enzymes in place, and the nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytonutrients are absorbed easily into your body.

2. Sesame seeds are high in protein and minerals.

3. Lettuce, carrots and cucumber each offer their own specific nutrients, such as fibre, beta-carotene, and cucumber is a great digestive aid, alkaline and cooling to the system.

Drinking one of these a day, provides 3 servings of alkaline vegetables. On cold days, I would add ginger to heat things up a bit.

So I hope I can inspire you to try this sometime when you are in a rush.

Instead of grabbing something from a bag, container, box, or pre-cooked package, make yourself a “vegetable blender drink” that your body will love, and the best part, is feeling more energy and well-being for the rest of the day.

Have you made a vege. blender drink or fast raw food?
