| Pineapple Mango Lime Coconut Thyroid-Happy Green Smoothie |
This delicious fruity smoothie is made to NOT injure or irritate the thyroid, and to be a source of energy and high immunity. My husband Ed has been drinking one of these almost every day of this month (and I mean 20 ounces by "one of these"). He has just completed riding 361 kilometers with this month's
GREAT CYCLE CHALLENGE to support children and their families in their battles against Cancer. You can learn more about that, and please donate (income tax receipted) by going

The Recipe: (Makes 2 - 20 oz. servings for you and someone you love)
*Your choice of Frozen Organic Fruit: 3 Cups (My Faves are Pineapple and Mango, mixed)
*Scoop or more of Coconut Shreds
*Juice of 1 Lime, Squeezed
* 1/2 Cup (about 200 ml) Organic Apple Sauce
*2 Scoops your fave Dry Greens Mix (I use Thyroid Greens - Goitrogen FREE green superfood powder drink mix
)
*2 tsp. (30ml) the herb/spice Turmeric
*Water to make 40 oz. (about 16 oz.-- if it is too thick, add more)
Place all the above in your VitaMix (or other blender) and whirl it up until creamy and smooth, like soft serve ice cream. It is ever so much more tasty and refreshing! And will definitely have you feeling great and full until Lunchtime! You might even find yourself cycling over 100km and doing stair-running when you get there!
I'm enjoying a terrific day here-- went shopping at the Sally Anne and came home with a stack of great fitness and gardening mags and a wonderful and recent Vita-Mix Whole Foods Recipes Book <--for 99 cents!
Then we had my all-time-favourite smoothie to date-- tasted like "summer in a glass":
- 4 ripe Apricots
- huge handful of fresh-from-the-garden Cilantro
- 1 C. + frozen organic Blueberries
- 3 frozen Bananas
- Liquid and Meat from a Young Thai Coconut
- 2 T. Ground Flaxseed (ground in coffee bean grinder)
- 4-6 oz. of Filtered Water
This recipe provided both my husband and I with about 20 oz. of sheer ambrosia. Aren't Green Smoothies just the bomb?
