How to make your gluten free green chlorophyll and protein blender drink: Note that this quantity will make around six servings of the blender drink, which you can serve up to the family, or keep in the fridge.
Put a handful of almonds into your blender, with a handful of sunflower seeds OR sesame seeds. Blend up into a coarse powder before adding the other ingredients.
Now – chop up 2 fresh, young leaves or either silver beet or spinach. Put into the blender.
Chop up one ripe, organic pear, and put this into the blender as well. To make a variation, either a banana, or the flesh of one organic orange can be substituted for the pear. Use only one fruit at a time, though, as citrus does not combine well with sweet fruits. Alternatively, if you do not have a piece of fresh fruit to use, 1/2 cup of stoned dates go very well. Dates are very nutritious, being rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin B, Magnesium, Potassium,Iron, and Calcium.
Optional: You can add a raw free range egg to this mixture if this suits your dietary needs. This gives more protein, more B Vitamins, more lecithin, iron, and Vitamins.
Optional: You can also add a handful of freshly picked parsley and/or coriander to the mixture. This increases the vitamin content, and the lactobacilli, and gives interesting flavour to the drink.
Now fill the blender up about three-quarters full with water.
Bllend the lot for around two minutes. Dilute the drink with 2 cupfuls of water after the blending process is completed.
You can drink a cupful of the drink straight away. However, the mixture is best if it is left to sit for a couple of hours. This actually increases the enzyme content and the nutritional value of the drink. Keep the remainder in the fridge for up to 24 hours, then make up a fresh drink.
