Day 6 of 7-Day GSC

One more Green Smoothie recipe from the Joy for Life Retreat for you to try!

This is my variation of the recipe - instead of a banana, I added blueberries (which darken the colour).

Green Kale-doscope GS

Yield: 1 quart

1-1/2 cups kale, rib removed (combo of Red Russian kale, Curly kale, Dinosaur kale)

1 cup fresh pineapple

1 cup blueberries, frozen or fresh
3/4 cup pears, frozen or fresh
3/4 cup mango, frozen or fresh

2 cups water

• In a blender, mix together until thick and creamy

Nutri-Tip:

• Kale is well-known for its risk-lowering benefits for cancer
• Kale can help regulate the body's detoxification system at a genetic level
• The flavonoids in kale combine both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits
  
  

Follow Up:

• This is Day 6 - and my weight is down another pound. My energy is still up (I was hiking all day yesterday) and I'm feeling really good.
• In the past two weeks my weight is down 10 pounds. Beginning to anticipate my first meal, but I know that it will be small portions at first.
