Juice and chia

Too much fiber? Possibly, but I was really curious to try the chia gel!

Juice:

5-8 kale leaves
1/2 lb of strawberries
Handful of blueberries
2 white mangoes
3 radishes with greens

Chia gel:

1:9 is the ratio

1 tbsp chia seed
9 tbsp filtered water

Allow to sit for about 20-30 minutes for gel to form. Flavor as desired. The gel as a consistency somewhere in between jello and oatmeal. Think of a really fine, smooth, low texture similar to Irish oats.

Mushrooms in your juice?!

No, not the trippy kind!

1 (white) mango
1 zucchini
5 white mushrooms
1 honey crisp apple
1 pear
1" cube of ginger

Juice.

Note: mushrooms are the only vegetarian/ vegan food that contain vitamin d naturally!

"the juice"

I found inspiration on a blog of a man who lost his wife to cancer. He credits this juice to extending her life by 6 months. During a time when all she could stomach was ice cream and cold desserts, he bought a juicer and her body was able to handle and benefit from this juice.

I changed his recipe a bit based on what I had available, but you can see his original post here:

Thursday morning's cancer fighting juice

2 honey crisp apples
1 white mango
1 broccoli stalk and crown
2 kale leaves
6 baby carrots

Juice.

Note: I never add the kale first.
Note 2: I tried to add blue berries, but they didn't seem to add any juice.

Fruit smoothie

1 mango
6 frozen strawberries
1 banana
4 figs, peeled
1 tbsp local honey 
Almond milk, to blend

Figs and Honey were both purchased at our semi-local Ticonderoga Farm!! The figs were fresh off of the mountain and oh so delicious!
