Smoothies are pure love in a blender. You can make them super fast and simple, or elaborate and fancy. My first smoothie recipe: juice or peel an orange or two, blend in a half banana!
Fruit is the true, natural and perfect food for humans. It is more or less comparable in content to human mothers milk. It has just about everything you need to keep your body healthy and strong. Add some fat to your smoothie in the form of seeds and nuts, and you have a time release complete meal that will keep you going for hours.
Strictly speaking, a smoothie is just fresh raw food, else it's a 'blender drink.'Some people also add green foods to their blender drink. This is great because we do not live on an unpolluted garden planet (anymore, or yet again) so we also need veggies and greens for medicine.
I heard someone complaining about how technology has replaced work we used to do ourselves, and they exclaimed, "what will we have next, machines to chew our food for us?! "
Uh well, yeah, as a matter of fact..
I usually run all day on my smoothie, sipping as I get hungry. You can develop your own favorite blends, using whatever fruit you can get. Nuts and seeds can be soaked overnight then rinsed before using. A coffee grinder can come in handy for some things you may want to put in. I pre grind flaxseeds, bee pollen, dried gogi berries, and pumpkin seeds.
When you find your personal balance of fruit and nuts and seeds, blended to perfect creaminess, you will experience true comfort food. It is really like nursing from the Beloved Great Mother Earth in the primordial paradisiacal garden! And indeed the fruits and nuts of the trees are offered to you from the bountiful land freely and lovingly, and without need of violence. Caring for these trees benefits all the beings of the earth, providing not only food but also shelter, habitat, oxygen, soil improvement, climate cushioning, erosion prevention, water conservation, and so much more!
