Citywellness (me and Aarona) just returned from a fantastic retreat at magical Eden Hot Springs, Arizona, where we ate divine raw food courtesy of genius living-foods chef Elaina Love. During a "un"-cooking demo, Elaina showed us how to make her signature Super Hero smoothie. It's so delicious we just had to let y'all know about it too! I make this power-beverage every morning now, and drink it as my brain food at work. Try it out and let us know what you think!
Recipe:
(for one)
3 T hemp seeds
1 1/2 C water
1 T goji berries/powder
1 T cacao nibs/powder
2 t maca powder (be careful, this is an aphrodisiac!)
1 T green powder (should have sea and land greens in it)
4 dates/1 t of sweetener of your choice
1 t cinnamon
pinch of fresh vanilla bean (optional)
Blend everything together until you have a smooth consistency. The smoothie is thinner than you might expect - more like a dense green-chocolate milk.
Details:
This smoothie includes all the essential daily nutrients - hemp carries healthy fats and protein,
goji berries are high in anti-oxidants, cacao is an energy-boosting re-mineralizer, maca strengthens the immune systems, and the greens cleanse your blood! Even cinnamon helps lower blood sugar. . . you can also make the recipe with nut milk and fresh fruit for an equally satisfying meal. You can pick up the ingredients at most health food stores, or check out SunFood for the highest quality raw food products.
