After I did the quinoa post I decided to share this smoothie recipe as well. It's an updated 'magic drink'. (I used to do one with orange juice and banana - but this one is more refreshing, and it includes greens - so I like to have one every day.)<br />
<br />
The basic idea is a base of kale (or spinach or any other dark, leafy greens) in coconut water - and you add sweet fruits to make the flavor of the greens more pleasant. You can mix up the fruit choices. Some days I use berries and pineapple, others I'll use peaches and grapes - just use what you have around. I also add a few supplements.<br />
<br />
Oh, and by the way, I'm not so good with measuring. I just kind of throw things in, which I know is not very helpful when giving out a recipe... If your drink ends up being too thick, just add more coconut water and blend some more.
You'll get the hang of how much fruit to add for your preferred consistency after
you've done it a couple of times<br />
<br />
BASE<br />
About 2 cups of coconut water<br />
about 1 cup of kale<br />
1/2 apple<br />
<br />
FRUIT (pick a couple)<br />
frozen pineapple (ma<br />
frozen berries<br />
frozen peaches<br />
grapes<br />
<br />
SUPPLEMENTS<br />
1 scoop multivitamin powder<br />
1 TBSP flax seed oil<br />
1 TBSP coconut oil<br />
1 TBSP chia seeds<br />
<br />
Just mix everything in a high-powered blender (like a Vitamix) and enjoy! <br />

But when I tried my niece's salad I changed my opinion of the grain. This recipe is delicious - so I thought I'd share it:<br />
<br />
<u>Daphne's Quinoa Salad</u><br />
<br />
about 3 cups cooked quinoa<br />
<div>
blanch a handful of string beans (pop in
salted boiling water for 15 seconds until just tender and then shock in a
bowl of ice water to stop cooking); chop into bite size pieces</div>
<div>
sautee/fry thinly sliced shallots or onions, about 1 small onion total</div>
<div>
2 tablespoons dried currants</div>
<div>
1 can cooked garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed</div>
<div>
1 can cooked kidney beans, drained and rinsed</div>
<div>
candied lemon zest, optional</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
toss
onions, currants, and garbanzo/kidney beans all together in a bowl with
quinoa and string beans while they are still warm. make dressing: 1/2
cup olive oil, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon maple syrup/honey
or agave; juice from 1/2 lemon, salt, pepper, 1/2 tsp ground coriander
(more to taste). Pour dressing over and allow steam/dressing to help
currants plump up. If you want a little heat, chop in 1/4 habanero
pepper. add fresh chopped parsley & slivered almonds if desired.
Enjoy!!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
P.s. I use cranberries instead of currants, and I leave out the lemon zest. </div>
