Nourishment for Mom

Since its not easy finding time to cook (or if you don't like to cook), I've been making shakes...and they're delicious!  I thought I would share an easy recipe:

1 c. water
4 ice cubes
1 c. kale
1/2 carrot
1/2 banana
1 apple (I like them peeled)
a few frozen peach slices

blend and...ta daaaa!  It smells yummy and it's super refreshing.  The blend doesn't go overboard on the veggies or the fruit...it's a perfect balance of the two.  The faint scent of banana and the fresh taste of apple-y peaches...aaaahhhh.  Don't skip out on the kale!!  It seems weird to eat it raw, I know, but your body needs the vitamins, it's better for you this way, and you can't even taste it!  So go for it!  (The kale makes the shake green, too.  Neat-o.)

Another thing...it's always tasty to add pineapple juice instead of water.  Water works, too, because I had no choice.  For those of you that know me, you know that juice doesn't last long in this house--or in your house when I'm over there for that matter.

Sometimes I add the Greens Powder from Isagenix, but sometimes I don't.  It really just depends on whether or not I can remember to do so.  Most days, I cannot remember anything.

Enjoy!
