Favorite stir-ins are:
Ground up Orange peels for added Vitamin C (it has helped with the vog scratchy throat thing to wipe it out. I can feel the difference when I take more Vitamin C).
Chia seeds for added omega 3's and protein that keeps you full, which can help with weight loss. As a bonus they add thickness to a juice smoothie.
Diatomaceous Earth is my favorite mineral to add. It is great for everything, especially making your skin look younger, besides all the health benefits of lowering cholesterol and so much more. I will write more about this one later. It tastes like chalk but it hides well in a smoothie.
Fresh mint and now spinach from my garden. Picking your herbs fresh, and then consuming them while they are alive, you can truly feel their energy with every sip. It's probably why the raw food craze has taken off.
You really can feel the difference from fresh and alive verses what you may have purchased at the grocery store and it's been sitting in your veggie drawer in the fridge.
Still, it's better to add it however you got it. It adds fiber and flavor that you just can't get from an extract. I still like those to...mmmm speaking of extracts, almond, vanilla and coconut extracts are very yummy splashes to add to a smoothie.
I love honey and have given up on agave for now. I need to research it more, but it may be that agave syrup is made like high fructose corn syrup, it may be better if you can get it organic and just check the manufacturers processing.
Alright, it's time to blend. I really do feel a bit like a mad scientist when I get to experiment with the blender. Just grateful to have brave souls to try whatever I create. At least it's fun.
Happy Healthy Eating!
Love Always,
Maile
