Hi rise and shine how are we all doing this glorious morning? I guess we have seen lots of beautiful breakfast smoothies’ posted here on Steemit. Why would I post another smoothie story you may ask, I guess that I really love the combination of the mighty sea vegetable in my break fast and the benefits that Irish moss brings to my health daily. Irish moss it nutritious and mineral dense, Irish moss has 15 of the 18 essential nutrients that make up our bodies. These nutrients include vitamins A, D, E, F and K. It is also a great source of iodine, potassium, sulphur, and calcium. I never measure any of my recipes when I am cooking or making natural juices, I was taught that cooking is done with your tongue, eyes, nose ears and heart to create food from the soul my grandmother always said this to my mother. So please be patient with me as I create recipes with measurements. I would add that if you try any of the recipes I post you should get the ingredients listed and have fun with tailoring the recipes to suit your own taste buds or dietary needs.
INGREDIENTS
• Irish moss 25g
• Whole Pomegranate
• Strawberries 50g
• Sorrel 15g
• Ginger root 5g
• whole Prickly Pear
• Baobab powder 15g
• Plums de-seed3
• Apricots de-seed2
• Barley/Wheat grass optional 5g
METHOD
Wash all fruits I soak and wash my fruits in 3% H202 food grade to kill bacteria and neutralize chemicals. If you don’t have food grade H202 to remove chemicals and pesticides pure white vinegar or salt a can be used as an alternative. A 10% salt solution appears to work as good as or better than full-strength vinegar. To make a 10% salt solution, you just have to mix up about one-part salt to nine-part water (though make sure to rinse all of the salt off before eating!).
- Wash Irish moss to clean excess salt and any debris.
- Soak the Irish moss in spring water or distilled water for a few hours the Irish moss it will expand and become like a gel.
- Get a saucepan and then add the Irish moss and the gel like water into the saucepan on a low heat
- Add Sorrel and ginger to the Irish moss and let it simmer for 10 – 15 mins.
- Put your fruits into the blender.
- Pour the Irish moss into the blender with the fruits.
- Add Baobab powder to the blender, you can also add your Barley/Wheat grass at this point optional.
*.Blend your Irish moss and fruits for 3 minutes until blended.
*. Pour into glasses and drink.
