Ginger Pear Smoothie Recipe

Ginger Pear Smoothie Recipe #1

Ingredients:

1 banana
½ pear, cored
2 cups cold water (or 1 ½ cups water plus 1 cup ice)
1 tablespoon hemp protein
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 tablespoon fresh ginger

Instructions:

Blend well. This is a refreshingly crisp smoothie, designed as an inflammation reducer. It’s not too sweet, although the riper the pear, the sweeter it will be. If you want it even sweeter, add one or two fresh or soaked, dried dates.

WHAT IS THE BROW CHAKRA?

Also known as the “third eye chakra,” the brow chakra is blue and is situated at the forehead, between the eyes. It is the center for self-realization, intuition and sleep.

This smoothie aides the health of this chakra, as it is pure brain food. Not only do the berries provide a rich source of antioxidants, but so does the Vega™ Oil Blend, which lists pomegranate, green tea, black raspberry, and blueberry
seed extracts as ingredients. Moreover, this ultra-virgin, cold pressed oil is abundant in essential fats like Omega-3, 5, 6, and 9, which are crucial for optimum brain and nerve function. The Berry Vega® also adds a nice flavor and protein to the mixture.

WHY IS BEE POLLEN GOOD FOR ME?

Bee pollen, the food of the young bee, is almost 40% protein (in the form of over 30 amino acids) and is considered by many to be one of nature’s most completely nourishing foods. The alkaline food is packed not only with proteins
but with many enzymes, trace minerals and vitamins, including B-complex and folic acid. Bee pollen has been said to increase energy and stamina, increase muscle growth and definition, strengthen the immune system, provide antioxidant activity, enhance sexuality, and smooth wrinkles.

Please note that bee pollen may cause gastrointestinal irritation and allergic reactions. If you’re new to pollen, begin with ingesting only a small amount of pollen (about ¼ teaspoon) before enjoying this nutritious food in larger doses.

Calcium Concoction Smoothie Recipe

Calcium Concoction Smoothie Recipe

Smoothie Recipe Ingredients:

7–8 Turkish figs
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
Water

Directions:

Soak the figs overnight in just enough water to cover the fruits. The next day, blend the water, figs, and sesame seeds together. The very high calcium content of the two main ingredients makes this an ideal choice for those looking to support their bones, regenerate teeth, or breastfeed.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FIG AND A DATE?

First of all, figs and dates are two completely different fruits. Also, figs, which range dramatically in color, grow on
Ficus trees while dates, light brown in hue, grow on palms. Figs take on a teardrop shape and contain many small
seeds. Their counterpart, dates, are oblong and have one large pit inside them. Figs aren’t just deliciously sweet with a complex texture, but they are a rich source of potassium, calcium, and fiber as well. Similarly, dates are ‘nuggets
of nutrition’ that supply a substantial amount of both soluble and insoluble fiber and potassium. Despite their few differences, both fruits are wonderful to use as natural, raw sweeteners–in place of syrups and refined sugars.
