Since reading your blog, I was motivated to get onto the movement as well. I am a pretty healthy eater working my way vegan. Anyhow, I been looking for a great way to get more greens into my kids and my diets for added benefits and greater health. With me being a single mom and going to school I needed something quick and healthy that was going to pack nutrients and energy that tasted good so my kids would drink it. My daughter has horrible acne issues and nothing seems to work, my son very picky eater so this is my challenge.
Just finished a 6 day pure juice out of a juice machine and now moving to the monsters for all benefits of juices and vegetables. Today I made my kids a chocolate amazing meal drink w/chocolate soy milk and while it was a little chunky they still drank and liked it, so will probably blend it to make a shake next time. But I feel great knowing they got alot of amazing greens and antioxidants.
Me, I just made my first green monster, loved it and I feel fabulous. I will let you know how I feel after two weeks of doing so.
This is my recipe: 2 handfulls of organic baby spinach, 1 tbsp chia seed, 1 1/4 cup of soy milk, 1/4 cup plain kifir, 1/2 cup filtered water, 1 scoop amazing grass wheat grass, cinnamon, nutmeg, 4 frozen strawberries, 1/4 cup organic blueberries, 1 kiwi, 1 tsp agave nectar, and ice.
Thick and shake like, wonderful! I will be playing with other flavors as well. And I cant wait to add amazing grass meal to them as well for a complet balanced meal as well as other amazing grass products, as well as the life’s basic protein another reader suggestion.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
