The Doobie Smoothie

Yes. That is me posing for this picture, oblivious to my daughter stuffing a giant strawberry into her mouth.

The Doobie Smoothie was birthed out of some experimentation in the kitchen, and since my daughter, Ruby-Claire absolutely loves it so much, I named it after her.

Don’t let your mind wander too much…her nickname “Doobie” resulted out of pure rhyming thematic of course! “Ruby” rhymes with what else but…”doobie.”

And, oh yes…I am completely aware of the other meaning of “doobie.” Makes me think of two things…and the latter sings “China Grove.”

 

The Doobie Smoothie

OK, so no scaredy cats over the cauliflower! R-C loves it which probably means it is taste-bud safe for adults too. It actually adds a nice creamy consistency!

In honor of my beautiful baby girl, Ruby-Claire, here is “The Doobie Smoothie!”

You will Need:

1 banana

6 strawberries

4 florets cauliflower

1 large collard leaf or 3/4 cup chopped

1/2 cup almond milk

stevia or honey to taste

Add all ingredients except stevia and honey into a Vitamix (for best results) or blender. Add stevia or honey to taste if needed.

  1. That is fantastic.

    Apart from the 7 steps stated in Bill Henderson’s book, the rebounding and the dietary changes, did you do any other things to heal ? Did you add any extra healing methods or protocols ? Or were those the only things ?

    Thank you

  2. Hi Courtney,
    Thank you for all the information you put on your website.

    What is your situation now ? Are you already healthy ? Are you now healed ?

  3. hi jennifer,

    i was wondering if you have any problems with the high sugar content of the fruit/veg smoothies.

    thanks,
    maria

    • Hi Maria,

      I personally don’t DRINK these fruit smoothies. Any fruit smoothie you see on my blog are for my daughter or husband who never had cancer. I will add though- that combining fresh greens with fruit smoothies will lower the absorption rate (glycemic index) of the sugar from the fruit. Just a tip!

  4. Hey Jennifer,

    I DO actually color my hair. I use a technique called “Balayage.” It’s a French technique which means “to sweep.” Although the chemicals are NOT organic, I only have to color my hair every 5-6 months since my highlight colors are close enough to my original color. Also, the technique phases the color from light to dark so it’s a gradual change and not a drastic edge of color.

    For shampoo I switch off and on from “No Poo”- using baking soda and apple cider vinegar to remove dirt and oil from the hair, and Giovanni shampoo with Whole Foods fragrance free conditioner. I use the shampoo and conditioner for a month after coloring and then switch back to No Poo. (:

  5. Hi…a question totally unrelated to the Doobie Smoothie..lol. You have the most beautiful hair…do you color it? ..and if yes, please tell me of some kind of organic hair color products that I might use. i am trying to remove all toxins from my house, and that includes make-up, body products, and hair products. But hair color is so difficult. At this point, I just want to cover my gray hair, no drastic change of color.
    Thanks 🙂

  6. Hi Cortney, have you ever tried Coconut Nectar rather than stevia or honey? You should try it sometime if you haven’t. It’s an amazing substitute for sweetener.
