This week has been really active with the Bill Henderson Protocol Facebook group I moderate. You can usually chat with me there throughout the week, and one of our favorite topics right now is recipes for Dr. Budwig’s Cottage Cheese/ Flaxseed Oil mixture. There are many tasty ways to make it, but my favorite lately has been this one: The Vanilla Cinnamon Budwig Smoothie!
I get asked this question all of the time: “Do you have any cancer fighting juice recipes?”
Well, for a while my answer was complicated. If you look back at my holistic and natural cancer treatment story, you’ll see I didn’t really juice that much while I was going through my treatment. I mainly stuck to vegetable smoothies and salads because there was so much confusing information around juicing, juice storage or not, fruit or no fruit, masticating or centrifugal, etc.
This is one of my family’s new favorite breakfast smoothies. The Creamy Chocolate Almond Smoothie is loaded with nutrients to fill the belly up without having to drink much. And the idea came from my favorite lover of chocolate almond ice cream- my Dad, whose birthday it is today. Happy Birthday, Dad! This smoothie is for YOU!
This 3-day cancer fighting meal plan is what I used to help my body heal from cancer 10 years ago. It is loaded with anti-cancer fighting recipes and I think you’ll find it so helpful!
Just the other night a friend here in Atlanta who is healing from her breast cancer naturally texted me to ask if she could talk with me “real quick.” I had a brief moment between diaper changes and cleaning green smoothie off of my kitchen blinds, so I snuck off to the garage to sit on my rebounder and call her. (I should have been bouncing but I had no idea how serious the call might be…)
I love this smoothie. My kids REALLY love this smoothie. And it’s easy and flexible…and tastes like CHOCOLATE!
And if you have a daughter who loves the movie “Frozen”, you can tell her Anna loves this smoothie (with a wink of course.) She’ll be even more eager to slurp it down. (Anna scarfs chocolate in the movie) “I want to stuff some chocolate in my faaaaaaace.” Don’t hate me for getting that song in your head again! 🙂
A few days ago I had the most fantastic and much needed night out with two of my wonderful girlfriends. We are all mothers of two and it is really hard to get together for time without the kids. So whenever we do get together, I rule my dinner out a care-free “cheat night.”
Howdy Ya’ll! I did a guest post today on my favorite vegan friend Kayle Martin’s blog, Cowgirls and Collard Greens. Check it out!
Sounds delicious, huh!? Other names this one could be called:
The “Acquired Taste Smoothie”
The “About to Go Bad in My Fridge Smoothie”
Any others??
Alright, the point of this is that you can really put anything in a Vitamix and drink it for its nutrients. The focus is on NUTRITION, not on taste. So get your pinchers out and prepare to chug, because OUR HEALTH is worth it! Oh, and who likes to waste produce anyways? Especially when your organic food costs half your paycheck.
Just in case you were wondering- YES, that is a DUCK DYNASTY CHIA PET. But this smoothie has nothing to do with duck hunting, although you could bring it “to go” on your next hunt I suppose…and offer some to Willie, Uncle Si, and Phil.
As I’ve gotten more into fruitier green smoothies and are drinking my REALLY GREEN SMOOTHIES on much more intentional occasions, I’ve been enjoying the flavors of different fruits and supplemental foods a lot. This one is the result of some of that experimenting. (:
I HATE “due dates.” I have been meaning to publish this post for weeks now, but in my last few weeks of this pregnancy, my motivation has been my worst enemy. I am sitting here now with my second child’s “due date” being YESTERDAY. I am officially “overdue” at a time when it seems that everyone and their mother (really- their mothers too) are telling me their birth stories of how their second children were born EARLY and their labor was so FAST.
Just this morning, our good friend who was due 10 days after me went into labor with their FIRST child. We are anxiously awaiting the birth of their sweet boy or girl, but my more human, wordly side wonders WHY ON EARTH is my second baby OVERDUE when the word on the street is that second births are typically early?
I know- you are probably so over my whining. Honestly, I am too! I am grateful for this “overdue” baby after a miscarriage last summer, when I swore I would be pregnant for 1,000 months if I knew it would result in a healthy baby.
This post is my effort to get my impatient self together and make some lemonade from lemons- in more ways than one.
