Strawberry-Banana-Apple Smoothie

Start your day with a delicious fruit smoothie!

It’s fast, easy and oh so good for you! Children in particular love anything that can be “consumed” with a straw, it’s a fact! Drinking smoothies is also sweet, why would you start your day with a horrible bitter black liquid that turns your stomach acidic? Just wondering sometimes about the choices people make.

Now to our fruity glass of deliciousness. What you will need for this particular recipe is:

• 2 ripe bananas
• 4-7 strawberries
• 1 small cup of organic apple sauce
• some organic soy milk (original, not sweetened)

Put everything in the blender and mix. You can even add raspberries or leave the applesauce and add instead some frozen peaches. It’s all up to you. This recipe is just a suggestion because everybody has their own favorite fruits, milks and juices they like to add. No matter what you put in your smoothie it’s going to be a delight every time you drink it.

Now go and make yourself a nice fruity smoothie! Enjoy.

Claustrophobia

Claustrophobia is a fear of small places. a very smart natural Doctor ones said, that claustrophobia is a phosphorus deficiency and it can be cured by eating lots of celeriac and strawberries.

Celeriac is a root vegetable and taste delicious prepared as a raw salad. Grate it or cut matchsticks it and dress it with a light yogurt or mayonnaise salad dressing or a vinaigrette. Mmmm…

You can also make a outstanding veg soup with celeriac but make sure you DO eat the broth, cause the vitamins and minerals are cooked into the broth also.

And the very wise Doctor also said that children learn better if they eat enough phosphorus like strawberries. Try it, it can’t hurt!
