HIDE THE BROCCOLI FROM THE KIDS SMOOTHIE BOWL!

Seriously, you CANNOT taste the broccoli at all, AT ALL! So this is great for kids or adults who don't eat enough cancer fighting cruciferous veggies (is this you)?! You can adjust the sweetness and add whatever toppings you like. I made over a liter of smoothie and I had about 5 cups of chopped broccoli in it! :D

Ingredients:

* 4-5 cups chopped broccoli
* 1 small cucumber
* 2 handfuls of cilantro
* 1 large red delicious apple
* 1 large lemon WITH pith
* thumb size chunk of ginger
* 1 medium banana
* 1 clementine
(pear would be amazing)

Adjust the sweetness as you go!!

Toppings:

* sprinkle cinnamon
* toasted oat cereal
* raw oats
* chia seeds
* dark chocolate chunks
(anything really) :)

Here is a plethora of Nutritional Information on a PLANT BASED DIET that has helped me understand how food affects our body and overall health:

Check out "The China Study" and "Whole" by Dr. T. Colin Campbell

Check out "Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes" by Dr. Neal Barnard

Check out "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn

Check out "The Starch Solution" by "Dr. John A. McDougall

Check out "NutritionFacts.org" by Dr. Michael Greger both on Youtube and his website

Check out the "Engine 2 Diet" by Rip Esselstyn

Also search the name of these doctors on Youtube for free lectures and interviews that will answer a host of questions you may have. Or contact them directly.


The missing link to a plant based diet is the ethical standpoint of Veganism and Gary Yourofsky's speech was the key for me to finally COMMIT to a plant based diet and a vegan lifestyle after STRUGGLING FOR 6 YEARS!
