Shake/Food Recipe:
Vegetables:
Romaine lettuce, Carrots, Celery, Sweet Potatoes (and/or yams), Squash, Zucchini, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions, Parsley* (I’m leaving out parsley!)
You want equal amounts of everything except for lettuce, Parsley & onions. Use about 3 times the amount of lettuce, small amount Onion/Parsley.
Basically you will be filling the blender about half way with chopped Romaine lettuce and then adding the other ingredients.
Fruit:
Anything but citrus, peaches or berries. I recommend Pineapple, Bananas, Pears or Grapes. Or a combination of them all.
Other ingredients:
Unsweetened apple juice
Unsweetened soy milk (I use Rice milk)
Olive oil
Green Tea bags
Cinnamon (I don’t put this in as I read somewhere it not good for psoriasis)
Honey & Fresh lemons
Preparation:
If you try to cut all this stuff up every day you will soon tire. It is also very difficult to make fresh salads with these ingredients and expect to consume them every day. The amount of chewing required would be time consuming enough. So here is my stern recommendation to help you with the process.
FIRST: Chop up all the vegetables into small sized pieces (a size that will be friendly to the blender that will be turning it into a liquid).
SECOND: Wash all these vegetables well in a colander or other type of good volume strainer.
THIRD: Shake off as much water as possible, mix all vegetables evenly and bag in some large zip-lock freezer bags and store in freezer.
NOTE: I highly recommend you make enough to cover your needs for about a week. This amounts to about 2 large heads of lettuce and every thing else relative to that. This saves time, insures a good cold shake each day and keeps your vegetables fresh.
ANOTHER NOTE: You can chop, wash, bag and freeze your fruits too but I actually prefer to cut and add fruit in fresh.
You can also use pre-frozen fruits or vegetables from the store.
Making the shake:
Add your frozen vegetable mix to the empty blender leaving only enough room for your fruits.
Making the shake:
Add your frozen vegetable mix to the empty blender leaving only enough room for your fruits.
Add a good handful of your choice of fruits. This should completely fill the blender.
Add 1 1/2 cups of the apple juice
Add 1/2 cup of the soy , rice or oat
Add clean fresh water up to the level of vegetables (you may need to add more later for consistency)
Add the contents of one Green Tea Bag.
Add 3 tablespoons of the olive oil (you really don't taste it)
Add one 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon (I don’t put this in as I read somewhere it not good for psoriasis)
Add 1 full tablespoon of honey or pure maple syrup
Squeeze in the juice of about 1/2 of a lemon.
Add flax-seed (2 table spoons raw seed or 1 tablespoon flax-flour or 1/2 table spoon flax-oil)
Put the blender lid on securely, blend on medium for about 1 minute (or until contents are smooth).
Add water as needed for consistency then blend on high for another 1-2 minutes. We want it to become a smooth liquid.
