raw&porrige dreamshake

ENGLISH

I'm just back from my Health Adviser course and, WOW, this morning has been delivered to me one of 30th birthday presents, the Vita-mix blender!! From my mother in law, god bless her! So I've to immediately try my new toy!

Is about a couple of weeks that I'm quite yang due the combination of my period, my stiff liver, and the autumn that is a Metal time. I found myself hyper focused and plenty of energy but really imbalanced: pushing others, with a low patience, shoulder blades pain and night grinding teeth. Quite a mess, I know.

So I need some opening food for the liver also I feel like smoothness and fresh flavours together. And of course I wanted to play with  my new tool!

I just invented this breezy and nutritious smoothy milkshake without any milk, (but you can really deem there is some in), to enjoy as a diverse breakfast. I think it can be very good for children as well.

This recipe is really Yin except for the porridge so has to be eaten carefully. The energy of the 5 transformation related with this recipe is Tree, and with a correct diet, can help to release from a transitory stiff(Yang) liver condition.

{ingredients}

 

{dreamshake for 2} 

1 sour green apple
2 purple carrots (purple just for a better color)
1/2 stalk celery
1/2 cup of plain barley porridge
a drop of shoyu
a pick of salt1 teaspoons of rice syrup or apple concentrate if needed

few toasted seeds or 2 almonds (optional, to avoid for serius liver issues)

 

{technique}

Wash and drain the fruit & veggie and cut into chunks. Pulse all ingredients start blending on the low power and than turn on maximum for 3 minutes, or until beautifully smoothed.

-If you are fancy to have a more acidulous flavour maybe drop in some lemon. I cannot for instance, due my kidney issues, because lemon "wash" away the minerals from them. Although, if you have problem to digest apples because acid, you can slightly cook them or replace with blueberries or beetroot if fruit doesn't work at all with you.

Serve room temperature or slightly cold.
And even if is a smoothy remember to chewing well, is really important for a good digestion!
