GREEN JUICE AND GRANOLA RECIPES

It's a pain in the butt to look for my past posts for recipes. People have been interested in my magic elixir of life.
After many months of doing it I have come up with a recipe that tastes like apple sauce.

GREEN JUICE: (in my blender)

for juicers you will have to peel all fruits and veggies, and cut smaller, and not add water.
(2) Green Apples with Skin cut up into manageable chunks for your juicer or blender
(2) Oranges or any citrus fruit peeled (keeps it fresh for longer)
(2-3) Large Carrots peeled and cut
(3-4) large fist fulls of fresh spinach leaves or one fist full of frozen spinach
(2) leaves of Kale
(2) Broccoli Florets
(1-2) cups of water
sprinkle the entire top of your blender with cinnamon. It masks the taste of the kale and broccoli which to me smell like farts.

Great other options to add in:
*Frozen Pineapple
*Strawberries
*Banana
Green Peppers
Red Cabbage

Blend for two minutes.

Depending on the consistency that you like:
 add more water. Stir it before drinking.
*= amazingly yummy in your tummy!


HOMEMADE GRANOLA

Basically you add Nuts and Seeds to Old Fashioned Oats along with a few healthy sweet things. Toast it, and add some dried fruit. Done. Here is what I normally do... but it varies on what I have sitting around. 

(2-4) cups Old Fashioned Oats
(1-2) Fist fulls of Chopped Walnuts
(1-2) Fist Fulls of Chopped Pecans
(1) Fist full of Pumpkin Seeds
(1/2 cup) of Shredded Coconut
(1/4 cup) flax seeds ground



Put this all in a large bowl and stir it together
Sprinkle and coat evenly the top with cinnamon.
Squeeze enough Honey of your liking to cover the top of the cinnamon.
Sprinkle about four pinches of brown sugar.
Add a cap full of Vanilla Extract

Mix together.
Make sure that every piece of Oatmeal has been touched by honey, or cinnamon.

Spread it out on a baking sheet evenly
Put on the top rack of your oven at 250 for ten minutes.
Any longer and it will burn the nuts and smell like you set a cat on fire.

Take it out mix it about
put back in for another 10 minutes.
Done.

Add a ton of raisins or cranberries, or plum raisins.

Stick in some recycled jars from spaghetti sauce or something like that....
Eat it plain as a snack,
Add milk to it and make it a cereal
or Add Yogurt to it... with some strawberry preserves.

Enjoy!
