Here is what I started my day with today:
Pineapple Ginger Green Smoothie - yum! The pineapple in this smoothie loaded my body with vitamins C and B1, as well as tons of manganese (manganese is an important cofactor for energy production). And! The vitamin C in it helped my body assimilate the iron in the kale. That's important. Gosh... then, there's all the awesome nutrition in ginger and kale. Wait! Then there is the dulse that adds even more potent nutrition (things like zinc, iodine, calcium, potassium, and more).
Wowee - this is one spectacular smoothie.

ReplyDeleteGreat smoothie. No baby yet?
ReplyDeleteGreat green smoothie idea! I could already imagine how refreshing it can be on a nice sunny afternoon. I will try it.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Why did you add the agave nectar? Just curious...
My pineapple wasn't quite
ReplyDeletesweet enough. I added about a teaspoon. :)
Kristen Suzanne is eating seaweed? Did the world just stop spinning on its axis? HAHA!
ReplyDeleteLol - it's hidden in there. ;)
ReplyDeletepineapple can also make you go into labor...
ReplyDeleteI think you'd need a lot for that to happen. I've been eating pineapple through the whole pregnancy :) No labor yet :)
ReplyDeletethis sound really yummy. i wonder if cilantro would be good with the pineapple??
ReplyDeleteGreen smoothies are the BEST!
ReplyDeleteLove this! And I'll bet it's nice and ZINGY with that knob of fresh ginger :)
ReplyDeleteThx for sharing!
Yes! I love ginger in my green smoothies too. I cut up a pineapple last night for a fruity curry and there's plenty left over. I know what I'm having for lunch...
ReplyDeleteThanks!
