In the Kitchen — Shake Preparation
· Kale 1-2 leaves without the stem
· Cilandro- a handful
· Spirulina powder (1/4 spoon)
· 2 green apples cut into cubes with the skin or 2 cups bluberries
· 3 limes including the white skins
· 1 cucumber
· ½ glass of water
· ½ glass of fresh orange juice or fresh grapefruit juice
Place all the ingredients in a blender.Add a little bit of water at first and start blending. You may need to stop few times the blender and mix all the ingredients, using a wooden spoon. Add gradually more water, juice and ice until you get a smooth shake. This shake is best when fresh, however, you can keep it refrigerated for few hours.
How often ?
You may drink ONE large glass for breakfast, with 10 almonds (best to pre soak the almonds in water for 2-4 hours, it helps digest the fat and protein better). You can substitute lunch with another glass of this shake. It is rich in Protein and has all the amino acid that your body needs for proper metabolism.
Benefits of Spirulina

Detox heavy toxins and metal from the body
Lower blood pressure
Lower insulin and glucose levels in the blood
Lower cholesterol and serum triglycerides (the bad fat)

Do not drink coffee when drinking spirulina at least 1 hour before or after.
Some people are sensitive to Spirulina because of its Iodine content - I suggest, therefore to substitute it with 1-2 tablespoons of Moringa which is another powerful green mix
Moringa leaves are an excellent source of many vitamins and minerals. One cup of fresh, chopped leaves (21 grams) contains
