Dr. Hyman’s Green Breakfast Smoothie This is probably the healthiest smoothie in the whole world. It is all veggies so drink up. Per Dr Mark Hyman “after giving up sugar for long periods of time, I find that I don’t need to have sweet shakes in the morning. Instead, I crave nutrient dense foods that fill me up and keep me going for hours” I suspect Dr Hyman had Morgellons as well since I saw some pictures of him when he was ill and he had to stop working for over a year. I hope you enjoy this treat. - INGREDIENTS - • 1 lemon, quartered (washed and unpeeled) - ( I like to use lime as well). • 1 whole avocado, peeled and pitted • 2 stalks celery • 2 cups spinach • ½ bunch parsley • ½ bunch cilantro • 1 organic cucumber (washed and unpeeled) • 1 teaspoon organic extra-virgin olive oil • pinch of sea salt • water as needed Directions 1.

I am psyched about trying the green drink! And, wanted to add that I was making my own mayo for a couple years now and I use the food processor. It takes less than 5 mins. My mayo recipe is: 2 egg yolks (room temp) 1 whole egg 1/2 tsp dry mustard 1/2 tsp salt large pinch of white pepper 2 TBS of lemon juice Let that mix for about 10 seconds and then start the drizzle in of 1-1 1/2 cups light olive oil (sadly EVOO gives the mayo a bitter taste). It starts to emulsify pretty quickly and comes out perfectly every time. I could never get it to emulsify when I tried electric beaters. I read that it keeps in fridge for as long as the eggs were good for as indicated on their carton. I actually don't like my mayo so thick so I started making mine with 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 avocado oil. Anyway, it is great in egg, tuna or chicken salads! Looking forward to more real life recipes like the ones you've posted. Cheers! Mary Lemon water Tea (The more, the merrier!) Almond Milk Introduce yourself to juicing/blending Veggies!!!
