Return strained liquid to the blender and add the other ingredients (chopped), blend well till you have a fabulous smoothie.  Drink and enjoy

Mikey's Milkshake (Unbelievably good!!)

Makes 6 services
Soak 2 cups of fresh pecans (about 1/2 pound) for about 5 minutes, rinse them, soak them another 5 minutes and rinse them again.
Then put into a Vita-Mix (or powerful blender):

8 pitted dates

A level teaspoon of Celtic Sea Salt (or to taste)

2 - 3 teaspoons of honey (or to taste)

1 and 1/2 vanilla beans (optional)

5 - 12 macadamia nuts (make it creamier!!)

Refrigerated cold water to total 60 oz.

Turn on low until the nuts are ground up. Then whip it on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.

Green Smoothies

For those with a Vita-Mix, put in the ingredients below and blend for 15 to 20 seconds.
Ingredients:

2 handfuls of spinach, mixed greens, kale or turnip greens
(Yes I know, you don't want to eat any of those. Me, too, but in a green smoothie with all the other stuff, you won't even taste them.)

1 banana

2 ripe mangoes without the skin or pit (or 2 peaches, a cup of blueberries, strawberries, pitted cherries, or an additional banana)

2 cups of refrigerated spring or distilled water

Fruit Smoothie

For those concerned about their protein in the morning or wonder what to have instead of eggs to start their day, this smoothie makes a wonderful start.
Ingredients: Soaked flax seeds, Banana, Fresh or frozen fruit and water (dates and grated orange rind optional)

Place 1-2 heaping tablespoons of soaked Flax Seeds* in your blender.

Add 1-2 cups of water.

Turn on high speed until the seeds turn thick and "goopy." Add more water if needed.

Add one peeled banana.

Add frozen or fresh fruit. If you didn't add frozen fruit and want it chilled, add ice cubes.

If you want it sweeter, add 4 - 6 soaked dates without the pits.

If you want a nice orange tang, add a bit of grated orange rind.

Mix and match any fruits you like:
Strawberries and bananas;
Peaches, strawberries and bananas; or
Peaches, pineapples, bananas and coconut.

Add raw (unroasted) carob powder to any smoothie.

I keep a container of flax seeds soaking in the refrigerator just like other people keep milk or eggs on hand. I also keep a small dish of soaking dates in water to use as a sweetener.

Dr. Kirschner's Green Drink In an Out of Print Book by Dr. Kirschner, I Found This Wonderful Recipe, which I've Modified a Little

1 pineapple, juiced

15 almonds, soaked

4 dates, soaked and pitted

2 heaping tbsp. of soaked sunflower seeds

1–2 large handfuls (or more) of fresh green leaves (see below)

1/2 tsp. kelp powder

1) Juice 1 pineapple, then put into the blender with all the other ingredients and blend well.

Makes approximately 1 quart of a delicious and nutritious drink. Best consumed the same day.

 NOTE: The green leaves can be one or a combination of watercress, parsley, spinach, arugula, beet tops, etc. or you can use wild herbs if you can get them. Dr. Kirschner had his own garden of wild edible weeds, such as lamb’s quarters, purslane, comfrey, chickweed, filaree, malva, dandelion, etc. 

VARIATION: This drink can also be made with just the pineapple juice blended with the green leaves.
