Coconut Green Smoothie Recipe

For lunch I made Coconut Green Smoothies.  Here is the recipe:

In blender, use coconut water and coconut meat to blend together and make a coconut milk.  Add water as needed.
In juicer, juice a bunch of cilantro, a cucumber, a lime, and two bunches of celery.
Combine the juice with the coconut milk in the blender and serve.

The coconut green smoothie was grainy because of the coconut.  Travis and I both had a glass for lunch.  It had lot's of good healthy ingredients.  It was pretty good, but not as good as our regular green smoothie.  It would have been better with young coconuts, but I had to use the old coconuts that they sell at Walmart.  The young coconuts here in the states have been dipped in formaldehyde and are not healthy to eat.  But if you can get them fresh in the tropics...they are awesome.

For lunch we also had apples, grapes, clementine oranges, and raw cashew butter.

I didn't get to walk this morning because I was not feeling well in the morning.  At 9:30 I had a flute lesson.    My exercise today was scrubbing the kitchen floor on my hands and knees with water and a scrub brush.  This method works great for cleaning the little grooves in the white tiles.

My lesson in Natural Living today was a pediatrics supplement.  Tonsils are the sentinels of the lymphatic system.  The lymphatic system is the body's sewage system.  When the sewage system is overloaded the sentinels become sore and painful.  The body is asking for time to catch up with the overload.

For supper I had raw cheese, tabouli, cucumber, a few sprouts, almonds, and a few cocoa covered almonds.

The non-raw foods I had today were herb tea and cocoa covered almonds.

Happy day.  The box arrived today from Nuts on Line.  It contained 5 organic pounds each of sunflower seeds, mung beans for sprouting, walnuts, cashews, currents, sesame seeds, dates, and sultanas.  And one pound of pink Himalayan sea salt.  Now I have everything I need to make goody balls.



The sprouts are doing great.  This is the second batch this week of a mixed seed.

I am having to reassess how busy I can get and still live the simple, natural life.  More to come on this.

To health and happiness.

Happy in the Garden

Yesterday I worked in the garden instead of walking around the neighborhood.  It is a different feeling. It's true that I only got in about 6500 steps by the end of the day instead of over 10,000, but it was a different feeling.  Travis planted some tomatoes and peppers, I cleaned the lower deck and pulled some weeds.  Lucy dug in the dirt and felt so happy.  I felt the same way. Working in the garden makes you feel happy and productive. I was puzzled by a plant growing in the herb garden as a weed.  I started pulling them out but decided to check if they are edible.  Edible weeds, such as dandelion,  can be used in our smoothies.  I put a picture on Facebook to ask for help identifying the weed, and the consensus is that it is plantain.  Some say edible and some say not, but I am inclined to think that it is edible.  My brother, Max, lives up in the mountains, and his neighbor says it is edible and the smallest leaves are best with...

The Lou Corona Story

Yesterday, we went to Magic Springs with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren.  The landscaping there is beautiful this year.  This one little flower didn't let a little concrete stop it.     Lunch today was three bananas which I ate about 1:30.  I'm letting my body rest a little bit after eating too much food the last couple of days.  I did domestic chores today.  But Travis made a trip to the City Compost Facility for another load of compost.  We'll use it on the trees we still have left to plant. We have a volunteer tomato plant coming up in one of the garden beds.  It's doing pretty well, too.  I have it on my to do list to buy some more tomato cages. The arugula I planted is up. The kale Travis planted is up. The new plum tree is planted. Here is a volunteer Poke Salat that came with the blueberry plant.  Travis planted some more blueberries in the blueberry row that lines our driveway. The...

Alko Shredder

 It was chilly this morning, but I got out and worked a bit in the garden bed that had the strawberries moved out yesterday.  I fed it with the mineral supplement and fertilizer.  I started putting on compost, but ran out of time before I finished.  We are going to plant some kale in this bed. Bed #3 weeded, minerals added, fertilized, and partly composted. Travis and I went to an estate sale today.  First thing we saw was a garden shredder.  We bought it for $60.00 and brought it home.  There are lots of leaves in my yard that could be shredded. Our new used Alko shredder...made in Germany.    For dinner tonight I made a soup.  The inspiration came from Dara Dubinet on her You-tube video, but mine was different because I used what we had. My vegetable soup recipe:  Juice a beet, 6 carrots, 3 broccoli stalks, and a sweet potato.  Then heat a pot of water on the stove, but do not boil.  In the Vita-Mix, put 3 med...
