A really healthy and energising way to start your day.   Get off the junk food cereals and animal nasties.   Do your health some good and feed up a happy, healthy microbiome instead.

It’s way better than coffee.

Into a blender:

15g dried fig
15g currants — dried fruit
14g blueberries — frozen blueberries are really cheap
28g summer fruit mix — raspberries, blackberries, black currants & red currants
1 apple
50g orange — peel an orange and keep remainder in container in fridge
50g raw broccoli — chop up a whole head of broccoli and freeze it
100g celery
7g fresh ginger
50g Beetroot — chop up fresh beetroot and freeze, leaves and stems included if they’re healthy
30g white mushrooms — important for b vitamins
50g carrots
70g red cabbage — peel off outer leaves and keep in bag in chill drawer
20g fresh or 2g dried nettle
20g fresh or 2g dried dandelion
1/8 tsp ground ginger — ground ginger has different healthy nutrients to fresh ginger so we always use both
1/8 tsp ground turmeric
1/8 tsp ground amla — amla is Indian gooseberry
.4g dried chili — whole dried chili is better than pre-ground
0.15g dried kelp — for iodine, absolutely “do not” consume more kelp than 0.15g in a day
.25ml Viridian Liquid D = 1000iu. — add the same to your evening meal to allow better absorption of your 2000iu a day
2.1g flax seeds
2.1g chia seeds
270g boiling water
6g green tea — optional caffeine hit instead of that morning coffee

Blend to smooth and pour into a bowl, then stir in:

27g cooked soya beans
