Blended Salads

Date: August 19, 2009 05:40PM Since I am healing I need more nutrients and I took a Dr. Gian Cursio's advice and started making blended salads. Blended gives you up to 5 times more nutrient than what you can get by grinding the ingredients with your teeth.
I blend 1 tomato, 1/2 cucumber, 8" of celery, 6 or 7 leaves of Romaine Lettuce in a VitaMix 5000 and have that for breakfast and for lunch with juice and fruit. The blended salad tastes pretty good. I have added avocado which made it nicer. I have also added ginger and curry, just a little bit, which makes it different. You can experiment. The point is to keep it vegetable (the tomato is botanically a fruit and so is an avocado but they work in this veggie delight). Keep it organic if you can and definately keep it fresh ingredients.

I make mine in my food processer. This way I can "partially" blend it, maybe 60-70%. I like it this way, and it still offers itself to chewing. Another good thing to do is put the blended salad in a leafy wrap, such as a romaine leaf or collard green. Yeah! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
