Cherry Smoothie Recipes and Nutrition Cherries are one of my favorite fruits to use in a green smoothie. Use them as a flavor accent along with creamy base fruits such as banana, mango, papaya and pear. Cherries are popular sweet fruit grown throughout the world. There are more than two million tons that are grown every year. The cherry has a short growing season however, and is only in peak season in the summer. Cherries are not just eaten raw but are also commonly used in pies and other baked goods, jams and jellies, and other recipes due to their sweet flavor. Cherry Nutrition and Health Benefits Cherries provide a powerful dose of antioxidants and are considered a “super fruit”. Anthocyanins are antioxidants that give the cherry its red color. Cherries are low on the glycemic chart and are a great choice for those with diabetes. Cherries are among a few foods that contain melatonin.

Yes! You CAN Eat Indian Corn! And it is Yummy! You see why I have ears and ears of Indian Corn laying around! I consider it eye candy! That blue one on the left is my absolute favorite. But eat it? However.......... in the interest of finding out, I decided to sacrifice three of the least attractive ears in my collection Since we have had a unusually cool summer this year, the Indian Corn is not yet ready to harvest. Fresh Indian Corn from the this year's harvest is not dry enough for grinding - you will need to let it dry a few months. Removing the kernels from the husks is very easy as they pop right off when you apply gentle pressure with your fingers. I was feeling quite timid about this little experiment - mainly because I had no clue what I was doing! Very noisy! I am aware that there is a wonderful machine available for grinding grain, but since I don't own one, I wanted to see if I could find a tool more commonly found in kitchens that would work. Just look at this! I found these three really useful and informative posts.
Thanksgiving!! « Bountiful Baskets Blog I love the fall season- it exudes comfort. Walking outside surrounded by crisp, cold air and catching the scent of the first lighted fireplace of the season; wrapping tight in a blanket, sipping tea, and reading a book on the couch while enjoying the deep red, orange, and brown harvest decorations that fill every corner of my home; bundling the family in sweaters, hats, and mittens to play a game of flag football and crunch fallen leaves- these are only some of the simple pleasures that this season brings. Of course one of the greatest comforts is fall food cooked in a kitchen filled with family. When the smell of pumpkin, cinnamon, lemon, turkey, and fresh baked bread come floating in, my mouth waters and my heart melts. It is hard not to feel grateful when surrounded by all of these blessings.

Orange Julius Recipe P.S. This post may contain affiliate links to products or services I use, enjoy, or recommend. By making purchases through these links, you are supporting the companies or products I believe in, and you're supporting Food Renegade. Thank you! During my childhood, Orange Julius was a source of delight on Saturday morning outings to the mall. These days, raw eggs are unjustly frowned upon thanks to rising outbreaks of salmonella. Orange Julius, the company, has since adapted its original orange julius recipe to accommodate the changing landscape of conventional nutritional wisdom. Want a trip down memory lane? I’ve chosen to use whole oranges instead of juicing them. I’ve also chosen to use more raw egg yolks in this recipe because almost all of the ever-important nutrients like DHA, folate, choline and the essential vitamins like A, D, E, K-2, B-6, & B-12 live in the yolk rather than the white. The Players The How-To Yields 2 16oz orange julius drinks. Enjoy! (photo by ibyangbabe)

Why Quinoa Should be Your #1 Choice of Grains For Food Saving | Organic Survivalist Site Stocking up with as much protein reserves is probably your first consideration when it comes to food saving and storage. Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is one of the best grain options because not only it is super high in protein but it is very versatile in its uses. It can be cooked and used like rice or ground into flour to make breads and pastries… while providing super high amounts of protein. One cup of cooked quinoa has 12 grams of protein! 1 cup of quinoa flour has 16 grams of protein! Quinoa can also be sprouted and used as a tasty salad green. Quinoa is perhaps one of the most perfect non-animal sources of protein on the planet. The amino acid lysine in particular is crucial for repairing the body and bringing recovery to your body. It is also a food that has a low glycemic index. Quinoa is also gluten free and is considered to be an excellent alternative to other grain foods like wheat that contribute to the growth of candida. Quinoa is a favorite of vegans for this reason.
