Finally, I got to catch up on my sleep last night with 9.5 amazing hours of slumber. I feel fantastic!
Today it’s me against the cabbage again, and this time I think I got the upper hand. I was very pleased with the citrus-heavy shake I did yesterday, so I tried the same trick against the mild sulfur flavor of the cabbage.
Ingredients:
1/2 C Sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and cacao nibs
1/2 Fist-size chunk of cabbage
1/2 Large Carrot
1 Orange
1/2 Grapefruit
1 Frozen banana
1/2 C Frozen pineapple
3 C Orange Juice
1 T Lime Juice
2 t Sugar
Job 1 is to get the grains, carrot, and cabbage into tiny, tiny bits. I put everything up through the grapefruit into the blender, along with a little orange juice and let it go for almost 3 minutes. The flavor at this point was very bitter because of the grapefruit and cabbage.
Next I added the frozen fruit and some more orange juice and blended for about 30 seconds until the mixture was smooth. When I tasted it this time, it was sweeter, but it still needed some more “oomph”, so I added lime juice and sugar. That did it!
The cabbage taste wasn’t 100% gone, but it was diminished enough so as not to impeded my enjoyment of this smoothie. I’ll be happy to make this one again!
