Liver Lover Smoothie Recipe

October 28, 2013, 5:43 pm

≪ Previous: Fasoli (Greek Bean and Vegetable Soup)

½ cup coconut milk (use canned coconut milk, NOT low fat variety)
½ cup fresh or frozen berries (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries etc), washed
½ banana, peeled
1 tablespoon of Synd-X Slimming protein powder
2 cups water (can vary this if you want it thicker)
Ice

Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth and well mixed. Sprinkle with nutmeg on top and add extra ice cubes if desired.

Please note – lots of folks think that coconut is unhealthy and fattening – well they are wrong! Coconut fat is rapidly metabolized for energy and is rich in lauric fatty acid, which is a prime ingredient in breast milk and acts as a natural infection fighter. Why not try the coconut oil for cooking?

Quick and easy chicken drumsticks

≪ Previous: Liver Rescue Juice

Serves 4

8 chicken drumsticks
¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup olive or macadamia nut oil
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt and pepper, to taste

Combine all ingredients except drumsticks in a bowl. Make some superficial cuts in the drumsticks with a sharp knife. This will allow the flavor from the marinade to seep into the chicken flesh.

Place the drumsticks into the bowl with the marinade and rub it in well with your hands.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for an hour.

Cook the drumsticks in a preheated 425º F oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until cooked through and browned. Cooking time depends on the size of the drumsticks.
Turn the drumsticks over a couple of times in the oven while cooking.

Store bought mayonnaise is almost always full of damaged omega 6 rich vegetable oil such as soy or canola oil. Making your own with olive oil or macadamia nut oil produces a far healthier and more delicious result.

2 eggs, preferably organic
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon good quality salt
2 cups extra virgin olive oil or cold pressed macadamia nut oil

Place all ingredients except oil into a blender and process until combined. With the motor running, drizzle the oil in extremely slowly. It is important to do it slowly so that the mayonnaise thickens properly.

Place the mayonnaise into a glass jar and store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
