Breakfast always seems to be a challenge for those transitioning to an alkalarian diet - and Shelley Young (Dr. Robert O. Young's wife and coauthor of several books) has developed some wonderful recipes. Here is Rusty's favorite shake for breakfast - from "The pH Miracle for Weight Loss", p. 221-222.
"AvoRado Kid Super Green Shake or Pops
Serves 1
This is by far our favorite cool green shake. It's a great way to get the concentrated nutrition of green powder and soy sprouts powder, and the added benefits of God's great butter, avocado. The cucumber and lime act as a coolant to the body and the essential fats in the avocado and soy sprouts give the energy elements to make this shake one that you can burn on for many hours. We have enjoyed this shake for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or as a great anytime snack, as well as on the cleanse. This is a fantiastic way to get these nutrients in your kids. In the summer, try the pops for a cool frozen treat.
1 avocado
1/2 English cucumber (organic and usually wrapped in plastic, if possible)
1 tomatillo
1 lime (peeled)
2 cups fresh spinach
2 scoops soy sprouts powder
1 scoop of green powder
1 pkg. stevia [Rusty doesn't usually add this as it's pretty sweet as is]
6-8 ice cubes
Place all ingredients in a blender on high speed and blend to a thick smooth consistency. Serve immediately.
For pops: Pour into ice cube trays, frozen pop trays, or small paper cups and freeze. Thaw the cups a little and remove the frozen shake and chop up and enjoy as a slush, if so desired.
