Green freeze!

Portion and Freeze your greens in snack size freezer bags. Toss In spinach, kale, green boiled lentils, avocado for that green smoothie explosion!

I soaked 2 cups of dry green peas lentils in warm water over night. Boiled them in 4 cups water for 8-10 minutes. Drained excess water out. Eat them as is or Add to smoothies for protein, vitamins and minerals. They taste sweet and add the thickness to any smoothie!

Fresh Citrus Bath!

Fresh citrus bath! 

4 oranges or tangerine or clementine

1 lemon

4 cups of warm or hot water

Blend all 3 ingredients into a fine juice. Using a strainer pour all the juice in to your bathtub. Add few drops of Johnson baby bath or dove liquid body wash. Fill the tub with water as usual and relax as long as your schedule permits. 

orange peels and lemon peel are loaded with essential oils. You can perk it up by adding a cup of Epsom salt. You can even add few drops of coconut oil or just dump a can of coconut milk. 

There are times when we buy oranges and lemons and they are not quiet edible for lack of sweetness or may be they have been abandoned  on that shelf to decay. Just juice it and use it before you loose it!!!!! 

Don't have time for a bath right now then just cut all the citrus into wedges and freeze them until you are ready for juicing, using and rejuvenating!
