Getting your day started with some greens, or a smoothie and not sure what to do next?
I have been enjoying some simple solutions, like a banana or apple cut up with a few tablespoons of Almond butter and a generous sprinkle of hemp seeds. Not only super filling, but really enjoyable, and highly nutritious..give it a try!

Also, trying to get a young one to consume greens can sometimes be a challenge.. I don't give up though! Today, I put some in Organic Apple juice diluted w/water, and tried an opaque glass, and a straw, and success! I also experiment by adding greens to almond butter, with some dates and some raw walntus processed in a food processor and mixed until it resembles coarse crumbs and press into a pan...let it sit for a bit in the fridge, and cut up like a bar. If it doesn't go over well, I make a small batch of raw chocolate sauce (agave nectar, coconut butter, and cocoa powder-equal parts, like 2-3 tbs each, make sure coconut butter is soft-you can achieve this by placing container in a bowl of warm water for 15 minutes) and drizzle on top. It will harden like a chocolate coating in the fridge. This usually does the trick (for me too!)
