Green Drink and Other Stuff

october2007109.jpg image by quietcajun 

Hannah needed a little extra nourishment this morning!  So with her breakfast she had a green drink smoothie!

This one had:

1/2 c. rice milk

1/2 scoop of Designer Whey protein powder (vanilla)

1 scoop of Better Than Greens

1/4 c. yogurt (with live cultures)

1 scant tsp. of flaxseed ( I DON'T recomend this much for a small child usually, but she really needed it!)

2 or 3 Tbs. of crushed pineapple (any fruit will do, but this was readily available from an earlier recipe that I made for the children's lunch boxes!)

3 Tbs. Shaklee Performance (similar to Gatorade, but healthier... this one was orange flavor)

1 scant tsp. of Shaklee Optiflora Powder (and she took one Shaklee Optiflora pearl...  these are prebiotic and probiotic)

I whizzed it all up in our blender and She drank it all up!

In the meantime, I crushed herbs for Noah (who has an allergy-related cough right now...  he got 10 Shaklee Alfalfa Complex, 3 Tbs. of Performance and 2 or 3 Tbs. of live-culture yogurt...  I crushed the alfalfa in a coffee grinder that has never been used for coffee and mixed the powder with the other stuff!  He ate it with no problem at all.)

Here is Hannah's half finished green drink next to one of her leaves!  She LOVES autumn leaves.  I should take a photo of our front steps!  She has decorated EVERY step with leaves!

Kaitlyn took this photo.  That's Hannah and me on the left and NOah and JOrdan on the right!

Here we are again as seen through the bottom of an empty glass!  That girl is just too creative for her own good!!!  LOL!  I didn't even know she had taken any photos of me until I uploaded the photos!

I hope to find more time to blog later, but it is time to get groceries!  We are running low around here! 

Have a great day and check my other two blogs:

My name is Christina. I am 40 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 19 years! (It will be 20 in March 2010!) My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (17), Jordan (15 ), Ian (13.5), and Noah (11)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (9) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 13th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
