Enjoying Geco Juice

I've been experimenting with different breakfast drinks, and came up with Geco Juice. I have found that getting my children (ages 4 and 6) to join me in these experiments is a lot easier if I give these creative and healthy concoctions a funny name.

Servings: 6 cups
Preparation Time: 5 minutes


INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups - organic apple juice
  • 1/2 - organic large cucumber
  • 1 - organic carrot
  • 1 - medium banana

  • 2 tbs - soy Lecithin Granules (Sprouts)
  • 3 tbs - sunflower seeds
  • 2 cups - ice
DIRECTIONS

  • Pour juice in blender;
  • Add each ingredient one at a time, and blend until smooth;
  • Add Agave Sweetener and ice to taste and consistency desired.

Snack Attack

New recipe for evening snack a hit for daughters:

1/4 cup each of Greek non-fat yogurt from Sprouts;
1/2 an apricot divided and diced (?) for two;
3 gorgeous, large, purple grapes (seeds removed) and diced for each;
Apply a nice sprinkling of Mad Hava Agave Nectar (a friend told me about to replace sugar and artificial sweetener);
Top with ground cinnamon.

It was such a hit, the girls asked for seconds!! Enjoy!
