6 Second Recipes for Thanksgiving
- Nov 24 '15
GREEN SMOOTHIE
1 cup filtered Water attached
1 handful chopped Romaine
1 handful Watercress
1 handful Baby Spinach
1 handful Flat-leaf Parsley
1 mini Cucumber
1 Green Apple
1 Banana
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
Great additions and substitutes: Mint, agave, lime, ginger, kale, spirulina, ground flax seeds, avocado, jalapeno, pineapple
Use a Vitamix or high-powered blender to blend all ingredients until smooth
BANANA BOAT
1 Banana with peel attached
Chocolate chips (one kind or variety...whatever is on hand works well)
Marshmallows
Anything else that melts that taste good and you love to eat
Tinfoil
Cut 2 slits into the banana peel lengthwise. Pull back a strip of the banana peel to expose the fruit on the inside curve. Cut a slit into the banana. If you want, you can cut a long chunk from the center and then replace it after you fill the banana. Fill the center with your favorite melt-able treats. We used milk chocolate chips ad marshmallows. Replace the banana peel and wrap with tinfoil. Bake in warm coals for 5 minutes.

Flat-leaf parsley is a natural diuretic.
Radishes are an ultimate superfood. They fill you up quickly, freshen your breath and even aid in banishing headaches. Load up your “Skinny” salad with lots of these.
Pine nuts are a great source of protein and these tiny little nuts also banish hunger pangs.
