A medication I've been taking has wreaked
havoc on my appetite, mostly in the form of nausea. Waking time has been
the hardest for that when it comes to thinking up a breakfast that
doesn't make me want to lose last night's meal.
This is today's non-nausea inducing idea, a recipe I came up with on the fly. If you like fruit/veggie combo smoothies (which I do) it's pretty good. It's close to what you'd get at most smoothie shops, only the turnip greens have a milder taste than the spirulina, wheat grass, and spinach they typically use. I didn't have protein powder, so I substituted something else instead.
If I'd been thinking ahead, I'd have made some of my
ginger tea for the nausea and added that, too. Well, there's always next
time!
Ingredients:
1 Cup orange juice
3/4 Cup frozen papaya, banana & pineapple chunks (I got this mixed bag from the Dollar Tree)
1/4 Cup frozen turnip greens
1/4 Cup garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas) for protein
1/4 Cup ice
Directions:
Place the orange juice, beans and the turnip greens in a blender and liquefy. Add fruit and ice and pulse until all is liquefied. And you're done!
