Rip's Big Bowl

Start your day off right!  This is one powerful breakfast.  You can vary the ingredients based on the fruit in season, and use fresh or frozen fruit.  It only serves one.

1/4 cup of old-fashioned oats

1/4 cup grape-nuts or ezekial brand equavalent

1/4 cup bite-size shredded wheat

1/4 cup Uncle Sam Cereal

1 T flaxseed meal

2 T raisins

1/2 handful of walnuts

1 banana, sliced

1 kiwi, sliced

1 grapefruit

3/4 cup plant-based milk such as coconut or almond milk

Directions:

Toss all of the ingredients except the grapefruit and plant-based milk in a bowl.  After cutting the grapefruit in half, use a small, sharp knife to remove the segments.  Add the segments to the top of the bowl and squeeze in the juice.  Top the bowl with plant-based milk.

Variation:  Add peaches, cherries, mangoes, blueberries, or red grapes.

Green Smoothie Recipe - Gorilla Juice

Gorilla Juice

3-4 cups of filtered water
1-2 drops of lemon oil

2 bananas

2-3 cups of mixed greens - kale, spinach, beet greens, swiss chard in this case

3/4 cup frozen blueberries

Either liquid stevia or stevia packets to sweeten (do not use sugar or other artificial sweeteners)

Blend away!  If you want to add ice, feel free.  I tend to like mine a juice-like consistency and my kids seem to drink it better if it is that way as well.
