The real McCoy as in the real thing na

For your meal, try grilled sea bass with roasted sweet potatoes/parsnips. Wash down with a juice of one apple, 2 sticks of celery, one carrot and thumb of ginger

EfemenaXY:


But Sea bass and sweet potatoes aren't green na.

What I want is a meal that's absolutely green in colour. No whites, yellows, oranges, red, etc. Just pure green. I'm thinking, green beans / lentils for protein, green apples, grapes, avocado for vitamins. But carbs?

naijababe:


Yes it does look diluted, the real McCoy is almost forest green in colour

Damiso, na you be the real fitness winch, chai!!! You went for a run today

I am not worried about December, I started my healthy eating last October and rode out the festive period! If I can do it then, I can do it now. I drank wine like crazy on Xmas day though

naijababe:


I missed the green part ni! It will have to be vegetarian though.

Ok, try Edamame in garlic with the juice from my previous post (feel free to remove the ginger and carrot) and you are done

EfemenaXY:


Edamame? What's that abeg?

Lemme go check google before I disgrace myself this evening.

EfemenaXY:
Edamame - green beans!

Naijababe I already mentioned green beans / lentils. Besides, that's protein. Green carbs abeg. Damiso, any suggestions?

naijababe:

Anyway ladies - believe it or not, I had a GRASS drink. Proper grass and I kid you not!

I missed brekkie and doing my normal morning exercises at home, so this was the alternative - opted for a plain wheat porridge (no cream, no sugar) as usual - and a green crush (apples, cucumber, kiwi, lettuce, grapes, etc). Then decided to try out the grass thingy.

You know how it's done like when you go to the pub and order a shot of whisky or something similar? So I asked for one shot of grass drink. Omo you need to see the amount of grass that girl cut into the "grasser" juicer. Had to ask her if it was washed oh!

Anyway, even to drink the thing, see as my heart dey beat...kpom, kpom, kpom, as per "who send me?" And the smell? Gosh! It smelt very grassy! :DI eventually summoned up some dutch courage to drink it, but had to hold my nose in the process. Men see as dem dey laugh your sister. They even gave me a slice of apple to make it more bearable.

So, that's the long and short of my Thursday's experiment. It wasn't too bad sha. Afterall, they say grass is detoxifying.

Anyway, the very very dark green drink is the concentrated grass solution I had. Now it doesn't get much healthier than that, does it?

Was continue to say green lentils cos contrary to what our teachers told us lentils do have carbs

ifyalways:

No be me and you Efe.

The only thing close to your " grass drink" that will be going down my throat is my green smoothies (avocado and water melon", nothing else. Grass kwa?
Welldone but I no drink.

cococandy:
How did it taste efemenaxy?

EfemenaXY:


Thick and chalky.

And it smelt like freshly mowed grass too.

cococandy:
arghhhh

EfemenaXY:

EfemenaXY:


I was hoping for the equivalent of eba / yam. Something heavy and green.

I suppose green isn't meant to be heavy and unhealthy, otherwise that would beat the purpose of it being a light, albeit "healthy green" in the first place.

cococandy:
efe don't try this again

naijababe:


You ara-okoness don pass iragbiji own. I don give up for your matter Waiting for my ride

damiso:


I think we can just pour green smoothie in the eba or what do you think it becomes green straight? Or ebbage the 'healthy' eba made with greens?

I plan to. At least once or twice a week in the mornings. I know it smells and tastes horrible but it think it could quickly become an acquired taste.

cococandy:

Phew. I must commend your discipline.

Burntpalace:

Eww! Can just imagine the grassy smell.

EfemenaXY:




Ladies, watch this o!

Helps increase your red blood cells, helps with digestion, detoxes the body, helps prevent cancer, helps reduce monthly period cramps, improves your skin...gosh check out her skin!

cococandy:
Okay the cancer bit may make me consider it.
Can't one tweak the taste at least?
Add something to reduce the chalky taste and the grassy smell.
Maybe lemons or honey. I don't know

EfemenaXY:


I think so.

Her friends tried it with a bit of ginger (yuk) and some sort of pepper.

When I tried mine at work, I was given a slice of apple to go with it. I just gulped the drink in one go, then had the apple later. But now, watching the YouTube videos on it, it seems one is meant to savour the taste for at least a minute or so in the mouth, so that it really "seeps in" to the blood stream before reaching the digestive juices within the stomach (or something to that effect).

cococandy:
Savour the taste ?

I'll pass. Jisike.

EfemenaXY:


For now.

But somehow, methinks you might pick up on it after Junior's made an appearance. D'you know that amongst other things, it helps with anemia? I guess I'm sold on it. But I think £1.80 (single shot) or £3.50 (double shot) is a rip-off.
