I like to put half a cup of dark greens (say: Kale or Broccoli crowns) in a
blender and toss in a dozen cranberries. Add a cup of water. Blend and drink
this "health shake". Takes GOOD and mainly cause of the cranberries.
All my life, I shunned anything like: good fruits and dark green leafy
vegetables. When I got to be an old man, I noticed all my (other, equally fat)
buddies were dying of strokes and heart attacks. I decided...hmmm...I better
start losing weight and actually eating all those vegetables that I used to
make fun of and to scorn. The first time I stopped at the produce aisle and
bought KALE...I had no idea what the [censored] was...or how to ingest it. I tried
chewing the stuff.....BORING. Then I said, just pulverize this stuff and drink
it with a slug of water. That worked...and quite painless. My weight fell off,
my complexion looked better, my eyesight improved, my hair stopped turning
gray. Odd...I thought. Now, I am tweaking this strategy to try and get
something with an enjoyable taste. Cranberries DO make stuff better...but only
when pulverized and blended in. When I try to eat cranberries directly, they
are tough and tasteless.
