Omaca-3 Pear, Spinach, Maca Smoothie Recipe

I really have been enjoying my NutriBullet Pro and Virginia has been too. If you’re following you know I picked one up before Christmas in a department store. A passerby said it was great and she also said she used it every day and loves it. So we bought one.

Virginia and I have been using the NutriBullet Pro in place of juicing. This adds a fresh new dimension to our juicing/blending lifestyle and I have to say I am impressed. It’s easy to do, there are a lot of delicious simple recipes and cleanup is a breeze.

The Omaca-3 gets it’s name from maca root powder. High in energy! Maca is rich in vitamin B vitamins, C, and E. It provides plenty of calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium, phosphorous and amino acids. Maca is widely used to promote sexual function of both men and women. It serves as a boost to your libido and increases endurance. At the same time it balances your hormones and increases fertility. So enjoy, I mean really enjoy, the Omaca-3!

The Omaca-3 recipe comes from the NutriBullet Pro  booklet. The booklet is found inside the box with the NutriBullet Pro. It claims to have “Life Changing Recipes”, like the Omaca-3, so we shall see.

So here’s a great recipe for you to try !

Spinach Carrot Apple Juice | Simple Recipes

As I’m writing this, I’m headed to the kitchen to make this recipe, spinach carrot apple juice. Spinach is becoming my favorite green vegetable. Great to juice and great to eat in salads or cooked.

I have some spinach leftover that I’m afraid is going to go bad, some carrots that are in the same condition and a big red delicious apple. So I’m juicing what’s available and later today I’m going shopping for some more fresh produce.

Spinach is a pretty good source of vitamin C and in a study I read about, spinach showed evidence of significant protection against the occurrence of aggressive prostate cancer. Good stuff, eh?

Carrots have some good benefits too. Carrots are good for your vision and skin. Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A. More good stuff for the body!

As far as apples go, did you ever hear the old saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”? Apples are one of my favorite fruits and go well into just about any juicing recipe to add a little sweetness.

This is off the topic of juicing a little. Have you ever tried stewed apples? Occasionally I have a stewed apple in the morning, because in studying Ayurvedic medicine a while back I learned stewed apples stimulate regular bowel movements. There are other benefits too. What a way to start the day! Believe me stewed apples really work. Try it three days in a row and see how you like it.  Here’s a link to a simple recipe and directions.

Spinach Carrot Apple Juice

Makes 20 ounces – Best served over ice or chilled.

• 2 lbs of carrots


• 10 ounces of spinach


• 1 large red delicious apple

Zen Dragonfly | Spinach, Lettuce, Pear, Apple, Strawberry Juice

The Zen Dragonfly comes from the book The Healthy Juicer’s Bible written by Farnoosh Brock. I highly recommend this wonderful juicing book. It has many delicious recipes.

Do you like strawberries in your juices? If so, that’s great, because The Zen Dragonfly consists of 8-10 strawberries. I was a little hesitant to add strawberries to this green juice, but it turned out very well.

I’m always a little cautious to put anything other than apple and/or pear into my green juices, but Farnoosh knows what she’s making here.

You can just taste the strawberries and it gives it a very good flavor. I also detected the delicious taste of the Granny Smith apple.

This drink also has a beautiful green color. You can’t go wrong here. Gorgeous, Tasty and Nutritious!

 Zen Dragonfly

Makes approximately 20 ounces

• 2-3 cups baby or regular spinach


• A small head of Romaine lettuce ( I used 5 or 6 big leaves)


• 1 medium pear


• 1 medium Granny Smith apple


• 8-10 strawberries (sometimes mine aren’t the sweetest, but I got lucky this time)

Update: Buy organic strawberries or grow them yourself. Strawberries are known to be one of the most highly pesticide sprayed fruits. One report found 36 types of pesticides on strawberries. Out-of-season, imported strawberries are the most risky. But organic or homegrown strawberries are healthy. They are among the fruits and vegetables ranked highest in health-promoting antioxidants.

Eye Opener | Kale, Spinach, Carrot and Grapefruit

Yeeesss! I struck gold. The Eye Opener is the best kale and grapefruit recipe I’ve run across. The grapefruit makes a wonderful early morning green juice. It truly is an eye opener, but not too tangy.

I don’t know if it’s the kale that cuts the tangy flavor of the grapefruit or if it’s the grapefruit that smooths out the strong flavor of the kale, but whatever it is, it’s fantastic! Served best over ice.

Maybe it’s just the right combination and amount of ingredients that makes this juice so good.

It’s a simple recipe too. Just kale, spinach, carrot and a grapefruit. The grapefruit needs peeling, but that’s pretty easy. I’m used to peeling citrus fruit when juicing. Speaking of peelers, here’s a good one: OXO Good Grips Swivel Peeler.

This is a serious hit of carotene, essential for eye health and immunity.- The Big Book of Juices

Eye Opener – The Big Book of Juices

The Eye Opener comes from  The Big Book of Juices: More Than 400 Natural Blends for Health and Vitality Every Day.  According to the Juice Recipe Builder, this recipe has 78 calories and it’s packed full of vitamins A, C, and K. What a wonderful vegetable based juice recipe.

Makes 10 ounces

• 1 handful kale


• 1 large handful spinach


• 1 carrot


• 1 grapefruit

NUTRIENTS

Beta-carotene, folic acid, vitamins B3, A, C and K. Calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and sulphur.

This is an excellent immunity juice recipe. Try it over ice.

Limber Joint Libation - Cherry, Pineapple Smoothie

Here’s one I’ve been working with trying to get it acceptable to me. Don’t know if I’ve got there yet. It’s the Limber Joint Libation smoothie recipe.

I’ve made this a couple of times. Virginia says it’s okay, but I’m going to try and improve it. It doesn’t taste sweet enough, but maybe it’s not supposed to. I’m going to try just a little more pineapple next time.

This is an excellent recipe for inflammation though. Turmeric works on my joints, no doubt! I take turmeric daily in capsule form and it has reduced my inflammation considerably. I can’t say enough good things about turmeric.

Cherries reduce inflammation: Cherries and cherry juice have been used since the 1950s by sufferers of gout and arthritis to ease their symptoms. Gout results from an overload of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia), which accumulates and forms crystals in the joints, causing painful arthritis; cherry consumption has been shown to reduce circulating levels of uric acid, which may be one pathway by which cherries improve gout symptoms. – Dr. Fuhrman

This comes from the booklet I received with my NutriBullet, it’s on page 83.

Arthritis pain is often caused by inflammation in joints, which may be soothed by natural healing foods. Cherries, parsley and turmeric are widely celebrated for their inflammation fighting powers, so try this recipe if you suffer from the pains of arthritis and get your joints jumping once more! – NutriBullet

Limber Joint Libation

• 1/2 tall cup spinach


• 1/2 cup cherries (pits removed)


• 1/2 cup pineapple


• 1/4 cup parsley


• 1 Tbsp raw cacao (powder, nibs, beans)


• 1 tsp turmeric


• water to max line

Add all ingrediants to the Tall Cup and extract until smooth.

Inflammation Tamer - Blueberry, Pineapple Smoothie

I made the Inflammation Tamer smoothie recipe last night for Virginia and I. We probably didn’t need the maca so late in the evening, but we decided to give it a try anyway.

Inflammation Tamer is a delicious recipe made with two of my favorite fruit, pineapple and blueberries. They go together so well and are so good for the body.

This recipe comes from the booklet “NutriBullet Life Changing Recipes” which is included with the Nutribullet Pro.

One of the roughest symptoms of fibromyalgia is chronic inflammation in the body, a condition that can lead to a host of other health problems. This blast contains a wide variety of anti-inflammatory compounds to soothe your system.

Inflammation Tamer

• 2 big handfuls of spinach (fill the Talll Cup halfway)


• 1/2 cup blueberries


• 1/2 cup pineapple chunks


• 1 tsp maca root powder


• water to the max line

Add all ingredients to the Tall Cup and extract until smooth, about 40 seconds.

My review: The Inflammation Tamer is a delicious smoothie however it is a little too diluted for my taste. I will try just a little less water next time and maybe some more pineapple. However, Virginia liked it just the way it was. She also likes her juices a little diluted too. So you be the judge.

How do you like this recipe? Too diluted? Please comment below.

• a small piece of ginger (careful, very strong stuff)

Vitamin A is also necessary for the growth of all bodily tissues, including skin and hair. Spinach and other leafy greens high in vitamin C are imperative for the building and maintenance of collagen, which provides structure to skin and hair.

This is another recipe I made before going on vacation, hoping to get the post done before taking off, but to no avail. It has a wonderful, deep, green (emerald) color. I love  dark, emerald-green juices.When I drink them I can just feel the good, powerful nutrients entering my blood stream. Sounds crazy huh? Just try this recipe and use your imagination.

A full flavored drink: The Emerald Deluxe

I can just taste the ginger and cucumber. Absolutely a beautiful color and you can certainly tell how it got its name.

I use my Omega J8004 juicer and get plenty of fantastic, healthy juice from this recipe.

 

Makes 24 ounces

• 2-3 cups of baby or regular spinach


• 3-4 stalks of celery


• 3-4 small Persian cucumbers (I used what was available)


• 1 cup green or red grapes


• 1 large Granny Smith apple


• a small piece of ginger (careful, very strong stuff)

UPDATE: Spinach and other green vegetables contain chlorophyll which has shown to be effective at blocking the carcinogenic effects of heterocyclic amines which are generated when grilling foods at a high temperature. Spinach is high in vitamin A, which is necessary for sebum production to keep hair moisturized. Vitamin A is also necessary for the growth of all bodily tissues, including skin and hair. Spinach and other leafy greens high in vitamin C are imperative for the building and maintenance of collagen, which provides structure to skin and hair.

Zen Dragonfly | Spinach, Lettuce, Pear, Apple, Strawberry Juice

The Zen Dragonfly comes from the book The Healthy Juicer’s Bible written by Farnoosh Brock. I highly recommend this wonderful juicing book. It has many delicious recipes.

Do you like strawberries in your juices? If so, that’s great, because The Zen Dragonfly consists of 8-10 strawberries. I was a little hesitant to add strawberries to this green juice, but it turned out very well.

I’m always a little cautious to put anything other than apple and/or pear into my green juices, but Farnoosh knows what she’s making here.

You can just taste the strawberries and it gives it a very good flavor. I also detected the delicious taste of the Granny Smith apple.

This drink also has a beautiful green color. You can’t go wrong here. Gorgeous, Tasty and Nutritious!

 Zen Dragonfly

Makes approximately 20 ounces

• 2-3 cups baby or regular spinach


• A small head of Romaine lettuce ( I used 5 or 6 big leaves)


• 1 medium pear


• 1 medium Granny Smith apple


• 8-10 strawberries (sometimes mine aren’t the sweetest, but I got lucky this time)

Update: Buy organic strawberries or grow them yourself. Strawberries are known to be one of the most highly pesticide sprayed fruits. One report found 36 types of pesticides on strawberries. Out-of-season, imported strawberries are the most risky. But organic or homegrown strawberries are healthy. They are among the fruits and vegetables ranked highest in health-promoting antioxidants.
