Kim’s Shake
Here’s my daily morning shake recipe. Make it whenever you like!
- 1/2 cup fresh apple, skin on
- 1/2 cup fresh pear skin on
- 1 slice fresh pineapple
- 1 banana
- 1 whole orange
- 2 large romain lettuce leaves You can substitute spinach, 1/2 cup
- 1 stalk celery
- 2 tbsp. ground flax seed organic if you can find it
- 1/2- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 2-3 tbsp. almond milk or dairy milk if you use it
- 2-3 tbsp. water
- 1 tbsp. nut butter of your choice optional
- Wash all fruit and cut into large chunks. Add to blender with romaine leaves, celery and the the ground flax seed, cinnamon, nut butter if using, water, almond or dairy milk and ice cubes. Blend well and enjoy! Makes approximately 24 ounces of shake!
Hearty veggie broth
This is my go-to broth base as I do not eat meat or chicken. I do eat fish but the type of broth is pretty specific to certain dishes. My hearty veggie broth works well with brown rice or any whole wheat grain. It’s a great base for many soups and works well with almond milk to make a white (bechmel) sauce.
Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a large dutch oven. Heat to medium high and add chopped onions, peppers and garlic. Saute for about three minutes until the onion starts to turn clear. Add the water and all other ingredients. Bring to a boil. Taste for salt and pepper adjustment and bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes and adjust for all seasonings. Simmer another 15 minutes and allow broth to cool. Remove all veggies and use or freeze. I freeze this broth in batches of 2 cups in ziplock bags.
Makes approximately six cups. Enjoy!

Fresh start shake
You can enjoy a delicious, nutrient dense breakfast or lunch shake filled with healthy ingredients of your choice. The following recipe includes what I put in my shake.
