Video: The Tastebud Threshold

The “Beat Hump Day Slump and Get Pumped” video series is unofficially back! I’m still settling into my condo so I’m not up to speed yet, but I will try to post videos on Wednesdays whenever possible.

Today’s video features another one of hobbies – preparing recipes! Most of my original recipes are either raw, vegan or vegetarian. I received my Living Foods Certification in 2005 from Ann Wigmore Natural Health Institute in Puerto Rico, and in 2006 I worked for the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Arizona where I took extensive food prep classes.

The video featured today is extreme by most people’s standards, but I credit it for being one of the reasons I haven’t had a cold or flu in over 5 years! Some of the key ingredients include:

Ginger root: An anti-inflammatory food with active phytochemicals called gingerols.
Garlic: Contains the antibacterial sulphur-bearing compound called allicin.
Udo’s Oil: Healthy balance of omega-6 fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acids.
Spinach: Excellent source of beta carotene, vitamin C and the phytochemical lutein and lipoic acid.
Egg whites: High source of protein and complete amino acid profile.

Hope you enjoy it and the special secret guest appearance!

Haha – the “drama king” is going to mess up my chances at recipe book publishing deal! No wonder Random House hasn’t called me yet.
Suzette

lol on the comments. that was a great video!
Lilla

Thanks Suzette! If you try it, go easy on the garlic & ginger and add a little extra grapefruit on the first go.
The one Adam is drinking is MY “strong” version that I gave to him to taste but he ended up drinking it! I was planning on making him a milder version first. His vid was so funny though, I just had to post it.

Great video Lilla! Recipe looks good and the best bit was Adam’s reaction!
Lilla

Yeah, he is a hambone for sure!

“Drive through the pain barrier” – sounds like my smoothie was more intense than the quad blaster!
Adam Waters

Haha, it got better as I continued! Awesome brekkie food Lilla!

I just tried your recipe tonight. I’ve been on a big grapefruit kick so I couldn’t wait to try. I had to substitute ground flax seeds for the Udos and add some vanilla protein powder, but I liked it. It was really filling. I especially liked the grapefruit, ginger and garlic combination (along with everything else). I think I’ll try roasting the garlic first next time to sweeten it up a bit. But this was a fun adventure. Thank you!
Lilla

YAY – VINDICATED! Thank you Dede for your review!!

Iargh!
I just made this.
I even went to buy a blender so I could mix it all together.
I don’t have any sweeteners so it’s really strong stuff

I feel it’s already kicking the fly out of my body :p
Thanks for the recipe

You’re welcome! A little extra grapefruit helps take out the “sting” if you don’t have a sweetener.
