I've gotten such an incredible response from my appearance on Windy City Live which shows during Oprah's spot on ABC-7.  Had such fun with hosts Ryan Chiaverini and Val Warner on the set it made me miss the days of my appearances on the Bill Campbell show.

I keep getting asked for the recipe for my famous Karyn's Green Meal Smoothie so I wanted to write a blog where I could post the ingredients, recipe, and benefits of each ingredient all in one place.  What's so great about Karyn's Green Meal Smoothie is that it is so satisfying and delicious and let's admit that's what keeps us going back to foods.  A smoothie with Karyn's Green Meal Powder is a great way to start your day with a nutritious and delicious raw meal that will keep you full for hours.  Our favorite green meal recipe is a popular choice among adult and kids in our juice bar that is easy to make at home.  Feel free to substitute the liquid base, fruit and oils for variety.


Karyn's Kare Green Meal Powder is a customized blend of algae, cereal grasses, friendly bacteria and whole foods to provide your body with a full spectrum on vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.  This unique formula was specifically designed by Karyn so that regular consumption could help to alkalize the body, reduce food cravings, and improve digestion.  Ingredients in The Green Meal are naturally designed to block, suppress and repair the damage done by nearly every type of mutagen- including ultraviolet, radiation, chemicals, carcinogens, and bacteria.  For those with little or no time to prepare and eat fresh salads, Karyn's Kare Green Meal helps get many essential enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and chlorophyll into the diet.

Rejuvelac is a fermented liquid used to improve digestion of food.  It is prepared using whole wheat, rye, quinoa, oats, barley, millet, buckwheat, rice, and/or other types of grain.  We use sprouted wheatberries at Karyn's.  Rejuvelac can be consumed as a digested aid and used as a 'starter' for other fermented foods such as raw nut and seed sauces, and cheeses.  Rejuvelac contains eight of the B vitamins, vitamin E and K, and a variety of proteins, dextrines, carbohydrates, phosphates, saccharides and maylases.  It is rich in enzymes that assist both digestion and the growth of friendly bacteria such as loactobacillus bifidus.  Lactobacillus produces a lactic acid that helps your colon maintain its natural vitamin-producing facility. Benefits of Rejuvelac include: helps cleanse the intestinal track, contains many enzymes, it contains predigested proteins and starches, instant energy, stress reducer, and helps provide valuable liquid to the body for flushing out toxins.  Unfortunately we cannot ship Rejuvelac but you can purchase them at Karyn's Fresh Corner at 1901 N. Halsted in Chicago or order the sprouted wheatberries so you can make your own!  You can do so by calling 312-255-1590.

Flax Seed Oil is an incredible source of Omega 3 fatty acids.  Flax Seed Oil is an essential fatty acid that contributes to weight loss, increased metabolic rate, improved hair and skin conditions, and lowered cholesterol. 

    

Soy Lecithin Granules gives the creamy consistency to Karyn's Green Meal Smoothie.  Soy lecithin breaks down cholesterol and can also prevent gallstone production.
 
Frozen Banana has five times as much Vitamin A and Iron as an apple and about three times as much phosphorus.  Bananas have a lot of potassium and give the body energy.  Freezing your banana gives your smoothie the thick cold texture and sweetness that makes Karyn's Green Meal Smoothie a treat for kids and adults alike.  


Green Meal Smoothie Recipe:

 - 14 oz. liquid (we use a combination of apple juice and Rejuvelac.  The more apple juice used, the sweeter the smoothie will be.)
- 1 frozen banana (peel the banana before you freeze it!)
- 2 tablespoons Karyn's Green Meal Powder
-2 tablespoons Soy Lecithin Granules

Add all ingredients to a blender on medium speed and blend to a liquid consistency. 
Other uses: Sprinkle green meal powder on a salad, oatmeal, cereal or even your dog's food to add a nutritional boost to a meal.

If you do not wish to purchase the products to make your Karyn's Green Meal Smoothie at home, you can always come in to Karyn's Fresh Corner and order one fresh at our juice bar!

Take Care.

Love,

Karyn

Love your Green Meal, but need to keep better stock in your store. I've been trying to buy some of the lager bottles and you been out of it for two weeks. Very frustrated. Not good for business.
