What's In My Lunchbox Today? Spirulina Milk!

It's always not enough to attend workshops like this. Awareness is great; but the real self-gift is action. And that's what I did even if my growing space in my parents' kitchen do not boast of the ingredients for my next mission: spirulina hemp milk. Based on the how-to in Chef Asha Peri's hand-out, this smoothie is comprised of all the superfoods that you can think of. I remember my best friend Fristine's testimonial stating one glass of this drink will keep you hyper for 12 hours.

For today's trial, I prepared the following:

Raw almonds, soaked overnight
Spirulina
Coconut meat
Ice
Peppermint oil
Coconut sugar
Boyz II Men's music (to arouse the loving self in me. Chos!)
Lots of luuuuuurve!


Raw almonds from Healthy Options


The star of the night! I bought this half-kilo stash of spirulina from Dahon Kusina


Coconut meat


Available in your suking tindahan!


Peppermint oil, P105 in Cooks Exchange


Coconut sugar


Using almond milk as base


Green as it should! Yay!


One blender-ful of this concoction should be good for the next 3 days! The larger pitcher at the back will be for future use.

NOTE: I don't really place my lunchbox in the fridge. Just for posterity purposes! =P

And so I asked my Hell's Kitchen-obsessed brother how he finds my creation. He found it bland, save for the mint! Then he took another sip and, in attempt to reverse my sad face, possibly quoted someone from the mentioned show and said "It's like orgasm in my mouth!". Yeah, right!

Lunch break! That's past midnight for you.

When it was turn to experience my spirulina milk, I automatically disagree with my brother's comments. My taste buds recognized the almonds, coconut and everything else! At the same time, it's far from being considered orgasmic either. [EDIT: I asked Fristine, Ingrid and Andrea to try my concoction during the raw food potluck the following day and they said it's actually good. Fristine thinks cacao nibs would make it more flavorful, though. Must complete the ingredients!] I therefore conclude that it all depends on people's taste buds. My brother could use more superfood in his diet, that's all.

Cheers!
