Deluxe Green Power Smoothie

This is a classic green smoothie souped-up with extra protein, minerals and fat for a more sustaining energy and complete meal. Add any extra greens desired. The sharper flavor of greens like kale will be hidden under the protein powder. Other popular additions include fruit, super foods like maca and lucuma powder, seaweeds, nut milk, flax and chia seeds.

Can't get enough sautéed (caramelized) onions in your life but don't like waiting 30-45 minutes over a hot stove? Make a huge batch in your slow cooker! If you know you're cooking a bunch of dishes, having a bunch of sautéed onions ready to go eliminates one time-consuming step. Freezing the sautéed onions makes it a snap to add to weeknights meals.

Mineralizing Tooth Powder

Tooth powder was popular years ago, before toothpaste came into fashion. I was skeptical, but my mouth and teeth have never felt better. Activated charcoal whitens teeth and can be added to the powder or kept separate. Some rinse with ½ teaspoon of charcoal mixed in water after brushing, holding the mixture in front of their teeth for a few minutes before rinsing.
