Broccoli smoothie

@dpayton I did investigate the sulforaphane tablet situation when I started the kitchen broccoli sprouting. I think it's a helpful - perhaps even preferred - option if a person doesn't have time to grow sprouts and prepare the daily smoothies.

From what I read, however, going through the many tedious broccoli sprout custom smoothie preparation steps produces the best, optimized result.

Some evenings in Germany, after working a long day, we would go to the pub and have a draft Pilsner with a thick layer of schmaltz (Griebenschmalz)...essentially congealed bacon grease with spices....spread over a piece of deliciously dense German bread...the taste was absolutely amazingly delicious...so what's your point about something tasting good????

BTW, there's no "ground up cruciferous vegetables" in my chili recipe!

In any case, as I've always said (and seen in my own case) the science behind running is more solid than relying on any particular diet, if slowing progression is of any concern and a goal for someone diagnosed with PCa.

In my book, the most important thing about diet is that it needs to consist of foods that sustainably allow a man to maintain his BMI between 22-23 AND which he enjoys to eat. If a man is heavier than that....the most important thing, regarding his diet, is to lose all that extra weight....assuming he cares.

If there's indirect "in vitro" evidence that certain vegetables have a beneficial impact on the slowing of PCa (which I have shown); then the next step would to implement the tastiest recipes, that include those items, even it only moves the needle marginally.

If a man decides he'd rather have bacon and eggs for breakfast, hot dogs covered with mayo and sweet relish for lunch, a McDonald's triple quarter pounder with supersized fries for dinner and then ice-cream washed down with a 6 pack before bedtime....more power to ya!

Just don't complain when the doc comes around with the recommendation to slash, burn and chemically castrate, when its time to pay the PCa piper. 🙂

@handera Thank you! I have been feeding my husband broccoli soups and now I am venturing into the world of sprout growing. I love growing plants so I am looking forward to it. Just ordered all the supplies.

...well I make smoothies almost every day for lunch...not sure how much my comment will be constructive though....but here it is.....

My smoothie goal was to come with an antioxidant recipe that my grandchildren would just love to drink....

It took me about a year to perfect my recipe...it worked....my grandchildren love the taste....

....but it's all about fruit....no veggies for lunch....I save those to combine with my red wine, crackers and cheese snack and for things like my "veggie chili" and broccoli sprout dinners. 🙂

Thanks for responding so quickly! Yeah, I definitely have to agree with ya. I’m going to try and figure out the process of it ASAP but until then I just ordered some to get started. Thanks again for posting this!!! It’s always great to hear about things like this. 💪

@ucla2025

Can I place orders from you? 😂😂😂

I found this receipt just now - sounds pretty decent to me. ; ) Of course, as with any smoothie one can add or deduct things accordingly - add more fruits , or add protein powder, or some monk fruit to sweeten it up : )))

½ cup (90 grams) broccoli florets fresh or frozen
1 apple
½ cup (50 grams) blueberries frozen
2 bananas frozen
1 cup (250 ml) almond milk
½ cup (125 ml) water
2 teaspoons chia seeds

Instructions

In a high speed blender, blend all of the ingredients together until smooth. Serve immediately.

Frozen berries have similar nutritional value as fresh berries, if not more. That is because berries are at their prime and retain their nutrients better at the moment of the flash-freezing process. Therefore, for this recipe, you can use pre-packed frozen berries or berries that you have stocked up on fresh and frozen them yourself.
Same goes for broccoli. You can use fresh or frozen broccoli florets.
Broccoli can be substituted by spinach.
Almond milk – naturally adds a hint of sweetness to the smoothie. Alternatively, you can use rice milk, soy milk, cashew milk, or coconut milk.
Remember to always mix chia seeds into another food and avoid intaking it dry, as this might cause swallowing problems (chia seeds can absorb water up to 27 times their weight which could cause a problem swallowing them in their dry form).

Disclosure - did not try it yet, but it sounds very drinkable : ))

@dpayton. HaHaHa that’s funny.

@surftohealth88 I have experimented with adding leftover steamed broccoli to our green smoothies with fruit and they are just as tasty with broccoli. I also use frozen fruits of all kinds, lots of greens, and a non-dairy “milk” or coconut water. And I have been able to lose weight by having the smoothies instead of meals.

@handera I’m so sorry my comments was not intended for you but for meat eating Phil 🙂
