Notes
Easy Rejuvelac - Add about 1/4 cup rinsed quinoa or wheat berries to a clean jar. Fill the jar with filtered water and cover with plastic wrap and a rubber band. Leave overnight or up to 2 days at room temperature. Strain the sprouted grains and reserve the liquid (rejuvelac).The rejuvelac will have a slightly sour, mostly pleasant taste and smell. If it has a foul odor, toss it out.Young Coconut - This recipe uses 1 white, Thai or young coconut (meat and water). Part of the meat is used in the smoothie to lend creaminess, and part is used to create a coconut cream garnish. The coconut water is used in the smoothie and for the garnish.To open, shave the top with a sharp knife. Hold the coconut steady and hit with the bottom corner of your knife or cleaver. Make cuts in a circle to pop open the top. Pour out the water and scrape out the flesh with a spoon.
