"Taste and See Smoothie" - Spinach Banana Cradle

Long time no see. =)

Because I have neglected this blog for so long, I decided I should treat you with something special. Green smoothie, anyone? I would argue that this smoothie is more of an introductory one: -- the flavor is pleasant and sweet, which is perfect for a child being introduced to this for the first time. The baby spinach does not assert its own flavor, so the banana is dominant. Diabetics will probably want to cut back on the amount of fruit that is in here. 


The Verdict: Delightfully mild and gently sweet. Easily assimilated and digested.

(To assimilate is "to take in; to absorb and integrate".)

Spinach Banana Cradle (Makes 5 twelve-ounce glasses)

1 cup of baby spinach
1 large carrot (at least half of a cup when chopped)
1.5 bananas (they were frozen -- they could be fresh or both)
1 small apple (about half of a cup when chopped)
1 six-ounce container of soy yogurt (we used WholeSoy's Mixed Berry Yogurt)
1/4 pumpkin seeds
Water to your liking (about 3-4 cups were used for the consistency above, which resembled a SlimFast smoothie).

Wash the vegetables and cut off the ends. Chop the carrot and apple for easier blending (optional). Blend till smooth (be sure to take the time to blend properly). Pour into glasses. Enjoy! =)

The Great Controversy: Whose Side Are You On?

Note: The following article is appropriate for all ages, and should be read with family and friends. Before our earth was created, a war began and is still going on in our world today. This war is called   the Great Controversy . The word  controversy  (pronounced " khan -tro-verse-ee") is taken from the Latin word  controversus  (pronounced "khan-tro- were -sus")   meaning disputable or, more literally, turned against . Between whom is this controversy? It is between Jesus Christ and His enemy, the Devil. So who is turned against whom? The Devil is turned against Jesus and is opposing Him. And what exactly is being disputed? The Devil thinks that Jesus is not as powerful as He claims to be. "And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God , command this stone that it be made bread" (Luke 4:3 KJV). " And the LORD said unto Satan, 'Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none...

Absorb God's Word

Recently, I read this quote from "Spurgeon: Sermons on Proverbs" by Charles H. Spurgeon - "He has asked the Spirit of God to make him acquainted with divine truth, so that he has not only read of it but he has communed with it, and now he lives upon it, eats it, drinks it, receives it into the inward parts of his soul, and retains it there as a living and incorruptible seed. Now a man who does this year after year is the kind of man who, by God's grace, will take fast-hold of instruction, and will prove a faithful witness for his Lord."
