Here’s my lunch.

I grabbed a gigantic handful of delicate organic parsley I picked up recently at the health food store, threw in a bunch of red grapes, a small handful of goji berries, an organic apple (skin, core, & all), a generous sprinkling of gorgeously sparkling blue-green algae, a small toss of cordyceps (a medicinal mushroom in the form of a beige powder)… et voila! A quick, super-filling Live Green Smoothie!

LGSs are not always brilliant hues of spring-like green. Often, because of what happens when you blend up bright greens and reds you get very dark colors that at first might be reminiscent of pea soup or 70s avocado kitchen appliances.

But… soldier on. New color associations will develop! There are many lovely shades of green (and brown…) on the planet. One just needs to get used to enjoy seeing them being poured into a glass.
