Green Kombucha Smoothie

Dear Friends,

I love to experiment and during the last couple of weeks I have been using kombucha as a base for my smoothies. Actually, "kombucha" is not a proper name for this drink since it is the name of a company that sells the drink. The word "Kombucha" comes from Japanese "kombu" – seaweed and "cha"- tea, and means seaweed tea, which does not apply to what people call "kombucha." A more appropriate name for this drink is "mushroom tea." But similar to "Xerox" or "Crayola" the name of the brand took off in the place of the product. Depicted in the photo is my own kombucha mushroom that I grow in a gallon glass jar. Making my own costs me next to nothing, where store-bought kombucha can be quite expensive.

Kombucha is very high in glucaric acid, and recent studies have shown that glucaric acid helps prevent cancer. It also contains glucosamines that help prevent all forms of arthritis. Kombucha is said to improve digestion, fight candida, and boost your immunity system through its high levels of antioxidants. You may read more about this mushroom tea here: http://www.kombu.de/val-gwf.htm Below is one of my favorite recipes with Kombucha.

Green Kombucha Smoothie
1 bunch of kale
2 peeled kiwis
1 apple
1 ripe banana
2 cups kombucha (mushroom tea)

Yields 2 quarts

Oops!
I was going to make a smoothie from this kale and provide a photo for you, but Valya visited me along with her puppy, and the puppy stole the kale.

So, instead, enjoy the photo of a happy and healthy puppy.

Sale This Week

We have been receiving more comments from our customers about the Jawcercisers™. We even received letters from two dentists. They both confirmed that jawcercisers improve the bone density in teeth and jaws but said they were not interested in carrying them. I think I know why.

From the feedback we receive it appears that jawcercisers work best for children, young adults, and people with their own teeth as a perfect prevention against tooth decay. For those who have crowns, dentures, and other dental devices, the Jawcercisers seem to be less effective.

The Jawcerciser enables its user to compensate for missing adequate chewing. This simple device is a resistance exerciser for your jaw. Regular use of the Jawcerciser naturally increases the saliva flow and provides proper resistance for your teeth. Use of Jawcerciser for 1–3 minutes (or more) once or twice a day can greatly improve your oral health. We chew on them ourselves!

We now carry only one kind of Jawcercisers, made from resin. This week we offer Jawcerciser at $10 off. The sale will end next Wednesday, January 22, 2014

Happy chewing!



Sincerely, Raw Family
