Delicious Recipes

This recipe was created when I was busily preparing food for one of my recent workshops. My staff were all working so hard preparing the ingredients for the following day that they forgot to eat! So I went into action and whipped up this spinach soup and within 8 minutes we were enjoying it, making this the fastest spinach soup ever!

Ingredients:

8 cups (2 L)	spinach, loosely packed
1/4 cup (60 mL)	lemon juice
1 cups (250 mL)	roasted squash or cooked yam (optional)
1 tbsp (15 mL)	coconut butter (raw is best)
2-3	green onions (use greens)
1	GoBio bouillon cube (or vegetable stock is fine)
2 1/2 cups (750 mL)	boiling water
1/4 cup (60 mL)	hemp hearts (shelled seeds)
to taste	unrefined sea salt (if using low sodium bouillon)

Directions:

1. Put all ingredients (except hemp) in a blender and blend on high till silky smooth.

2. Top with hemp seeds and enjoy.

Makes 3 cups (750 mL).

Food Tip: Hemp Hearts are the shelled hemp seeds. I prefer using Manitoba Harvest because their quality is amazing! For more information, visit their website at www.manitobaharvest.com.

Julie, have already added this to my 101 ways to Hemp:) Have your book and LOVE it! Congrats on it making the best seller list too.
I throw hemp hearts and ground flax into most everything, especially my spinach smoothy. I picked up a hemp brand called "Hemp Hearts" last week, only because of the most interesting reading material on the outside of the container. It starts off with, "Ancient Tribal Foods For Health Accuses the Canadian Government of Nutritional Genocide"...and it went on, just HAD to bring it home and read the rest:)
I'll next look for Manitoba Harvest.

Thanks Christine!

The politics of hemp is quite crazy. There are so many wonderful things that can be done with hemp yet the so called "War on Drugs", is hampering the progress that could be made on products such as food, clothing, paper, etc.

Here is a great new video by Manitoba Harvest on their harvesting process. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT7nNKDjpWs&feature=related

Cheers, Julie

Julie, terrific link to MH on youtube! From there, there was a link to a Martha Stewart youtube episode from her, I believe now old, show. She spoke about seeds, hemp in particular and mentioned "Chia" seeds. I'm thinking now we could all put our old "Chia Pet" pottery to use again:) Would there be nutritional value to eating these sprouted Chia seeds, as there is to so many other veg and plant sprouts?
If so, a trip to Walmart is in order:)

Julie, I just found "Manitoba Harvest" hemp hearts, 675g bags, at "Costco", at an astoundingly affordable price. Thanks for mentioning this brand name, because I then recognized it immediately on the shelf. (less then half the price I paid, for half the amount, at my local Health Food Store) Not knocking HFS's, just saying:) Nutritional AND economical, what could be better!

Hi Julie...
Can you let me know how much tamarind goes in to the goat curry..and when does the rum get added???

and then there is the PGx and the Dasheen. I'm not sure what they are?

Thanks
Judy

Hi Judy,

Here are the answers to your questions:
2 tbs of Tamarind, add the rum at the last moment and PGX and Dasheen can be found in a health food store.

Cheers! Julie
