Kymythy’s Kitchen Nutrition: Summer in a Glass
By Kymythy R. Schultze, CN
www.Kymythy.com
Question:
The sky is gray and the air is cold. I can’t afford a cruise to Bahamas;
so how about a recipe to lift my spirits and remind me that summer will
return!
Answer: Okay, but that cruise sounds pretty good
too – can I come? In addition to the following recipe, you might
consider using full-spectrum lighting in your home and workplace. These
bulbs produce light waves that more closely resemble those of the sun.
Without the sun’s light, some people can become unhappy or depressed.
So, screw in some full-spectrum lighting, sip on the following smoothie,
and imagine yourself basking on the cruise ship’s sun deck!
Tropical Treat
1 banana
1 cup pineapple
1 cup peeled papaya
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger
Coconut milk to taste
Cut fruit into chunks (use fruit from the freezer section if fresh isn’t
available). Put the first four ingredients in a blender or food
processor and puree; add coconut milk to desired consistency. Garnish
with a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
Coconut milk is made from the expressed juice of grated coconut and
water. One cup contains more than 5 grams of protein, along with
important minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and
zinc. The medium-chain fatty acids in coconut are easily digested and
absorbed. They provide cells with a direct, efficient source of energy
and may improve the body’s absorption of other nutrients. They also
increase metabolism and may help with weight loss.
Coconut is also rich in lauric acid, a fatty acid that’s antifungal,
antiviral, antibacterial, and good for the immune system. Coconut has
also been used successfully in the treatment of skin and digestive
disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, and hypothyroidism.
