My son doesn’t like to work with blender, but he enjoys squeezing the juice.
We prefer to use less water in a smoothie and eat this meal in the mornings. We mix different ingredients and get a new taste every day. Instead of avocado and spinach leaves we use fresh or frozen berries. We can add 1-2 tbsp of ground flaxseed with carob and sesame (cover with warm water for 5 minutes) or sprouted buckwheat (handmade). You can also grind flaxseed in a coffee grinder.
A ground flaxseed with mixed berries you can see here.
If you want to make sprouted buckwheat yourself, you need to cover it with cold water for 1-2 hours, then drain the water and put the buckwheat on 2 layers of gauze and cover it with another 2 layers of gauze. Wait for 1-2 days.
You can find organic buckwheat here.
Some sources give us information that green spouted buckwheat is ready in 3-5 days. But I put it under the gauze only for 1-2 days. Then I keep it in the fridge. The reason is, even on the second day the buckwheat is already active and living.
