My oldest daughter had 4 impacted wisdom teeth extracted under anesthesia yesterday. Praise God she did not have and reaction and is recovering quite nicely right now. She can’t have any solid foods and needs a lot of care but I am so grateful that she is not in extreme pain like we anticipated. I attribute that to the prayers of grandparents and friends and God’s grace. My hubby sprained his back last week so I have been helping to take care of him as well. I am also trying to alter our diets to help with his metabolic disorder, all my kids allergies and general health concerns. I have been reading the Maker’s Diet again and trying to make small changes one at a time.
Below is a smoothie I have been making for my daughter that is adapted from some of what I learned in the Maker’s Diet. (FYI -Peanut Butter is not in phase one of the Maker’s Diet I’m still making baby steps)
Peanut Butter Smoothie
1 1/2 cup Organic Whole Milk Yogurt
1 tsp raw honey
2 tsp ground flaxseed
1 tsp ground raw sunflower seeds
1 banana
3/4 cup peanut butter
Blend until smooth
They loved in and my youngest even begged for seconds? She is my sugar hound so that really surprised me. I don’t really measure most of this I just eyeball but I put apx.measurements as a guide. Also I used my coffee grinder to grind the flax-seed and sunflower seeds into powder.
Hope everyone has a blessed day.
