Immune-Enhancing Smoothie
Immune-Enhancing Smoothie Recipe
by Chef David Wells (‘Grandma Dave’)
From David Wells, in his own words: One morning, I was walking through downtown SF, at six thirty in the morning, on my way to teaching nutrition at California Culinary academy when I saw a man drinking something out of a blender that looked like dirt!. I couldn’t help but stop and ask what he was drinking and why? He was angular and lean, with a clear and sharp snap to his movements, and a twinkle in his eyes. A Mason, who had been doing cement work since he was twenty, extremely fit looking but beaten up as well.
He went on to tell me about the drink that I was scowling at, “Its called Mud, I put sunflower seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, and almonds into the blender with water, and down it goes each and every day.”
“Wow! How long have you been drinking this?” I asked
“Since I was forty “he replied
“With all due respect sir, how old are you now?”
“Eighty two” he said with a calm smile.
I shook his hand, and as I looked into his eyes I could feel his vitality and strength.
I could hardly believe this was true; he looked like he was 50 at the most!
So I went and formulated this smoothie recipe and have been enjoying it ever since!
It may seem like a bit much, but a blender of this will keep you going for quite a while!
Yours in good health,
Cheers!
David
