Pomegranates are locally in season in the Santa Barbara area and many of the local Framers Market have Red and White varieties. This is a very healthy fruit and combined with these other ingredients of Concord Grapes and Chia Seeds you have a superfood starter for the day! Chia Seeds is truly a superfood today it can be found at co-ops, health food stores along with Whole Foods. However you will pay perhaps around $14/lb, don't worry a pound goes a long way. Even better you can go to here and get it far cheaper at Raw Food World I am going to order 5 pounds for 32 dollars!!! I like Matt Monarch and Angela Stokes the mail order store remains in Ojai, CA now they are living in Ecuador
One reason I use a high speed blender such as Vitamix and Blendtec is that I can even throw a iphone and grind or masticate whole foods. For Pomagranets I use both the little fleshy seed arils, and the white pulp around the seed groupings. With the seeded Concorfd Grapes I make use of the seeds, and the Chia Seeds (presoaked in filtered or pure water) just becomes liquified.
It is shocking how much whole food goodness is discarded in the compost bin (or worse) whereas the First Peoples and other aboriginal cultures often made extensive use of the whole food. Don't be fearful of a watermelon or grape seed or some fruit pith!
This blended drink makes great use of all sorts of micronutrients that you could not find packaged in a store. Please start integrating whole foods into your diet. Your mind will recognize your body is loving you!
Just look at this purple goodness! I would wear it, but I will drink it instead!
