Points of Interest:

• Blend up your ingredients (separately) and use traditional ice-cube trays to create 1/8 Cup portions that store compactly, don’t spoil easily, and fit in the blender for meal prep.
  • This recipe only shows Kale or Spinach using this trick.
  • Blending significantly compacts food, while adding some air, which drastically changes ingredient quantity requirements. If you’re going to do this, measure, blend, measure, then compare so that you know the difference.
• Tomatoes should always be fresh.
• Soak the almonds in clean water (I use filtered) for 24 hours, then rinse them. (Improves Digestion)

I started filtering my water after I realized that I was experiencing continuous, unmitigated, and agonizing abdominal pains. Since I started filtering my water, making sure to clean off as much soap residue as I can from my dishes, especially any dish that can contain water (i.e. bowls, cups, pots, pans, and mixing bowls {Soap goes to the bottom of the dish if you simply dump the rinse water.}); and started avoiding pork products (one of my allergies), my abdominal pains have completely disappeared. If I am not careful with any of those three factors, the pain comes back (but to a lesser degree). Anyone diagnosed with Crohn’s disease should consider whether these types of factors are affecting them. It does take a few weeks to notice the difference.
