Then I chop it to death with kitchen scissors! Sprinkle on chia seeds and flax-seeds ( if needed add Annie&#8217;s Dressing)<\/em>&#8230; and I&#8217;m all set.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I have found it&#8217;s not that expensive eating this way. I don&#8217;t usually buy organic and I only use a small bit of each item, so there&#8217;s plenty for tomorrow. I go through kale the most. A about\u00a0<em>bunch<\/em> a day is $1.40. The first 5-6 leaves are cut into my salad. The other 5-6 leaves are used in a smoothie with some frozen fruit.<\/p>\n<p>The smoothie can be a bit\u00a0<strong>pulp-ie<\/strong> unless you own a high-powered blender, like <strong>Vitamix<\/strong>. Some days, I literally jog to my friend, Marianne&#8217;s house (with baggies in hand) and I use hers. Soon I&#8217;ll buy one because this drink packs all the nutrients of another salad. I just can&#8217;t eat more than one big salad a day. Marianne juices, but I prefer smoothies as there is no waste. You get the whole food, fiber and all. We freeze her pulp to make muffins.<\/p>\n<p>Our whole grains have consisted of oatmeal (fresh rolled), long-cook brown rice, quinoa and yummy muffins made from gluten-free flour.\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 24px;\">The flour is easy to grind if you have a mill, and a lot cheaper than buying from the store!\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 24px;\">Below I&#8217;ve included a link to free gluten-free baking classes.
