I N D A

One of the easiest ways for me to make sure I eat all those nutritious fruits and veggies I buy at the farmer's market is by making smoothies. When I started experimenting making veggie/fruit smoothies the consistency I got depended on what I had in my fridge. But with trial and error, and a little help from my friends at Raw Family, now I know how to make the tastiest smoothies every time. Valya Boutenko of Raw Family demonstrates how you can avoid foamy, unpalatable green smoothies by knowing the difference between soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. She demonstrates that by adding fruits that are rich in soluble fiber you can transform the texture of a green smoothie into something creamy and delicious. Mmmm... *Warning: If you or someone of your immediate family suffers from thyroid problems, be aware that raw crusiferous vegetables are considered goitrogenic .

Really nice brief talk by Britta Riley on open source collaboration. Riley along with online social media supporters of her idea developed and perfected the window farms garden system. You can buy the group’s awesome ready-made kit, or download free plans to build your own from recycled bottles.
