I hope you all get a chance to check this out! I've been trying to figure out all day how to link up with Amazon.com in order to sell MP3 tracks, but oh, well, another day. At least you can listen to the music to your heart's content here. One of these days I'll figure out how to make it easy for people to download to their own computers, too. Promise.

DELICIOUS BUCKWHEAT SMOOTHIE
Did you know that buckwheat is not actually a wheat grain? Buckwheat is a remarkable seed of a plant belonging to - of all things - the rhubarb family. It is chock full of nutrients; in fact one of those almost "perfect" foods, very digestible and a wonderful addition to the diet of folks who are sensitive to wheat. In the past I was able to find raw organic hulled buckwheat in the bulk section of a local health food market. Now, it seems the only buckwheat they have is the toasted kind, or what is called "kasha."
So now, I go online - where else? - and it shows up in 5-lb coffee-can type containers on my doorstep. I also buy organic rice drink from Trader Joe's and raw organic almonds from the local farmers' market.

Here's the recipe:
DELICIOUS BUCKWHEAT SMOOTHIE
Soak a cup of raw hulled organic buckwheat groats in just enough filtered water to barely cover them - they begin to sprout overnight! Then the container goes in the fridge. Also soak a cup of raw organic almonds.
Strain and and set aside: 1/4 cup of soaked buckwheat and 4 or 5 soaked almonds
Pour into blender:
1 & 1/2 cups rice milk, coconut milk or hemp milk
two fruits, such as:
1 red delicious apple cut into bite-size chunks
1 orange or other fruit cut into bite-size chunks
1 banana cut into bite-size chunks
1/4 cup blueberries or other berries
Buckwheat and almonds
Cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, ground ginger or whatever spices desired
Supplements such as Vitamin C powder or green powder Blend until frothy and enjoy!
