Kava Smoothie

Kava Curious
So I got a new batch of Kava in.  I did my normal 1/4cup in my normal strainer w/1tspoonish of Lecithin.  Poured 2 cups of near boiling water on it.  Let it sit out on the counter over night. (I am not scared of germs. I figure maybe some enzymes will come to life ;o)  I went to knead it today and it just went right through my trusty old strainer. Not happy. Not happy at all.  It was kind of gelatinous - like the thickener they use for liquids in hospitals and nursing homes. Runny pudding.

I thought what the blank am I going to do with this c-r-a-p.  Drank some. I was right, slimy, runny pudding.  I had plans of making a green smoothie at some point after my kava.  Hmmm.... I wondered... 

I put a banana, spinach, two kinds of kale, apple cider and water plus the kava goo into my Blendtec (similar to VitaMix) and thought here goes nothin!

One sip - I couldn't even taste the Kava.  Seriously. Seriously. I was amazed!  And now I'm sitting here pretty darn relaxed, even though my kava was quite diluted.

(fyi:  I did use a high quality unfiltered organic cider and also organic greens - not sure if that made any difference in taste)

Yee Hah.  Try it.  I feel great!
