Outside the fields are lush and rich under the pelting rain ...
Inside, Chickpea is under the weather.
So we made up some emerald green spirulina this morning
to brighten the spirits
and strenghten the immune system.
Nothing like some colour therapy for mother and daughter
(she drank directly out of the jug)!
Wooh!!! What is that?? I had to google it... I must say I don't think I'd be persuading my son to drink that down too soon... it looks like my paint jar. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteA blast from the past Ange, that used to be one of my favourite places when I lived in Auckland. Another was Simple Cottage in high street in the city - I also adore spirulina :-) Now where did I put those mung beans?

ps I used to be a member of SAFE, SPUC and Greenpeace, not sure what this says about me.
Hi Ange,
ReplyDeleteI hope your little chickpea is feeling loads better and the Spirulina gave her a lift. XXXX
Spirulina, could never drink the stuff, but used to take the tablets, great energy makers!
ReplyDeleteHope your little one is feeling better, and thanks for your comment, my little one is settling very nicely to school and making heaps of friends. It makes going to work so much easier :)

Hey Ange
ReplyDeleteI love green anything and this green is wonderful.. so rich, enticing .. and healthy!!! I haven't had spirulina for ages!! Great idea might have to get me some!! or just drink in the colour from the page!! Hope Chickpea feels better.. xx Julie
What a good girl you have...my boys will not touch anything green!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better this weekend,
Nathalie
My initial thoughts were WTF? are you giving Chickpea!! I thought it was one of your acrylic inks. Heh heh...thank God for google. Hope it works.
ReplyDeleteMy girls are pretty good on the vege front, but I don't think I could persuade them to try spirulina without a hefty bribe. Hope all is well again soon. xx
ReplyDeleteDear Ange,
ReplyDeleteI am not so sure that i am able to down a drink of green, but then if I knew what was in it, it could just change my mind.
Also thank you for acknowledging my work on The DIRECTORY and posting the banner on your sidebar.
Warmest regards
Egmont
Wow!
ReplyDeleteI had NO idea what that stuff is...you have inspired and I must research. Great post, best wishes to chickpea, sweet thing.
Hugs,
Rhonda
Hope everyone feels better for drinking the 'paint pot'!
ReplyDeletePoor little Chickpea...I hope she feels better soon. Spirulina is the greatest isn't it? I love to take it in liquid form, purely because it grosses the kids out. "Ewww, it's Shrek juice" they squeal. I remember a patient at work telling me that she suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and of all the therapies and medications that she tried, Spirulina had made the most difference to her well being. So there. You're on to a good thing. Go green, baby! Meredy xo.
ReplyDeleteLol - I thought it was paint too! Brave girl, your little one! I could never get my neices to drink this - but I'll try anything once. Hope she's well soon!
