Colour: the green influence

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.
Takes me back to my very first Spirulina at Atomic Café ...
Nothing like some colour therapy for mother and daughter
(she drank directly out of the jug)!

  1. 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!

  2. A 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.

  4. Spirulina, could never drink the stuff, but used to take the tablets, great energy makers!
    Hope 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 :)

  10. My 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

  11. Dear Ange,

    I 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

  14. Poor 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.

Can't think of a famous quote that says 'communication makes the world go round' so you 'll just have to get my clumsy way of putting it instead ;-) Your comments are precious. Thanks for dropping by!
