It’s going to be a great day! I’m so excited to share with you one of my all time favorite green juice recipes! Today’s breakfast is a meal replacer which is a mix of green juice called the Lemon Ginger Blast and Gorilla Milk. I’ll show you how to make the green juice first and then the Gorilla Milk.
I have kale growing in the garden and heading out to the garden as the sun is rising is one of the most fun things to do. I go out very early and pick my veggies.
It’s so easy to grow your own kale at home. Kale is one of those vegetables you should buy organic and it’s not always easy to find. Grow your own in your garden or even in a pot. It’s so simple. You don’t have to use pesticides. This is Red Russian Kale and it’s delicious and beautiful. You can use it to make kale chips as well. I’ll be posting my favorite kale chip recipe soon.
Rinse it all, peel the kiwi, juice it in the order above. It’s important to juice the greens first and then the juicy fruits. It helps flush all of the wonderful green out of the juicer. You don’t want to waste any.
Remember to do the greens first.
You’ll get close to a quart of green juice…I didn’t use pepper this time, but like to add it because it really feels cleansing to the body when you drink it. I’m using what I have on hand.
I don’t use enzymes in mine often as they’re quite expensive. If you want to buy Lou’s enzymes, you can get them on his website below.
Remove the wrapper and grab a sharp chef’s knife and cutting board.
You can see three lines at the top. You’re going to use the back blade of the knife to cut into the coconut right between the lines. You’ll do this all the way around the coconut in a circle so the top will pull right off. I’m using my Victorinox chef’s knife. You don’t really need a huge cleaver for this.
Look at all that beautiful and fresh coconut water!
There’s about 2 cups of water in this coconut.
To get the coconut meat out, just use a spatula. Insert it into the top and slide it down toward the bottom of the coconut. Continue around the whole coconut until the meat is loose. Then, pull it out. It doesn’t always come out whole, but this time it did. Clean it up and remove any wood shavings.
Place it in the blender with the coconut water, cinnamon, salt, and soaked almonds with water. I added a little more water to it as well. If you want it super thick, don’t add extra water.
Pour in the milk and then begin to squeeze out the milk by gently twisting and squeezing the bag with your hands until you have nothing left but pulp. There won’t be much pulp at all.
You’ll get about a quart of milk.
Now it’s time to mix this with our Lemon Ginger Blast!
Get out a quart jar or glass. Add in roughly half of your Lemon Ginger Blast. Then, fill the rest with Gorilla Milk to make a quart. Mix well.
You should get two quarts total of mix. This is two meals here with no cooking required!

I found this book by Lou Corona titled Get Lean, Clean and Serene with Lou Corona which I’ll be reading soon.
You can find it on Goodreads.
This week I’m reading two of Candace Robinson’s books. You can see them below… To add these just click the covers!
Blurb: People in the town of Deer Park, Texas are vanishing. There is a strange museum, known as Quinsey Wolfe’s Glass Vault, that appears overnight. Perrie Madeline’s best friend and ex-boyfriend are among the missing. Perrie, along with her friend August, go on a pursuit to search for them in the mysterious museum. Could the elusive Quinsey Wolfe’s Glass Vault have anything to do with their disappearances?
-I started this one a few days ago. So far it’s really sad. May has just lost her father and is trying to move on with life. She was very close to her dad and he died from lung cancer. Despite the sadness, I like the book so far and I’m enjoying the writing.
Thanks for reading today’s Breakfast and a Book! I hope you’ll come back next week!
Wow! Your kale pictures of gorgeous! I’ve never heard of thai coconut! Great share! Your step by step instructions are fantastic!
Thanks, Nel! You’re so sweet <3. I'm so glad you liked the post and thanks for your kind comments.
Making gorilla milk sounds less risky than milking a large monkey.
Breakfast and a book is such a great idea. 🙂 Love kale!
