The Foodist: Sustainable Spare Fruits and Veggies Smoothy
This is a secondary recipe from Rick’s Sausage and Cheese Tortellini Soup. The beauty of this is that it uses just five ingredients, a strainer, a blender, some epsom salt, drywall dust, and niacin tablets and Voila! Freeze the leftover ground tailings mix in the salt, gypsum, and niacin and freeze them into cubes. Then you have rabbit treats for the Rabbits. ZERO Waste and a very healthy drink.
