Potassium Broth

I learned about this when I was at Kripalu in the Berkshires. Make this potassium broth for a snack. You may drink up to four glasses of this per day. It is from the Kripalu cookbook and written by Atma JoAnn Levitt. The comments in purple were added by me..........

Recipe
4 cups grated potatoes (2-3 medium potatoes) - I just cut them up so I can eat them.
1 ½ cups grated carrots - I slice these.
1 cup sliced onions - Vidalia onions taste great at this time of the year.
¾ cup scrubbed grated fresh beets - I call beets natures candy.
2 stalks celery, halved
¼ cup chopped parsley - I must add that this is straight from my organic garden.
1 bay leaf
10 cups water

In a large pot, combine all of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for at least one hour, preferably for 2-3 hours.

Add more water as the vegetables cook, if needed. Strain the vegetables and discard. Reserve the clear broth. Serve hot. (This broth can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days and reheated before serving.)

p.s. I did not discard the vegetables. I sprinkled them with Sensa and they tasted very good. I know this is mostly a winter recipe. But, it is a great kick start to sensable eating. I do not want to rely solely on the Sensa. The sprinkles are really reducing my appetite. But, I want to learn a thing or two on my journey. And, my goal remains the same...........Being healthy........
