I read the recipe many times over trying to determine just what to do with it.
Healthade. A beverage? A dressing? A sauce? A laxative? A magic potion?
For my first effort, I mixed it up in my cocktail shaker and poured it into in a martini glass. After one sip--I knew I had made the wrong decision.
I pondered my next move... Being very careful not to anger the Healthade.
Hmmmm. Maybe I could use it as a marinade for that chicken sitting in my fridge? But even as the idea popped into my head - I immediately vetoed it. I just couldn't bring myself to possibly ruin a perfectly good piece of poultry. Plus - that poor little chicken would have died in vain if my Healthade horror turned out to be a flop. And I just couldn't live with that guilt.
What to do? The Healthade was becoming impatient with me, and I think it was starting to sense my fear.
So I began to nervously to peruse the pantry for some ideas, and there it was right before my eyes! A can of bean sprouts. The perfect pairing for my Healthade! I poured the insidious liquid on top of the sprouts as gingerly as possible - careful not to taunt or disturb it.
The outcome seemed to please the Healthade. So I tasted it. A sudden wave of nausea fell upon me. Something just wasn't right. To avoid any further problems, I promptly dumped it right down the garbage disposal. Gone forever.
Or is it? *cue creepy music*
Thinking about making your own Healthade???
Warning: Clear your mind. It knows what scares you.

Onion juice *and* liquid squeezed from cooked veg - what's the opposite of synergy?!?
Feeling vaguely ill just thinking about it...lol!
That's a recipe that can remain in the 1960s, me thinks...
You are so brave! That just made my skin crawl thinking about drinking it
I don't think I'll be replacing my Saturday night martini with Healthade any time soon.
