Oooh! I love green smoothies. They help clear up my skin and also can help with weightloss. Varying the fruits also changes the flavour. So thankful to Jehovah for these little things.

This is very interesting.

I just began reading this book...a very interesting read.

Excellent book and a good read.. well researched. The authors went on to produce the documentary Forks over knives.

this was also very good, not ready to give up animal products altogether, but I'm happy doing 60 to 70% plant base diet.

Sweet Potato Smoothie

[boodles]

We're thinking to get a juicer. Our options are rather limited. Does a higher wattage mean it extracts better? Any thing else we should take into consideration?

 

 

These are basically our choices:

I've just ordered a juicer. There are two types, centrifugal and cold pressed. The centrifugal ones use a blade to extract the juice and are quicker. The cold pressed is a bit slower, and you may have to chop your veg up a big. But from reading about it the consensus seems to be that the centrifugal ones are more likely to destroy nutrients and are trickier to clean.

I'm guessing the higher wattage ones spin faster...but that doesnt necessarily seem to be a good thing. it's worth looking on YouTube at the different results from different juicers.

The other thing is its best to juice mainly veg, with maybe a little fruit to sweeten. People fall in to the trap of eating too much fruit sugar via juices.

I have ordered this one

I hope it's ok, as it is very cheap! I didn't want to spend loads, I've already got a fancy blender so didn't think I could justify spending too much on this

DawnMarie I love your visuals and your beautiful skin...what are you no more than 22...25 years old. I love smoothies but the greeness of it all stands in my way of healthy. Plus there's that love/hate relation I have with kale.

 

I do LOVE:

 

plain greek yogurt

avocado

lemon juice

honey

kale

green apple

 

OR

 

unsweetened almond milk

berries

cinnamon or turmeric or cardamom

kale

ground flax

 

These are so good, sometimes I think I'm cheating and man I can't wait to taste all the delicious foods in the New World.   

Has anyone made bone broth, I would like to try a a batch this winter.

This is a great talk given by Sergei Boutenko, one of the original proponents of green smoothie. Very informative and inspiring.

 

[destiny]

This was a good watch! seen it before...thanks for posting!

[Precision]

The Boutenko's have written The book on green smoothie recipes, nutritiously beneficial and highly informative. Also Sergei has a wild edible blog for those who crave grazing .

It reminds me of the green smoothies I get out of the end of the garden hose on a hot summer day. I can't help gagging thinking about it.

green smoothies? smacks of vegetables to me. in my quest to eat healthier than I had in the past, green smoothies help me to sock away vegetables, w/o a moments hesitation. I'm finding that if I eat something fresh, that it does make me feel like I am on the right track.

one of my favorites is broccoli, celery, yogurt, and orange juice. I do keep a bag of frozen fruit in the freezer to break up the monotony.
