Title: American / Australian Conversions for Smoothies ? Post by: Sweetpea on Saturday 22 September, 2007 In the book “Green for Life” it is suggested to drink a QUART of green smoothie a day.
I have been to a couple of conversion sites but am getting a bit confused, as most sites will convert into British but not Australian. Can anyone please tell me the Australian equivalent of the following: American QUART = Australian? American GALLON = Australian? Many thanks Title: Re: American / Australian Conversions for Smoothies ? Post by: waterberry on Saturday 22 September, 2007 Oooh, I have lived in both places & can answer this :)
American QUART = 1 litre, Australian American GALLON = 4 litres, Australian Or close enough. Google says 1 quart = 0.94635295 Litres; and 1 gallon = 3.7854118 Litres. The term 'quart' comes from the 'quarter of a gallon', so it's easy for me to remember that the gallon is 4 of them. Then I think back to the people in the apartment getting their 'quart of milk', and it being the 1L size cardboard container of it. Title: Re: American / Australian Conversions for Smoothies ?

It will be easy to drink a litre of smoothie per day but I will have to draw the line at 4! |
