Hi To All The Green Smoothie Lovers,

Iv'e noticed there is a lot of talk about green smoothies on this site. 

I'm wondering if I am missing out on something.  Am  I being over concerned about food combining?  Because my digestion wasn't that great when I started going raw I have been pretty much into eating only so called 'good' combinations.  Which is fruit with lettuce and/or celery.  These are the only 2 vegetables that I know of that are recommended to have with fruit. 

I have heard that if you try and mix up more complex combos the nutrients in the meal wont be absorbed as well and you will get fermentation and that the fermentation has the same effect on the liver as alcohol.

I would be interested to hear your comments.

Thanks....

Peace...

Thanks for your input, I'll give them ago!  Iv'e always loved the idea of combining fruit and all greens together.  I think I'm going to really enjoy these creations.

Cheerio,

Lindi.

Thanks Jen, what about snow pea sprouts, would they be green leafies or vegetables?

Hi All

Quick question I love my green smoothies I take em first thing in the morning and take em to wrok in a thermos .
I have noticed them forming a foaming top ...I usually just give it a shake and its ok ...but it just occured to me am I adding too much greens and not enought water?

My smoothies usually consist of soaked dates grapes or pears frozen bananas 2 types of greens and what I call a flavour green ie basil or parsley or mint or some herb that will add zing to my say spianch rocket or whatever green.

Anyhow I am going to try out more newer recipies as I have been doing this type of recepie for about a year and my body is asking for new flavours now.

I used to drink more water but since introducing green smoothies I don't should I still try to drink water too as well as green smoothies?

Cheers

Hi Aguacate,  I have certainly used dates in my smoothies and I'm sure Neet does too.  If it's good enough for Neet it's good enough for me.

When sweet fruit is hard to find they're great for adding the missing sweetness too.

mmm dates and greens mmmmmmm mmmmmmm.....


yesterday was buying rocket and dates in the shop...and as i was waiting i was wrapping dates in rocket leaves and eating...mmmmmmm

so delicious....had the 3 people serving in the shop all around me,saying oh my god what are you eating,one knows i am raw vegan...and i was telling them how far i run ect...i bought 7 large rockies and the noice boy put em in a box with my other stuff...he looked at me and said you need a hand with that,i say nahh mate im fine,,ohh yes said your heaps strong...my parting words were,its all good im all raw baby....hee hee haarr harrr

Yesterday spent a lazy afternoon with a friend....and when we parted to go back to our place of residence,lol...i was cruising up the hill and there were two pathetic looking boys with their thumbs out,,,pushing their bikes,,i had a moment of "what the hell" and pulled up they couldnt believe it....they shoved their bikes in the back of my little hatch back...and promptly opened a beer and was shoving it at me...i said nah i dont drink,,,whaaaaaaaaaaat!!! they thought it very strange...i laughed the whole way to where i dropped them it was soo so funny....they were drunk as monkeys,so funny....umm i said next time i see them i am not stopping they can just make it to the top...i said fellas i run hills bigger than this whats your problem....they were breathing beer all over me,whhhhhhhhhhatttt!!!i just didnt stop laughing at them,it was hysterical....best day ever.....when i dropped them off they raced to the side of the road..and waved at me til i disappeared,sooo funny!the people across the road from us were laughing and craning their necks,prob cos i was trying to hold myself up clutching my side laughing so hard at these drunken boys!! oh and on their way to a 21 party,great start!!

Neet the miniature gladiator.  Eat men for breakfast and spit 'em out laughing afterwards.

Glad I wasn't at the 21st party but it would have been interesting to see those guys cycle back down the hill more drunk than when they needed help up it!!!

Love
May
