Hi,

I've been hearing alot about green smoothies and have ordered the book Green For Life.

Anyone doing the green smoothies ie. greens and fruit, whilst having diabetes or insulin resistance?

I've always been told you have to have protein with carbs etc so was wondering how green smoothies (with fruit) work for the glucose challenged?  Is it possible? Or just better to stick to green smoothies PH Miracle style (ie. greens and avocado etc no fruit).

Cheers,

Steve.

Ok,

So I found the answer in a rawfamily newsletter.

Just in case anyone is interested, although probably not based on the no replies, but anyways Smiley it basically said that the fibre in the fruit negates the effect (on blood glucose) of the sugars in the fruit.

So fellow blood sugar challenged buddies, drink up!

Cheers,
Steve.
