You should see some of the stuff Piers eats... he makes these weird but wonderful health drinks with all kinds of different greens and other things and manages to eat them... they remind me of Joss's comment about her smoothie looking like pond scum! I like eating things that are good for me... but they at least need to taste neutral, if not tasty.

Maybe when using orange juice you just need to try adding less other fruit... so it's sort of like orange juice blended with greens. That could be fun to try. We just got in the Green for Life book on green smoothies... and a section is on savory green drinks... more like soups. I'll share a couple of my favourites later this week!

i wonder what oranges pineapple and greens with water would be like??

maybe i'll give it a try..firstly making sure that the pineapple is really ripe and sweet..

gotta tell you miss giggles...the rocket makes for a very yummy smoothie..

mine was bananas, mango,loads of butter lettuce,rocket and parsley...so pretty and green,and a nice tang with the rocket...

sorry for those whose greens supply at the moment is so limited..(sheryl..)

i think i may try my next one with some coriander...that would make an interesting twist i think...

get my green smoothie book soon...yay...can't wait to devour info on the greatness of greens...glorious greens....

Miss Giggles.... there are TWO copies from the pre shipment of Green for Life still here!!! If you order quick one can be in the mail tomorrow.. Janita's already went today!

Parsley - you could use just the leaves, and keep the stem for juice. OR chop the stem into smaller pieces before you put in... that might give it a better chance at blending.

PS Nectarines are delicious in smoothies... we have a whole tray of organic ones coming tomorrow! Very exciting.. and a tray of nashi's. I wonder how they would be in smoothies??

I believe you - a friend of ours ordered it from Perth last year!!

It's now scheduled again for re-release in March - cross your fingers. It's apparently being almost completely rewritten. Enjoy the old one, and don't be too sad if many things have changed. One thing I know has is in the old one he suggests leaving water out in the sun to charge it. Apparently research no longer supports that.

Green smoothies - love the idea of watermelon as a base. We tried grapes and nectarines last week and it was yummy!

Cheers,

Victoria has spent so much time researching with such an absolute passion,and we are so blessed to be party to this knowledge,wow! it's knocking my socks off...hubby is definitely drinking a large cup of my green smoothie every morning...and i've advised him not to pour his morning coffee on top of it....

sooo,it goes to show i haven't been imagining feeling so marvellous since introducing green smoothies into my life..

rock on green...i just adore my fruits..but in all honesty i knew there was something missing...Nikita...you mentioned the dizzy spells and feeling faint,this will all make sense to you if you read the book...

watermelon
limejuice
1-3 chunky pieces of aloe...blend until smooth...so delicious...

hubby had his green smoothie this morning...and i whipped up another batch tonight..bananas mango(sorry miss g) :rolleyes:1/2 bunch parsley and bok choy-water...very very green and delicious...both enjoyed some more tonight...i've drank 2 litres+ today...and whenever i make them or think of them my mouth waters...
