Neet - maybe it's time to walk gently toward the light, and enter Vitamix nirvana?

Yikes!  You can't have a blender pack it in mid-smoothie.  Crikey.

Ah, it must be Thai basil, which is a deep purple.  I might pop some in my basket on Saturday.

Sometimes called 'sacred basil'. I reckon a vitamix is one of the best investments you can make for your health.

My sister tells me she can hear me slurping from 3 rooms away. I tell her thats because its so good.

Yesterday my tummy hurt all day and nothing helped. Last night before I went to bed I had a green smoothie and a little while later, my tummy felt fine. By the time I went to bed all the pain had gone. This morning I was back to my old self and my breath was a lot better too.

Ahhh, the wonders of the gs!

Neet you are forgiven. Nobody has dropped by tonight. Not even my carroty friend, sigh.

just dropping in to say hi,to my fellow gs drinkers...bought up big in the banana section today...5 bags of frozen overripe nanas..and another 4 kilos of fresh oripe ones..and a bunch of eating bananas...should keep me cogging for awhile...

bought some huge fresh red lettuces,fresh dates,continental parsley..and red grapes...oh and some baby spinach...mmm will be creating some magic with that soon...

oh yeah..in the meantime i have eaten a divine custard apple,some fresh dates,a juicy white peach,and some red grapes...so i will be right for a while til dinner in a few hours...then more gs....filling up the scuba tank as we speak...

Joss - Neet is great with the camoflauge gear to collect greens - one word, and she can be on her way.....

My big confession which I will hide here on this thread is that late last night (when the RP forum crashed and wouldn't let me in again  ) I heard the reports of Cyclone Larry, and the loss of bananas.

I immediately exclaimed, out loud, eek - banana shortage!!!!

And then, I suddenly thought about people.  Thankfully, no loss of life - and I felt so terrible that my first thought was of the loss of bananas.  I told a few people at work about this today, and nobody threw anything at me, so I guess I'm not that evil.

My gs today was a beauty.  I had a bunch of chinese broccoli (leaves only) and two frozen bananas and two sweet juicy peaches.

My first glass just smelled of chlorophyll (thank you dictionary.com).  Now, I love wheatgrass juice, but it's 30ml of strong chlorophyll, and this was 1.5 litres!  I drank the first big glass without chewing, just straight swallow.

The rest went with me to work.  By that time, either the smell had subsided, or my body was used to it.  By the time I was half way through my container, my body was hip hooraying all over the place.

This is a mighty mighty GREEN drink.  Not for the faint hearted, but if you really really want greens, need greens - I can recommend chinese broccoli.  But beware, go to the bathroom mirror and smile.  Laugh heartily at your green speckled tooths, and then rinse!

p.s. You could always just add a few leaves of chinese broccoli to some sweeter/milder green like baby spinach or lettuce.  I'm kind of 'boots n all' about my greens.

ahhh,i'm on my way...we go a hunting for greens joss...i have my scuba tank on...

oh dear me yes,i am mourning the loss of the bananas,what a tragic waste,those poor people,that is their livelyhood,so sad...and now the price of bananas just triples...i kid you not....90% of crops wiped out...
