It sounds very tasty.
I use Hunza Apricots (3/4 to 1 cup), Calimyrna Figs
(2 or 3), and Peruvian Olives (3 or 4) in my Green
Smoothies, in addition to the 'greens'....WY

good going jodi, I love those green smoothies. I am sure you could find some new nettle sprouts they are all over in my back yard. The nettles bring a whole lot of healing to the body but I suggest trying a small bunch in the beginning because they are powerful. When you blend them the stinger is gone so you dont have to worry about that.

Jodi,

I know you said you're kinda winging it with what goes in, but if you quantified your "two big bunches of greens" in kale leaves, how many leaves would that be? I just started with green smoothies again and wanted to know. Also what type of raw diet did you eat before this? (Ie, fruitarian, high fat, mixture, etc...) Sounds like you got some great results!

i think 2 big bunches equal about a good 3 cups of packed greens smiling smiley like if was to stuff a cup full it would be a well packed cup smiling smiley i'll get a better estimate for you tommorrow when i do my morning one smiling smiley

my diet previous the last 2 weeks was a mixture no real set plan .. high fruit some days for days at a time .. some gourmet fancy high fat stuff on the weekends .. i gravitate more towards greens then fruit in general smiling smiley i really love veggies .. fruit ive had to attain a taste for the last few years smiling smiley i tend to eat fruit early in the day and greens and veggies midday to evening smiling smiley i do my non cooking experiments on the weekend when i have more time winking smiley
