I feel that way after fruit..I know I'm not supposed to eat before bed, but anytime I'm not able to sleep or am feeling anxious about something, I reach for something tropical - a mango or pineapple. Knocks me right out! Can't eat them during the day anymore - I wouldn't be able to leave my bed at all. Very relaxing though..

If you feel like tired after a veggie juice or smoothie it is because you are detoxing.

Could be hard to digest and draws energy from you so you need to sleep. Couldbe!

Also, it could be the combination (to much different things) that could make it difficult to digest.

Heh.. I feel the most awake, strong and invigorated after a juice of green leafies. I haven't ever felt tired after juice but atm I notice that silverbeet juice seems to irritate my throat.

What makes me feel tired is over eating, especialy when avocado is involved.
