Date: December 11, 2014 02:38AM Hi! As my header above states, Is anyone here not very fond of green smoothies but loves green juice? I have tried and was inspired by Victoria Boutenko's youtube videos a while ago, to make green smoothies and I bought a vitamix. I made them for a while but was never too fond of them. And sometimes they're very hard for me to chug down but have been anyways because my boyfriend makes them. But I have a juicer and I love green juices and the way they make me feel. I was thinking maybe it's because my body needs more concentrated greens rather than blended up whole? Just trying to find theories or maybe I don't like the texture. Anyways wonder if anybody is like me. Maybe there's some of you out there. Re: Anyone who doesn't really like green smoothies but loves green juice?

Date: January 07, 2015 03:08AM I'm very much the same way. I cannot handle the texture of green smoothies (I have lots of issues with food textures, always have). I also have a cheap juicer that doesn't do a good job with leaves, so I blend them then strain the juice out. That makes a thicker juice, but not unhandlable. Before I went raw, I'd often take the juice pulp, mix with flax and oats, then make burgers. I just got a dehydrator and in keeping with a raw diet, I will be experimenting with omitting oats and dehydrating the pulp burgers and/or making pulp crackers as not to waste the fiber/nutrients in the pulp even though I don't care to drink it. It may be worth looking into other things to do with the pulp, because it is healthy and filling. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
