Date: March 16, 2008 08:38PM what is the ultimate recipe for a green smoothie? I have a regular blender. Its works really well. And I have a Juicer. What are some good recipes. I'm really new to this, and I've been raw for 5 days now so far. I know that some people add something called vitamix...can someone tell me where i can get the ingredients.
thanks everyone! Re: ultimate green smoothie

Date: March 17, 2008 01:10AM Here are a few that I do on a regular basis:
6-7 pieces kale 1 apple 1/2 lime with peel 2-3 big handfuls arugula 4-5 leaves of mint scoop of chia seeds (does anyone else go crazy over chia seeds?) 1 banana 4-5 strawberries unhulled, just thrown in after washing 1/2 head of small cabbage - or a good amount of any other green Sometimes I soak the chia seeds before I add them so that they gel up. If I don't have apples, I use pears. Since I only eat 2 a day, I usually just blend the whole apple or pear. one more - 1 stalk celery - the whole thing (not one rib) 2 c (usually I do less, 1 c is fine for me) 1 banana I used to do the Green lemonade from natalia Rose's book, but she recommends juicing everything and lately, I am totally into the blended drinks instead. YUM! I can't wait for breakfast! veggie Re: ultimate green smoothie

I used to buy chia seeds for my blender drink back in the mid eighties. Sometime in the late eighties, the price went through the roof, costing as much as $18/lb. My local health food stores just stopped carrying them. They told me the chia pet craze was driving up the price. Since then, I have yet to see chia seeds in any health food stores. Locally, I have a Trader Joes, Whole Foods and New Seasons. Haven't' seen chia seeds at any of them. Do you order them online? Re: ultimate green smoothie

Date: March 17, 2008 01:03PM I have been getting them at whole food (in florida) but am going to start getting them bulk through a friend who orders them. They seem to have incredible nutritional content, just wondering if anyone else agreed. Interesting story about the correlation between the seeds and the pet. The darn media!

Date: March 20, 2008 01:24AM mmm sounds good. But what I was talking about before was Superfoods. Does anyone use superfoods? A friend told me that he makes it be individually buying everything dry and then makes a weekly supply of it. whats the best one "pre-fab"...and should I use it? Re: ultimate green smoothie

Date: March 20, 2008 01:38AM There's no real consensus about the exotic superfoods. Some people really enjoy them. Personally, I don't feel the "aliveness" of any dried, powdered food supplements. I eat raw cocoa once a month or so, but that's mostly because I'm accustomed to chocolate in my life. Otherwise, I feel that fresh fruits and veggies are my best superfoods. An apple a day keeps the doctor away! Re: ultimate green smoothie

Date: March 21, 2008 02:42PM People use different definitions of "superfoods". Some people mean anything with especially strong nutritional characteristics, like blueberries and parsley. Others refer to more exotic foods that are often expensive and sold dried. For a tour of some of the more obscure superfoods, take a look at Shazzie making a superfood snack food: [www.youtube.com] Re: ultimate green smoothie

Date: March 24, 2008 11:15PM The best Superfood is Wheatgrass Juice. Use it on your face, too, mixed with clay as a mask. It makes the skin look years younger......WY Re: ultimate green smoothie

I LOVE Wheatgrass Juice! Unfortunately I am only able to use the powder form since I don't have a machine to juice fresh. But I drink it every day and I love the earthy taste of it!! I actually crave it a lot of times. Anyway, I am interested in that mask thing....what kind and where do I buy this "clay" to mix it with and how much to mix? THANKS!!!
