this is Ewa from Poland. Could you please tell me if eg. broccoli or cucumbers are OK as greens in a smoothie? Or do those greens have to be leafy, like romaine? Sorry for my shabby English, Ewa Re: what exactly is considered greens in a green smoothie?

Date: October 29, 2006 01:39AM I've never tried broccoli - don't think it would be so great. cucumbers make it light and airy and very fresh. Most of the time when we talk of putting greens in our smoothies, we are refering to leafy greens: spinach, kale, parsley, romaine, etc. Plus what ever fruit you desire. Frozen bananas are a good addition to make it cold and thick like a milkshake. I like to add cinnamon and ginger to mine - really wakes me up in the morning.

kale of all types arugula (one of my favorites favorite favorites!) dandelion greens spinach collard greens chard cilantro spirulina and/or bluegreen algae flakes Re: what exactly is considered greens in a green smoothie?

Date: November 26, 2006 08:39PM P.S. Today I got turnip greens. I like to buy whatever is the best deal by the pound. Sometimes I get mustard greens too, but they have a very strong and distinctive flavor I'm just not always in the mood for.  Re: what exactly is considered greens in a green smoothie?

I am curious. Personally, I would be concerned about acidity and other issues with pasturized juices. Re: what exactly is considered greens in a green smoothie?
