[violetgirl]

Hi!
Well, my 30-day challenge officially begins tomorrow so you'll be able to follow my progress via my online journal. Anyway, I am kicking off my personal challenge with a seven day green smoothie fast....... I love green smoothies and I am confident that they will jump-start my successful foray into a 100% raw lifestyle. ALSO, I HAVE MANY, MANY AWESOME RECIPES TO SHARE!

Care to join me for this 7-day fast?

i don't want to join you, i just want to wish you luck!
i haven't aquired the taste for green smoothies yet :D
i'd love to see some of your recipes, though!

Sounds interesting.....

I think I may do it. Would we only consume green smoothies, or would fruit in between be ok? Also what are some of the recipes?

Here's a recipe I made up recently using the abundance of mint that grows wild on my property. It's PERFECT for a smoothie fast.

MIGHTY MINT SENSATION

Ingredients:

8 oz. fresh-squeezed orange juice
1 banana, frozen
1 banana, unfrozen
1 cup strawberries
1/2 cup fresh mint
raw honey to taste

Whirl in blender and enjoy. Fresh mint is listed as an exemplary ingredient in Victoria Boutenko's "Green for Life" text.

I am going out now to the field behind my house to pick wild strawberries. These are THE BEST!

I'm drinking a strawberry, banana, OJ and spinach smoothie right now w/ some frozen pineapple in there because we don't have ice. I would love to join you on your green smoothie fast, but I don't think I have the courage too! So just green smoothies and water I assume?

[Ka-Yun Yoon]

I think so,,, how bout green tea and vaitamins?

[Mookie]

Are these green smoothies or fruit smoothies?
The only green I see is mint. :confused: :confused:

I would like to try the fast, but need to start on Monday...

Hi! I am new to this site and new to being raw. Actually very new and only partially as I have a family to cook for. I think that I have candidiasis or candidas albicans or something and thought that I should get away from the fruit smoothies and try to do green ones only for awhile. Someone had suggested celery juice. I got it down while I was at work but I thought that I was going to throw up. Yech! I could really use some recipes for vegetables and if they are somewhere on this site please direct me. Thanks!

[Ka-Yun Yoon]

sure, and u can try ta mix them so ya don't have to taste the veggies :D

try:
bunch romaine lettice
2 bananas
2 kiwifruit
lime, honey, and mint to taste

or if you only want veggies,,,try:
1 sweet potato or yam
2 carrots
ginger, honey, and cinnamon to taste

hope that helped some, u can also add flawseeds to them for more nutreints :)

I'd love to join you in a smoothie fast!! I'm [very] new to the whole raw food diet, and I think fast would be a great way to kick off my newer [better] lifestyle.
Have you any recipie ideas?? Especially any that could also have a detox effect.

Looking forward to it :)
