My First Green Smoothie!!!

[RawLozzy]

Hi Guys!

I was reading on the boards about green smoothies, so went into my kitchen (it's midnight here in Sydney) and whipped myself up a smoothie with an orange, some blueberries (frozen) and some baby spinach leaves!! It was a radioactive green colour, but sooo yummy. I know what I'll be having for breakfast tomorrow morning :D

I am having mine as I read this and it is a slightly muddy green because of the gogi berries. I would prefer radioactive green.
Keep up the good work.

Aren't green smoothies wonderful?! I always feel so great after drinking one! :) I'm drinking some fresh squeezed orange juice right now, I always put about 3 cups of that in my smoothies :p :p

YAY Radioactive Green that is awesome!

Yup you will make others too and some taste Scruptious and others well Like you're eating your lawn! haha
Just write down what you toss in them when they knock your socks off yummy :D

I don't have a vitamix or really good blender yet so I make do with Juicing first then blending in my food processor.

My smoothy this morning has been:
8 organic carrots (juiced)
2 oranges (squeezed)
2 apples (juiced)
BIG handful of baby spinach (food processor)

OH glory is it good :)

And BTW? It looks simply AWEFUL to look at but I have long since gotten over that part of the green smoothie ordeal :cool:

Congrats on your first green smoothie. I have green smoothies for breakfast everyday, today was blueberries (frozen), strawberries (frozen), and napa cabbage, with a little almond extract (I know it's not raw, but I'm not raw, so I use it. I would have used a handful of almonds instead, but I'm all out :(

Some other great combos I've found are-

Lemon zest-Lemon juice-Banana-Spinach
Romaine Lettuce-Strawberries-Cherries-Walnuts
Cacoa Powder-Banana-Spinach (tastes like a banana-chocolate milkshake!)
Strawberries-Cherries-Vanilla Bean-Spinach

I really want to try to make an orange-almond butter-spinach mixture. Maybe tomarrow....

This morning I had mango, banana and spinach and it was wonderful. I have a regular blender and no intentions of spending big bucks on a Vitamix. I put kale in a smoothie and didn't like it because I had to actually CHEW my smoothie...lol..

I would like to put in some other greens so I can make sure I"m getting all the different nutrients I need, does anyone have any suggestion as to a mild-tasting, not-too-tough green?

Thanks!

yay! i live on them... over the past year i have come to rely
on them to help me when i am "stuck" - if i can't decide what to eat,
i'm in a rush, i'm in a funk - i have a smoothie & it does the job - everytime! they are yummy & i have gotten to the point where i crave them (esp that time of the month). i usually have at least 1 a day - & somedays i'll have 5!!!
