Adding coconut to them has increased my energy and lessened my hunger as well as the irritability I get from it. It has also lessened my chances of grabbing SAD due to hunger. I have to get the young coconuts and blend and freeze them and just thaw out what I need for that days green smoothies.

In the past I was not having luck with my green drinks at all as far as getting them to stay fresh at work. Now that I make smoothies with fruit and I fill up the container I can get them to be fresh for a whole 'nother day. This is great because all this washing of greens and drying them so they don't rot is alot of work.

I don't think I am losing any weight though.

ooh I love green smoothies - :D :D
here's a recipe i've tried recently
1-2 bananas
greens (as much as you want)
1 peach
6 strawberries


green smoothies def. get some detox going. I often times cry for no reason after my green smoothie - don't know if it's reallly related to the GS, tho.

oh and as far as keeping them fresh ~ no luck here either. I personally have a problem drinking them if more than like 2 hours goes by since i made it. It gets brown and I loose my appetite!:eek: but they usually don't last that long any how!! :cool:
