How many ounces of smoothies do you drink per day?

[GoingtoRAW]

Is 60 to 64 ounces of smoothies too much each day? I have been drinking 2 smoothies per day for almost 3 weeks. Each are 14 (usually more) to 32 ounces for a total of 28 to 64 ounces per day. My morning smoothie is all fruit and my evening smoothie is green w/fruit. I eat one meal a day plus raw snacks and I eat 100% raw almost every day (still transitioning).

BTW - I feel great - I feel like a new person since starting the smoothies!;)

Thanks.

And so, what is your question? ;)

If you are feeling good, that means you are not drinking too much. It is probably just right. I just realized I was getting too much fruit in my diet altogether, so I'm making my smoothies with less fruit and more greens. Now I don't feel so sugary. Good luck to you!!

.....tail stuck between my legs....Thanks you guys!:o I think I was really worried about all the sugar from the fruit. I'll continue what I'm doing!:rolleyes:

I don't know about ounces, but I usually drink 2 GS/day, and they're each a little more than 2 pints (estimated based on the fact that I drink them from pint glasses meant for beer). So energizing and filling and delicious and amazing!

Sounds good to me. I was drinking 64 oz in one sitting.

Zero. Don't like smoothies.

I have had to stop myself from doing that a few times. They taste soooo good!

The other thing is that I often don't have an appetite for food - I just want smoothies!!! :)

Smoothies are food.

You are so right!! I have got to get use to this new way of "eating":D

My goal is to drink a quart of green smoothie a day. I am very inconsistant with adding these daily. I have not developed a taste for them like others have.

I usually drink between 32 and 64 ounces of green smoothie each day. I don't know what I'd do without them! My only trouble is varying the greens. I pretty much rotate between spinach, kale, and dandelion. So I need to widen my options there. I don't like salads, so I get my greens almost entirely from smoothies. I know some people do liquid "feasts," so I doubt that you could OD on smoothies. Just keep listening to your body and feed it the raw food (smooth or solid) it's asking for.

I am pretty "regular" on smoothies - i crave them now - usually 3-5 cups per day - but they have now lower "green content" usually kale, parsley and/or spinach are in most of them:)

I enjoy a smoothie most days made with soaked raw almonds, banana and lost of berries and soem cacao. I ususally drink around 28 ounces, but funny thing is I am starving within an hour. I usually have to have something else to sustain me after. I still drink them but dont get the satisfied feeling.

I drink between 32 and 64 ounces of green smoothie each day, with 32 ounces being a minimum. I vary the greens daily and they are probably 50/50 fruit versus greens. Love my smoothies!! And I've been doing this for years... makes me feel great and I know what great nutrition is going into this body!

Possibly because it's basically "pre-digested" and goes through quickly. I'm that way as well. I just eat more. :)
