Leafy Greens

[Avacado7]

After viewing the "Raw Foods Pyramid" I am realizing that I don't know much about greens and how to prepare them. Could you possibly suggest some ways to prepare your favorite "greens?" I have tried some in smoothies...but don't know enough about them....cause boy...my smoothie was sooo bitter!!

Thanks

Hi Karen, what in the world did you put in that smoothie, it shouldn't be bitter:)

Of course salads, I like to put a couple different green in my salads. Then you can put them in wraps with all your others stuff and of course your wrap is a green. Basically I use them in salads and wraps and smoothies.

Read "Green for Life" by Victoria Boutenko. Excellent source for smoothies. My guess would be your smoothie needed more fruit.

I don't like eating greens so I often juice them in a vegetable juice (you need a good juicer to juice leafy greens). Otherwise I chop some in a food processor with a few other things and walnuts to make a salad that's a meal in itself.
