guys.. i was all on green smoothies yesterday- and i actually ended up drinking Bolthouse during the day since i coudln't make it home..:(
But anyway0- i came home in the evening and decided to make a big awesome smoothie.. i mixed banana, avocado, local greens, locally grown apple, bee polen, hemp seeds, spirulina, a bit of raw honey and some water... and as i was blending it i sipped some to see how it tasted and... MY BODY WENT CRAZY! i started getting all hot (like sweating) and trembling--- it's like it was saying OMG I NEED THISSSSSS FEED ME THIS NOOOOOOOOOOW!!! i frantically poured the smoothie in a big glass, grabbed a straw and drank that smoothie in the state of total bliss...
i wasn't THAT hungry before so i'm just so surprised how much i NEEDED all those super ingredients!!! There IS something about green smoothies :eek::D
DID anyone else have a similar experience with any food?
p.s. here's the smoothie :)

Pretty drink. Nope, I've never experienced that.

I've had the experience when trying to do all juices. My body will get very weak & as soon as I have a smoothie, I feel better. I don't put in all those ingredients though. Vitamineral Green & sometimes fruit powder like Camu-Camu or Goji.
That would happen to me sometimes when I first started drinking them. Not so much any more. Hmmmm... wonder if I'm just not starved for nutrients or if I'm just used to them? :confused::)

I've gotten that sort of feeling, ususally drinking fresh juices. Its almost like I can feel the nutrients going staight to my cells. Like my battery was getting low and suddenly put on the charger.:D

Ahh i'm glad i'm not alone :D Yes it's like you're charging yourself (like a big alkaline battery haha!)
BOLTHOUSE makes smoothies- they have good ingredients and are rather tasty. BUt they are of course pasteurised :(

Very creative of you thinking outside the "green smoothie" box - or what I would call a raw food smoothie (see my signature for website). So much more raw food can go into a smoothie besides fruit and leafy greens. I've been experimenting with this for years.

I've just recently been thinking about this as well.. I think I'm going to try to make a "V8" type smoothie with a lot of tomato and veggies in it.. have you ever done anything of that sort?

We are on the same wavelength.

How did you get a chance to take a picture if you gulped down that smoothie so fast??? I haven't gotten shakey all over, but i could feel the food energizing me differently then other type of foods...like a surge of life force energy.

Yeah!! I also sneak in a pinch of powdered kelp. Don't like the stuff but can't taste it hidden in a green smoothie and the minerals are so important.
