Well, let me start by saying that I have never liked smoothies. I have tried to like them, as they are supposed to be "good for you", so I would try many differrent tricks to make them palatable. ( tons of sweetener, honey, sweetened yogurt, ICE CREAM!) Still, they left a slimy feeling in my mouth, and didn't sit well in my stomach.
Nevertheless, I was determined to try green smoothies, based on what RawPriestess said in her post titled " Raw Food Revelation". I walked straight to the kitchen and found whatever I had on hand, ( apple, frozen banana, baby spinach) and made my first green smoothie. I couldn't believe the taste! It was delicious and I've had one every day since. It must have been the slimy dairy in the smoothies that I've always hated. I just kept adding more and more dairy to try and make the fruit palatable, and I had it backwards! Man, I've been missing out! Why don't they serve these at McDonalds????
And is it just my imagination, or do I have a ton of energy when I drink one of these? I've been drinking them for three days and my skin seems to be clearing up some. What's going on here? I'm only about 50% raw at best, so I don't know if benefits would even be discernable. I'm ordering a dehydrator today, so hopefully this will add to my array of foods to enjoy. Thanks for listening to me ramble.....good health to all of you!
