Mixing fruit and vegetables

[cali209]

Hi All,

Been awhile but Im back...

Im starting to make shakes again (using vitamix blender or regular) and wondering whats the thought on mixing fruit with veggies.

I see many recipes saying to mix OJ with greens, for example.

Im not worried about taste as I can always get the taste I want but I thought I read many times before that mixing fruit and veggies is a bad thing. Maybe not?

I know the Kloss who wrote Back to Eden was against mixing them.

Any input appreciated...also looking for some green shake recipes too...

Thanks

I don't generally hear of fruit/veg mixture being discouraged. Fruit/nut combo is discouraged though.

As for green shake recipes, try doing a search here for "green smoothie" - you'll find oodles of excellent suggestions :)

There is a food combining chart you may want to consider, although many people have said they don't take this into account. I don't either, I just followed it when I was coming off a fast just to be safe.
