Can you overdo it?

I'm pretty new to raw food, si I don't know a few things. I made a green smoothie for lunch and accidentally made about twice as much as I intended. I drank the whole thing and now feel a little light-headed, jumpy, and out of sorts. Sort of intoxicated. This happen to anyone else before?

It may be a sugar high. What did you put in the smoothie

I find a lot of greens can do that to me if I'm not used to eating/drinking a lot of them.

You can easily keep what's left of a smoothie in the fridge for a few hours.

Don't worry, it'll wear off. :)

Hi alan.

i know what you mean.

once i made a green smoothie with nothing but dark greens

of all kinds.

it made an entire quart and i drank it immediattely

then i had all this energy and felt like running around the block

this does wear off

did you put any sugary fruits in the smoothie?

i would say that for what it is worth, it is a good sign that the food is

going right to the places it needs to to give energy to the body.

take care :)

thanks everyone for replying. there was one banana, an apple, and a couple of carrots which could've made for a sugar zap. Mainly, the drink consisted of dark green kale which is what I felt like cranked up the electricity or something. Man, that was sort of freaky!
