I've taken a mountain of NSAIDs in the last 10 years just to be able to keep moving. But since adding protein smoothies, and now green smoothies to my diet, along with stretches, walking, and other exercises, I've completely quit taking NSAIDs. I'm still amazed at the difference good nutrition is making in my life. Thanks for showing how you make a green smoothie. Even for taking the time to just let the blender run so I could see exactly what you did and how long it took :)
Is it just me or is this man not GORGEOUS??? His wife must be a beauty too! Also, I have loved trying his smoothie suggestions. This one turned out to be a success for me!! Make more videos PLEASE!!!
Hi, I just found your videos and just started making green smoothies. I purchased a Blendtec last week at Costco. Thanks for all your help, the videos are great. I hope to see more of you on here! Not sure which is the latest vid that you see this, Rob
Tryptophan is what's in Turkey that makes you sleepy. Not Seratonin. At least that's what Ive been told. Good videos though. I was so excited when i made my first green smoothie. Finally a way to actually enjoy leafy greens without nasty dressings.
You may have already given out this information somewhere and I haven't seen it, or perhaps you don't want to, but I'm just curious as to what your profession is? And when you got into green smoothies? And what the rest of your diet consists of.
Your videos are very helpful! I'm just getting into green smoothies. Why do you cut off the tops of your strawberries? They are a green and its a green smoothie after all. It would also save time and waste if you left the tops on. Just wondering :)
You know, I think when I made this video I thought it may have been too weird for some of my viewers to see me dumping in the strawberries with the tops. So on that day I cut them off.
I just used a whole basket of strawberries in my smoothie today and I always use the greens. I'm glad you made that point.
I get all the comments right away from my videos, but sometime it take me a while to respond. When I read yours this morning, I just had to say thank you, thank you!
i have taken the first step to eliminating meds for the rest of my life by getting into the green smoothie craze. i know that you had some issues with depression not sure if anxiety aswell but i was wondering if you had any advise on how many green smoothies i could take per day for my transition from two types of meds to green smoothies ? also i recently found out that a neurotransmitter called serotonin which is the most important thing for someone to feel happy can be boosted by food.
how many green smoothies should i drink if im tryin to ween myself of depression and anxiety pills? i know you probably dont know the answer but i know you had some issues with depression and maybe anxiety also priror to your green smothie journey just wondering if you could point me in the right direction...
The best info and resource to have on hand is the "Green For Life" book I mentioned which is what I followed when I got started.
If you can do one quart mason jar a day with lots of green in it you will feel the effect very quickly. That is 32 oz a day. I double that when I can. It may take your body a week or two to adjust depending on your current diet but that is a good place to start.
You are my green smoothie hero. Started them over a year ago after watching your video and am now in the best health of my life and off 2 meds! This has changed my life. Thanks RJ!!!
wow 42 you look better than most people in there 30's. keep up the great work . after watching montel williams infomercial i wanted to make more Juicing. so i found you and boy am i glad. you are a true inspiration. thanks
I love your videos. I have some questions though. What's the name of that blender again? How much is it? and did you get the coco?and what store do you shop at you seem to get alot of organic fruits and veggies? I'm in Northern Cali near San Francisco.
So you should have no problem finding green smoothie fixins if you live anywhere near SF. We are in the hot bed of organic everything as you probably well know.
I get my produce from whole foods, community market and at our many local farmers markets in Sonoma county.
My blender is a blendtek and it's really powerful. They run anywhere from $250-$399 you have to search a little to find the lower priced ones. Let me know if I can help you find one.
You really need to learn to WASH YOUR HANDS after touching those dogs! before you handle food! quite disgusting dude!

Yea, I deal with both anxiety and depression.
Sunshine and exercise are both great remedy's for our issues. Combined with lots of leafy greens you will be on the right track.
I think Turkey has serotonin in it which is supposed to by why people get sleepy after a Thanksgiving meal.
Just start with the smoothies and as you start to feel better, you will know when to ease off on the meds.
