Worlds Best Green Smoothie Recipe

[Rxsiri]

Yes I am in love lol

You are so cute

[dgoren121692]

These ingredients are great, and there are many combinations. I also use kale and/or spinach as my base, and bananas, but I'm a believer in berries, so I also add berries (blue or raspberry, usually). While some complain about kale being bitter, the right amount of fruit will mask it just fine. Because of the blueberries, my smoothies are blue, but it's still 75-80% kale/spinach.

[rambone1]

That is one of the biggest myths that sugar from fruits spike blood sugar, it doesn't. Check out Robert Morse or read 80/10/10.  Fruit is the perfect food for man. Anyways, nice smoothie, I like to add a jalapeno or habanero pepper to mine to give it a kick.

[headhunter0420]

that blender is WAY too small. you need a NINJA!

[wjwfs]

Just one more thing that I would like to add. If there is anyone suffering for depression or any type of mental illness this is a great way to start to treat your condition. Emotionally I am so much more balanced than I was before eating RAW foods. Before, I was a slave to my emotions. Now, I am starting to feel like if I'm having a bad day I can stop it from becoming a train out of control that I can't manage. I have a much HIGHER ability to stop and make better choices for myself,emotionally.

[wjwfs]

It actually got to the point were I thought to myself I just my vomit. I don't know if it was because my taste buds are so used to processed foods or what. If there is any recipe that you can recommend for someone making a transition into the RAW world someone please point me in the right direction. Like I mentioned earlier I believe I am on the right track because eating RAW so far has me feeling great. Its just the taste that I can't seem to get over. SN: Sorry if I was a bit harsh.

[composertimbeek]

@wjwfs Trust me, you will get used to it. :)

[wjwfs]

@composertimbeek Thanks I'm already about a week into my transition. I just added a few more fruit to my next smoothie and it tasted great. Each day that passes I'm just adding a little more greens. I've learned that kale is somewhat strong tasting and spinach is a lot less noticeable. Just the other day I made a smoothie and filled it with spinach because I know i can take the taste. And to anyone who is experiencing the same problem and I just ease into it.

[wjwfs]

@wjwfs And you will be well on your way to enjoying a RAW lifestyle in no time. Good luck to all the Rookie Raw Eaters. lol

[ShineLoveLightShine]

@wjwfs Nice! Thank you for sharing your testimony  :)

<3 ))))

[wjwfs]

@ShineLoveLightShine Your welcome, when I first started with the RAW foods (5 days ago) I was looking at it like a diet or temporary thing. I didn't expect to feel so good so fast. This is something that I think I will incorporate into my life from now on. :-)

[wjwfs]

I just tried this smoothie and I feel great. A slight calm feeling has come over me. But I must say drinking this smoothie was one of the more difficult things I have ever done. At first it was green (witch I expected being that there is green stuff in it). Then I smelled it and it was quite pleasant. Then I tasted it, at first it was some what plan but very drinkable (or so I thought). The more I drank the "worlds best green smoothie" the more I realized how awful it actually tasted.

[youforick]

you make me laugh

[NaturesCycles]

Where do you get those glass jars with handles please?

[whytlillith]

@NaturesCycles walmart has them

[samaya0574]

The trail looks amazing!!! I'd love to get out there and run!

[aterlycan]

@eMediaNow Hi, I just wanted to comment here, insulin spikes are not something to be afraid of, because many foods do that, insulin is your bodies transporter, so when you eat, you rinsuling spikes and transports the nutrients to the cells. It is spiked blood sugar when using simple carbs that are the problem. because in this case the insulin spike stores it as fat

[OZRIC1985]

@aterlycan ..By the way, frequent insulin spikes are not good because over time they lead to insulin resistance. Anyway, this smoothie looks awesome and healthy, and I am going to definitely try it!

[aterlycan]

@OZRIC1985 This may be splitting hairs as far as meaning goes, but I think when you say frequent insulin spikes are the problem, I will have to disagree, just cause I eat 6 meals a day (your regular training diet regime) and every time I eat my insulin spikes to get the nutrients into the cells. However continued elevated insulin production (which for me is different then spikes, a spike per definition is a short term occurrence) but an continues elevated insulin level gives us ins. resistance

[das81]

I usually mix Banana, spinach and orange.

[eMediaNow]

I tried without banana to avoid the insulin spike and it was amazing...so refreshing and good for you!

[Shaudu1]

I am drawn to tihs guys personality, he's a good presentator. There is always going to be fault finders in everything you do, don't worry about, just keep doing. Thanks for the recipe, I appreciate it. Thanks Tim, pray for me, I will pray for you.

[midcitygym]

Tim, your looking way too thin man, great smoothie though.

[whytlillith]

@midcitygym any marathon runner like Tim looks like that.

[rainbowsalads]

i mixed lots of parsley with my smoothie today, must admit Wooo.zang n tang, wow i am in love too. smoothies are great.

[shortyjess86]

He's not selling anything. He's educating!

[quasim0do]

@shortyjess86 He's selling himself and his services.

[Narrowescape]

What's the song in the end?

[Alliejayhawk]

pbziegler why wyould you infer that he is an infomercial peddler? He is not making one cent. He should be! But no, he is generously sharing information to who ever wants to take it and better their lives with it. Not sure what your problem is really.

Tim thank you for another excellent video. I love your enthusiasm here!

[pbziegler]

Why do all infomercial peddlers waive their hands and arms all the time? I don't trust anyone who sells stuff using their hands a lot.

[msiterE]

@pbziegler what is he selling?

[tanpm0620]

so are we getting fewer available antioxidants from blending since they are being used up to neutralize the oxidation process?

[ladytezt]

Thanks for this! When I first started eating raw foods, the first thing I did was replace my breakfast cereal with your previous green (purple) smoothie. Looking forward to trying this one, too. Your videos are very well done.

[luckyfire3]

What do u do to prevent or treat blisters from running alot?

[g9g9g9]

informative and entertaining thanx!

[trapsmv9]

Ooh... Sounds delicious! I'll try it this weekend.

[youngfred116]

Thanks for debunking the oxidizing myth.

[shaktisue]

I tried this with one banana and four strawberries. It was light and sweet. I was expecting a slightly bitter smoothie!

[whatisaidbunnybread]

I would agree @bilko1971 he is quite the smoothie. Tim, have you lost weight? I actually had a dream about you the other night. Keep the good info coming, you ROCK.

[keepinitdown]

I just spent 5 minutes smiling and I didn't realize until the show stopped.

[ComradeRama]

I don't want to be rude but Tim looked better when he was a vegan. I know the raw food diet is the best diet for us. So I reckon that Tim is not doing it right. Perhaps Tim needs to eat more high calorie fruits and chill out on the smoothies. Try watching some of Tim's earlier videos right when he started the running raw campaign, you'll see that he looked more handsome than he does now.

[tamcon72]

@ComradeRama

He's still vegan, no? Do you mean cooked vegan?

[tehcyclo]

Looks great! BUT: Don't you wanna put some kind of fatty ingredient in there? So the body can absorb all the fat soluble nutrients? Perhaps some Hemp or coconut oil? :)

[rawvegan35]

i like your videos, I wish you would do more of them. That park looks amazing.

[veganmystic]

Love it! First thing I'm having after my fast. : )

[WinWinSituations]

Love the funny accents!

[Gary1111001]

811rs say leafy greens aren't really vegetables, and go well with fruit.(Though Kale is an exception; it's crusiferous) .

And the Juiceman says don't juice fruit with veggies, exept Apple is fine.

[SueMoseley]

The music is too loud compared to your voice - I keep having to move the volume up and down

[Munkiefan]

yay for more smoothie vids!

[Pepeti78]

Hi! what about ,half juice-half smoothie ,like using carrot juice instead of water after workout? or juicing the kale and the very fibrous veggies like celery?

[ladytezt]

@Pepeti78

I love to make juice (orange or carrot), then add frozen fruit in the blender. Makes a yummy treat! I don't do this every day, mind you!

[gupi1234]

you are sooo cute :-)

[fr3d420]

Your skin looks great, when are we going to see it pressed up against a sexy vegan woman... oh shit... if you're gay, I'm sorry, and I totally respect that.

[PandaBear0702]

jeez, peeps who worry about oxidizing blended food are borderline super crazy. it does the same thing that chewing does, but better and faster. why walk from point a to b, when you can run!?

this video is the opposite of not awesome

xoxo -- Rawk and Roll Jenny

[bilko1971]

Only Tim could bring so much charisma to a green smoothie video. I think you might be a bit of a smoothie yourself hey Tim, eh?

Hmm

One of the best though.

Good job.

[rubyvrom17]

Just posted this to the Liquid Lounge over at Raw Food Rehab.....LOVE IT!

[loveguitars]

Question?

Hey Tim,

What is you opinion about having no more than 25 gram of fructose in a day?

Thanks

[loveguitars]

Great Video Bro

[watzzupsport]

Good to see you having fun with it all Tim. I am a smoothie fan but I don't know about pineapple and banana together. Mulberry leave is a fantastic green to put into a fruit smoothie to help with the sugar load

[crash6871]

do you eat sushi? its raw.

[Crich775]

@crash6871 but it contains fish, which isnt vegan

[fetymann]

@crash6871 fish = mercury, PCBs etc...

epa . gov/waterscience/fish/study/re­sults.htm#data

...ocean fish are just as bad.

[quasim0do]

@crash6871 Sushi actually isn't raw. Sushi is the rice, which is cooked. And it's sometimes wrapped in nori which is usually roasted (there is raw nori though). But it's often served with raw veggies and/or fish though, so yeah, a small part of it is raw.

[KayeLaSha]

LOL..."I'm in love"..... :D

Thanks for enlighting me on juicing vs. smoothie.

xoxo

namaste,

The L.

[MySaraMarie]

NICE!!!!! I live in a little town on vancouver island and go on runs just like that all the time!! YEA BC!!!! :) thanks for a recipe!

[010871010871]

nice Tim nice, feliz cumpleaños !!!

javier santiago

[gregg4]

I like both juicing and smoothies.

I like to juice cucumber, celery and spinach together (all low in sugar) and drink this in the evening when you should consume fewer calories anyway.

Smoothies is more like a food to drink / eat throughout the day.

Love your videos Tim * * * * *

Gregg

[chaquitabanana31]

I like the long hair

[rkventures]

Love the French, and glad to see you back doing the recipes RK

[rawbirbella]

You look awesome and YES definitely younger and younger!!

Raw food rocks!

[makedonkainfr]

I thought that this video is older then the previous ones you look much younger! but i like you more with short hair...lol...un petit bonjour de la France....

[bobbyjans]

Wow...what a place to run at!!!

[GabyBRR]

:D!!

[jgq85]

Are you still eating 1500 calories / day?

How many calories do you recommend for a raw food muay thai fighter that's average 137 lbs?

[chelstheaggie09]

how is it possible you are looking younger and younger tim?! amazing!

[MaladaptiveCatalyst]

i throw so a wide variety of veggies into the blender w/ only two fruits...not sure if i should stick to just a couple of veggies and a couple of fruits

[zuiprax]

awesome!

What's the problem with eating veggies and fruit together? I always have fruit after my salad.

[todayisthedaytolive]

I agree, fruit is better not juicing it, but I prefer green juices over smoothies any day!!!

[Palmerito]

Thanks for the video, Tim! It's been a while since you've posted. We miss you. Enjoy British Columbia! I have enjoyed the same smoothie recipe. I like making it with coconut water.

[kosai19]

"Best argument for juicing vs blending," might be a better title.

Thanks.

[SophieRaw]

Waw! Awesome info!

[Elektraza]

You're in my hometown!

[crosspecans]

i love your videos. always full of info. easily understood easily followed. green smoothies rock. coolness. ps the hairs a bit long. giggles. waves~~

[808kat808]

Great vid, it was fun to watch!

I would love to see a video that goes over everything you eat in a day if you have a chance.

Thanks Tim =D

[zombia12]
