  • Good tips

  • I wont say that this is not good, healthy or anything, but I think it goes too far with this "organic" nonsense. So if I eat quarz sand that is totally inorganic (SiO2) I will survive and basically nothing will happen, even so it is important part of diet! But if I eat totally organic Amanita phalloides I will die in pain. What are we talking about here? You said... if I eat rock, so there you have it.

  • My biggest problem with this video is the bit about the rocks and dieing. You won't die from eating rocks, you'll just have some killer dumps. You may die from the dump, but not from the rocks.....

  • Spot on Tim!  Great clip. I send hundreds here to watch. You make it FUN and people like that!

  • Cage free blueberrys;)

  • Amen on not guzzling- chewing builds up saliva and helps pass the carbs through gut so protein gets released....

  • Fab , thanks , informative and funny ;)

  • OMG! You CRACK ME UP! Educational and entertaining!  Love it!

  • why every male vegan athelite I see looks so unnaturaly boney on the face ???? ..shit. !!!.even the ones that train and are masculine in their bodies have sunken eyes into their eye sockets and their faces are not showing perfect health they look more like faces of a starving person...honestly :O

  • I dont like kale is spinach ok to use?

  • Tim, You are so cute. Thanks for the great vid!!

  • Great video!!

  • the most important thing about smoothies RRRRRRRrrRRRR

  • cage free blueberries lol

  • RunningRaw is hot! I'd like to see him outdoor exercising nude Ancient Spartan Style! ;-)

  • I have gone 60% Raw for 19 days and it's amazing! I have lost 11 pounds without exercising YET and I have much more energy and my sleep at night is better than ever. I wake up every morning completely energized and not tired. My wife is starting to become a believer. My kids think I'm nuts. My friends and family think I'm nuts. I smile!

  • I like how people get serious about eating "organic" food but they don't realize that all organic means is that it contains carbon, which is in almost everything....it's just a marketing term used to get suckers to pay more for the same thing...

  • @UUreviews

    Not true, Organic Agriculture is radically different than conventional.

    Pesticide, Herbicide, Insecticide , Larvacide chemical fertilizers REDUCE Nutritional content . its obvious common Sense. Chemicals, ummmm NOT good , sorry dont want em you can keep em,

    I DONT WANT THEM ON MY FOOD !!!!  NEVER

  • huh? what is critical?

  • you remind me of owen wilson

  • best green smoothie vid. on youtube

  • At least use a ripe banana!

  • Also: the darker the green veggie the higher oxalic acid content!

    Ever get gout? Dark greens are best consumed cooked, cooking breaks down the oxalic acid.

    There is a reason for cooking some foods, dude.

    Contest this, but first, do your homework.

  • @ERICWAGNERSLUCID This is true great post!

  • @ERICWAGNERSLUCID

    Cooked Oxalic Acid is alot more toxic than raw , Cooking is Poison

  • @AnatomicalALIGNMENT

    You should look before you leap: bullets do not kill it is the speed at witch the bullet travels that gives the bullet the power to kill:

    (Contest this, but first, do your homework.)

  • @ERICWAGNERSLUCID

    Understand this, you are giving me pie in the sky Theory. what im talking  about is real world actual results, and its undeniable that When Humans include alot of Raw Organic Greens into their diet, their health improves alot

    watch vids with VICTORIA BOUTENKO

    Life experience trumps theory, every single time

  • @AnatomicalALIGNMENT

    I wish you peace and happiness.

    May there always be light on your path.

  • w8 in another video you said you dont eat seeds or nuts for your protein! So wat exactly are hemp seeds? not trollin just wonderin if you eat seeds or not?

  • Wow a good share of the female population views you as a romantic prospect from what I read here, lol I won't chase you for anything other than a good smoothie pinky swear! Oh mama mia so much knowledge I will put it to the BLENNDAAAA yaaaabbbbba

  • why don't you use the spine of the kale? Thank you for all you are doing!!!

  • SEXY, Informative & Funny,= Awesome. Are you single? lol. I was wondering if you know what you could replace the kale with? I cannot do kale as I did kale everyday and ended up with HUGE thyroid issues. What could you replace Kale with? Yourself or anyone on here - I am opened eared. I just want to skip all the food stuff and be a breatharian really lol - it ain't easy being human combining right carbs, seaweed, water, protein etc. lol. uggh! I still have not found balance. Challenging.

  • @GoddessRenata read the china study and anything from dr.mcdougall,esselsytn ,and dr.banard.

  • love love love your videos, happy to be introduced to you through Dan's recent video from the festival:)

  • You put in hempseed the complete protein. I thought you didn't eat protein 

  • @swoleneck There is protein in all fruits and vegetables. He doesn't eat animal products.

  • very useful information thank you!

  • Hello great tips and smoothie, but when you blend food doesnt it produce heat , and cook the food, and make it cooked, instead of raw?

  • From Running on Redbull to Running Raw - I sure feel better this way. Thanks Tim - you're an inspiration!

  • you remind me of the asshole brother who is in the real estate business from the movie stepbrothers. it's not that you seem like an asshole, it's that you have that suave smooth talking thing like him. lol

  • Whatever happened to this guy?

  • Smooooooth

  • lofl bro you made me fall on the floor your so funny bro "chew it then swallow" the expression on your face was hilarious" :)

  • Hey man i like to make this and when i put the water in i use Dr Willards Water ....

    My God this water fives you a kick !!!

  • i liked your video, so i subscribed.

    Hope you'll share more amazing recipes ^_^

  • One bananaaa :p

  • Apparently, I've been doing everything wrong.

  • hilarious, I enjoy his side notes! The only thing I would add is ionized filtered water...chew it ah ha. Rock star

  • tony hawk? lol:P

  • i dont get how guys like him can survive off hardly any calories. i need plenty of fat and proteins or i feel hungry all day. (i also do green shakes in the morning, and plenty of raw foods thru-out the day)

  • hehehe... like your simple recipe and pretty funny... laughed out loud which has been too often these days...

    thanks!

  • Re: well water & re-mineralizing water. I have been drinking filtered water since the tap water in LA tastes, like, so foul. Then I got this stuff called "ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops" to re-mineralize the water. It was inexpensive and seems like a good alternative if you don't have Vermont well water piped into your apartment building.

  • I just got a VitaMix (best kitchen appliance EVER!) and have been enjoying tons of smoothies and protein shakes. But I never heard of "chew your smoothie" before. But it makes a lot of sense. Of course! Maybe that's why my digestion has been all...awry...for the last week. I have been guzzling my creations instead of properly 'chewing' them for pre-digestion. I will definitely try this, and your recipe.

  • 4:11 hahaaa i love it!!! great video!

  • Looks like grey smoothie to me.

  • Would chia seeds do as a substitute for the hemp?

  • Thanks for the info! :)

  • Why do you not put the spin from the kale in your green smoothie

  • I'm going to avoid this recipe incase it makes me turn into someone as irritating as this guy.

    

  • You begun the video by saying: "so... today I'm gonna show you what I do after I wake up in the morning"..... phewwwwww... for a moment there I thought I'd stumbled upon a x rated video and you're gonna show us some self-love technique... lol

  • You just RUINED that smooth with that hard well water!!!! Ewwwww! you could use the Distilled or Alkaline water because your getting all the minerals from the Veggies in the smoothy.

  • @RomneyPHONY Waaah! Too late! Already ordered a new one from Amazon. Hasn't been shipped yet, but still. Oh well, should still be good. Hopefully. :-)

  • 4:08 to 4:20 Exactly! I don't know why everyone doesn't know that. Seriously. :-)

    Love your enthusiasm/pesonality. Good vid.

    I'm looking into getting a 'super-blender' with my tax return (either a vitamix or a blendtec). Been wanting to try a green smoothie for a couple years but any cheap blender I try simply doesn't work. I think I'm finally ready for an UPGRADE. :-)

  • Tim, I realize this is an old vid, but in future can you list your ingredients in the comment section for those of us coming back?

  • Hi, when I make this my green's don't blend, they just turn into little bits.

  • lol @ I'm not sure where you get the half of horse.

  • Protein sucks, but you use hempseed?

  • U Remind me of Sawn Spencer from cych

  • It's easy, you get half a horse by slicing a full grown horse in half whilst injecting the half a horse with Re-animator's "re-agent" serum into the brain and voila! Half a horse power.. Nice video! Love my green smoothies! mm mm MMMM! I'm disabled with Dystonia, meds don't do anything helpful so I decided to try and finagle with my diet..so far, I love the way they make me feel so hopefully, down the road, I'll be med free and mo bettah!

    xoxoxo

    - jess

  • @HeartOfAllThings no I actually didn't. I forgot about it actually. Didn't mean to offend... but man when I make a smoothie or even a green smoothie it's all about packing the fruit in there, cramming in some greens and adding a little water with no supplements. Eats like a meal...

  • You crack me up! Thanks for the video.

  • why do people say"like so" ? its really annoying and doesnt really make sense.

  • i perfer romaine lettuce

  • i am filling strange about yours bags.... 

  • This was entertaining, educational, and I just subbed you!

  • haha! cage free blueberries...

  • Thanks for the chewing tip ;D 

  • im getting right in in green smoothies i love it

  • I love your enthusiasm and personality! you're so passionate, and even if others don't agree with you, they should respect that. I LOVE green smoothiessssss

  • Tim, you contradict yourself with organic / inorganic minerals there: in hard water they are the same as in stones, aren't they?

  • finally somebody who understands organic chemistry!! Yes, plants can break down minerals, and make them absorbable for us to consume. He has done his homework.

  • thanks for the tips. im gonna try this,tim.

  • ...cage free? I didn't realize blueberries were grown (anywhere) in cages. Free-range? Isn't that how blueberries grown anyway? I'm from the south and they're all over the place, sorta like peacans, mulberries, and such...I'm new to this all, so I'm just learning, but all the extra adjectives tacked on to "organic" food makes me sorta suspicious of the hype...

  • Having said that I actually enjoyed the video...chew it, don't chug it.. How does this work with juicing--which I think my body prefers to smoothies.

  • Well Water?! Are you insane? I'm sorry, but I worked for the US EPA for a year and was ASTOUNDED by how unhealthy well water is :-((( Perhaps 150 years ago, but American soil quality is really poor and generally speaking, rural water is more dangerous than urban water, because it's tested less frequently, and well, manufactures and farmers think that 'noone is looking' --which is often true so they dump stuff in the water that would be more heavily regulated in urban areas! 

  • Just "play the percentages" and don't worry about the small stuff like chewing your drink. If you get too pedantic, most will grow weary of the whole-food thing and give up.

  • i have a hard physical job, and i will try this.

  • I don't understand your horse power explanation...lol

  • I just made this smoothie though I used spinach instead of kale, I also threw in chia seeds and used freshly squeezed apple juice. Very nice. Hope this helps me with my running.

  • Not all foods mentioned here suits everyone there are specific foods that benefit according to your blood type

  • hee hee....great video! :D So what is everyone using instead of Kale or spinach or any collard greens? I have a hypothyroid and those things are not good for me. What is a good substitute that is just as benificial health wise???

  • i wonder if this guy watches good eats...

  • i don't chew my smoothies, but i usually eat some fruit while i'm drinking it. same concept - produces saliva.

  • cool! I'll try it.

    Thanks

  • In your protein myth video you said you dont eat nuts or seeds In this video you are eating hemp seeds , how do you get enough calories everyday eating raw without starving your body for energy ? The raw diet seems healthy besides my miss understanding of how you give you body enough calories to keep you healthy. Most active people need around 1800 calories a day so how are you getting them threw just fruit and vegies.

  • this guy pisses me off so much ...

  • @Greenmin5 why..lol

  • @misseptember cause he says people don't need protein, like honestly. wtf.

  • @Greenmin5 no of cours you need building blocks for the whole body, but he simply means that it is often overrated, specially for every normal modern guy and girl who dont physically work that much, then he goes on sayins that your better of eating amino acids, which is what proteins are made of(broken down), which are all in fruits and vegstable, specially dark green ones, to built your own high quality tissue, instead of eating meat for example, which are already proteins structures.

  • @Greenmin5 calm down. you'll be alright.

  • I estimated based on what you put in there and it looks like it's about 260 to 270 calories for the whole thing. I have to say that is no where near enough food for a meal for a regular person let alone an athlete. You're going to be eating all day with meals that small. Try an 8 banana smoothie with some greens and have way more energy.

  • Tim how many calories is this? This is one of the sparsest green smoothies I've ever seen. There isn't even 2 servings of fruit in it. And you need energy for running don't you? This is not really enough for a meal for a woman let alone a fully active man.

  • @VeronicaGrace1 Totally... did u get any reply from this?

  • @VeronicaGrace1 Hi Veronica, this is a green smoothie not a fruit smoothie

  • @Semimaru A Green smoothie is a fruit smoothie with greens added. Victoria Boutenko invented it. It uses fruit to sweeten and for calories, greens are added so you can get more in your diet without having to chew them and the fruit masks the flavour. Greens have almost no calories, seaweed has almost no calories. Athletes need carbohydrates to burn as fuel. You can only get sufficient carbs from fruit on a raw vegan diet. There is no other option.

  • @VeronicaGrace1 It's hardly fair to say she invented it, maybe you heard about it from her :P I don't really understand your reply. Your initial comment was what was up with this green smoothie commenting the fruit was low. I said it wasn't a fruit smoothie hence the lack of fruit.

    No need to rant or preach, I eat a high carb raw vegan diet.

  • @Semimaru Not sure you read Green For Life..., but Victoria talks about concocting it. Back when she had a regular blender. Back then everyone knew about the energy soup from Ann Wigmore using greens, sprouts and a little apple blended. It tasted awful and Victoria was trying to find a way to get more greens in without having to chew so many heads. She blended greens by themselves and couldn't stomach it. She took a chance on adding bananas and tried it again and has been teaching it since

  • Gold medal? Green Medal? You know your stuff! And your very funny! :)

    What do you think about oxidation? I think using a juicer makes no sense... but I heard if you blend to long you lose fibra and also you kill the fruit? An its best to only blend for like 10-20seconds? Do you agree with this or do you think its a load of half a horse? 

  • @TheaDragonSpirit - Never mind I found this video and you answered all my questions in this video :) Great stuff thanks a lot for sharing this info... :) watch?v=Rm3-R1y6oOU

  • short and to the point, good video.

  • will raw foods make you just lose weight without hitting the gym for like 10hours a day? Do you still need to workout to lose weight... or is it enough to eat smoothies all day?

  • @delatroy You need to exercise on EVERY diet. There's no 'magic' diet that will keep you healthy. Sure, you can lose weight on a raw food diet, but it's much healthier to add exercise onto that :)

  • you are killing me man!! ahahahaha 

  • What is the really important last step to do before you stop blending? It was impossible to hear you while the blender was running.

  • @TshaFromTWest that was the whole joke

  • @TshaFromTWest lol.. YEA. wtf.

  • Plastic blender?- no thanx

  • funny and helpful.

  • @amirprog

    get this blender cheap on Ebay !

  • ur so cute!!

  • It's greeple!! lol

  • So, do you do nutritional consultations? I've been mostly raw for about a year now and I have come across some difficulties with digestion and low thyroid. I can't have too many goitrogenic foods. I want to do the green smoothies but am very limited. I would love to hear your opinion.

  • You're so funny and inspiring. And you're the most positive person I've ever seen.

  • hah hah! :D youre awesome dude

  • Thanks for an entertaining way to learn about getting all the benefits from a healthy smoothie. I didn't know about the chewing part. :)

  • Thank you Tim! This is a fun and informative video! And you are a huge source of encouragment to someone (me) who is battling depression. I first found your videos about a year ago and jumped up and told my husband you have got to come see this guy's videos! Thank you so much for putting yourself out there and extending hope.

  • How long will it live for while you take the time to chew it? 

  • Drink it fast and take enzymes!!!! Problem solved! lol

  • About the water thing...I'd rather not have fluoride in my water. "natural" water is spring water, it has a ppm of like <50 or something. water is just water, i'm NOT drinking it to get vitamins and nutrients because it's not rich in those things lol. That'd be like me eating potato chips to get my protein. Makes no sense. Also, that blender probably got pretty heated, destroying nutrients. I'll be investing in a slow juicer

    I hate "eating" my smoothies bc unfortunately saliva tastes gross :)

  • you are so funny ! I like u a LOT!

  • maybe next time use the kale stems....it;s bitter, but think about it ,the water in the stems have nutrients...

  • change

  • What do you say about not mixing fruit and vegetables? 

  • Nice! And I love the accent at the beginning lol. Russian??

  • haha "if your gonna eat rocks your gonna probably die"

  • LOL, he reminds me of Ben Stiller. Anyone else?

  • WAKEY WAKEY

  • hahaha " if you eat rocks, you'll probably die. but if you eat plants who eat rocks...." lol

    love it

  • Cage-free blueberries lol :) BTW why do they sound like rocks? Are they frozen? or it's just tough to be organic and wild? :) BTW your kale looks like somebody was munching on it for a week LOL :P OH never mind I see why now. The kale you showed is what was left off it after you put it in a blender haha My bad :) Good vid, Thumbs up. :)

  • What is "free trade" certified mean?

  • Nice stuff man...funny too. I'm gonna subscribe to your channel/

  • Ha, this is so funny! And informative. =]

    It's funny, I find that I chew my smoothies without even realizing, I just sort of do it. Guess it's a good habit that I don't realize I'm doing! =D

  • funny guy

    i like him

  • What if someone is blood sugar sensitive? This shake won't fly.

  • This was worth it just to learn why I should chew my smoothies. Sweet!

  • mineral water? but ITS NOT ORGANIC... just like you said?

  • Why do you take the kale leafs off the spine?

  • @huntsmanschool Just guessing but maybe to make it easier on the blender. That and the stems probably don't blend really well for a smoothie again because they are tough.

  • At 3:45 you talk about the minerals in hard well water as being good. Hardness/minerals in water comes from dissolving stone that the water has come into contact with. Is that not INorganic minerals? Doesn't that go completely against what you were preaching from 1:00-1:30?

  • @dirtyc Good point. You seem to be the only other person that has noticed that this guy contradicts himself.

  • @dirtyc - Look I been watching many videos reading loads of stuff... there is going to be times where you say something that contradicts something else mostly because there is so much shite out there and its hard to know whats correct and whats not correct. However I have seen many water experts say they like to make sure the water is minerilesed because they believe that disttiled water would suck the minerals out of the body. Am pretty sure if you try swallow a big rock you could die! haha

  • Looks great. Nice shirt too:)

  • Chew a dick mate!!

  • what if we cant afford organic bananas and free range blue berries?

  • @zombia12 I hear ya...so much preaching about eating fresh, eating organic, but what about us poor saps that can't afford it. Believe me, I would in a second but my wallet won't allow it.

  • @Nubster12 haha yea the organic stuff is preeety pricey.

  • @zombia12 then buy 10 bags of doritos and have fun. take his advice or leave it, just don't ask him to buy you dinner and be your baby daddy. take some responsibility with your life.

  • I do not think you need 3.5HP to blend bananas.

  • @Safet hahaha!

  • Too Funny...I love it

  • excellent, first time I have a got a full run down of green smoothies...without a hippy attitude :D LOL

  • You're funny and intelligent.

  • i like you, "i say tomato you say tomato" haha <3

  • hahaha you're so funny!

  • This guy is a fucking retard. "Organic sodium" What a dunce.

  • @brycejtaylor - Its organic salt... Whats hard to understand? You get salt from water you place it on the ground to let it dry... you get organic salt... haha or does that slip by you... research organic sea salt! Thats organic sodium! Numb nuts!

  • good thing i can read lips.........

  • very nice but would you brush your teeth before or after chewing on fruits both right after and before bed?

  • Great Vid...Thanks! I am starting a green smoothie fast tomorrow and will be documenting on my blog, so I will be watching videos this eve for inspiration.

  • haha Greeple! I'm New to all of this stuff and So Far I have lost 20lbs on a Low G.I.
