Smoothie WARS - Spinach Orange Elixir

[stabilisedchaos]

citrus fruit seeds even in small quantities are very poisonous,just a small amount can damage your liver and kill you,you should remove the seeds.

[frugalnanny]

where are you now in your journey?

what about the seeds?

[analphabetik]

i always wonder why all smoothies i see on internet are "super sized" :

2 orange, 2 cup of water 100+gr of spinach..... is that because you need to take this much or it s just for recording need??? when i do at home i use half ( or less) of typical internet portion.....

[TheLoserKingdom]

Wow, so the Vitamix can handle a whole orange too?

[zestrus11]

[SnakeCharmer07]

[Essensual1]

Okay. My turn,my turn! Here's what I've been juicing for the past 2 wks or so:

1 cup raw kale, 1 grapefruit, 1 orange, 1 apple, (1) 1 inch by 1 inch piece of peeled ginger root, 1 lemon (or lime), 1piece of pineapple.

Now, since I'm juicing there is no pulp to speak of but that is a personal preference. I drink this over ice. Pure yumminess!

P.S. You crack me up, too....stinging nettles. HA!

[yardsnacker]

lol sounds great essensual1!!!

[xmantidx]

Sweet vid! Thrive asked the question that had been on my mind about the smoothie vs. elixir question. I think it's a neat term , words are funny though...

Smoothie: sounds simple and uncomplicated

Elixir: sounds like it's time to put away the vita-mix and bust out the centrifuge *lol*

I like the whole idea of simple formulas though makes food prep easier and faster!

As always you rock Sam!

[yardsnacker]

Dude, you rock, seriously. Word are fun, and I love them.  Your interpretation would make a hilarious video. So bring it! Smoothies vs. Elixir's! :) I really enjoy people like you who take the time to let me and others know how you feel in a positive way. Thanks bro.

[hihorosie]

I agree that elixir is an appropriate name for a superfood smoothie in it's simplest form. Smoothies tend to be more of a production with all the ingredients and powders, etc.. Thanks for sharing - both informative and entertaining as always! The music was awesome! "Ahhhh...."

[SilverSurvivalKit]

I always think of smoothies as having a dairy component such as ice cream, milk, yogurt.

Elixir seems much more appropriate category for all of the superfood raw blender recipes that I've seen Raw foodists put up on YouTube.

Awesome video!! 5 Stars!!

[thrivesurvive]

what's the difference between an elixer and a smoothie? i would have called what you made a green smoothie. "elixer" sounds so very fancy, important and medicinal.

[yardsnacker]

ThriveSurvive, let's start over k?

..just to clarify what David Wolfe said, was that we needed to move away from the idea of smoothies since they are so complicated they really don't fit the definition of a smoothie and most people don't think of smoothies in the same way raw foodists do. He suggested using the word elixir which I happily agreed was a great idea. I am taking it a step further and clarifying my idea which I think is pretty good! But hey, its ALL GOOD! (((thrivesurvive)))

[thrivesurvive]

That meakse sense. Most people think of smoothies as something containing dairy, and DW really does get complicated with his smoothies. It really is alchemy the way he does it. Yours looks really good. Rawmodel has some really good smoothie videos out now too. I guess they would fall into the "elixer" catagory. I always think of "elixers" as something you drink to become immortal or something. I guess that makes it a perfect term because they are so life-giving and healthy.

[yardsnacker]

Thanks thrivesurvive! I think you are right about that. Just having fun here! :D U RAWK!
