hi , im interested in purchasing the vita-mix. how much is it? is it better than montel williams lifemixer? pls reply. thanks

[GreenMomZoe]

@ghe422 please email me at greenmomzoe[@]gmail.com so I can give you more details on purchasing the Vitamix.

I don't allow anything to go to waist, don't know why people take the s tems out, the stems don't do anything to my vitamix, guess I am use to the fiber cause that don't do anything to me either. I wish I could have tried that smoothie also. Continue to do your greem smoothie thing.

[GreenMomZoe]

@Shaudu1 I would juice the stems but not blend them. They are too fibrous for me. I guess it depends on one's taste.

Hi Zoe! Do you think you could use water/coconut water kefir for the smoothie?

[GreenMomZoe]

@tattooyu You definitely can use water kefir and I have tried it. It has a slightly tart taste. You can also add some of your extra kefir grains. Try it and see what you think.

I looked on your blog but could find the chart with the different greens and fruit combinations. Can you give a link to click? thank you.

awesome Zoe. . .it must be working for you, cuz you look amazing. mark must be happy! hehe btw papaya has great digestive enzymes. and always use a lid on your vita-mix. some day you will flip it on when the selector is forgotten on high (i did). it'll trow the stuff all over the ceiling! haha also u prolly know, but rice protein is NOT a complete protein. if u don't combine it well, it doesn't do much for u. take care!

@ghe422 Vitamix is better. I spent around $400.00 at Costco. They are only there once in a while. Montel Williams lifemixer is made in China and everyone I know who tried to order, always had messages it was on backorder. Vitamix is made in USA and is awesome!!! I know a lot of people who have one and LOVE IT.

Question... if you do happen to mix acid fruit with sweet fruit, would a digestive enzyme help? thx

What does your son eat, its so hard to get children to eat vegetables, does he have a special diet?

[r70stunna]

On your chart you say not to mix apples and mangos becauses one in a acid fruit and one is a sweet fruit. But in this video you mixed both of them into the drink. Does adding acid fruits ans sweet fruits really hurt the nutrient intake. Im so confused! Please respond!

@GreenMomZoe I am a student so i am on the go would it take away from the vitamins if I used frozen fruit? I have seen frozen foods get more sophisticated and can avoid presugared frozen fruit. Its just realistically I know I wont be able to stick to the diet if I have to cut my fruit for breakfast and lunch. :P

great information, thanks much

[loui0008]

thank you for the recipe - sounds great - will try it!

[Eric187iscool]

Thank you so much. I didn't know anything about the whole different food thing.

[TheBadAssKiller]

I was told NEVER to mix greens with fruits! What's the deal there?
