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.

@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. :-)

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.

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.

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