How you & your green smoothie can become lovers for life!

You can't change a man but you *can* change a green smoothie. The first one I ever made was horrendous ... now I feel like I'm drinking an ice cream shake ... seriously! These are my tips. (Scott Brandon Hoffman come get me! ;)

I now love green smoothies, not because I'm a changed woman (becoming happy with gagging down a miserable mess in a cup) but because my smoothie is a changed smoothie.

Love you Sallie! :) Your info is *perfect* and I'm really looking forward to finding the chia seeds you mentioned. I didn't realize they were flavorless... I love discovering new things, don't you? So happy to hear all of your suggestions ... Go, Sallie, Go! :) So happy to see you here by the way ... two escaped BLC'ers lol! xoxo

I am not such a raw food purist so I also use organic rice milk as my base instead of water. I've never frozen my bananas but sometimes I do throw in some frozen strawberries, raspberries or blueberries. For a real kick I add a few raw chocolate beans....yep...I LOVE my green smoothies and always start my day with one and often end the day with one too.

Love you, Col

the indians used to chew 1 tsp chia while running from arizona to calif and thus didn't need to eat or drink for long spells because chia helps preserve water in your body as well. I also put in a tbls of almond butter,banana, sometimes orange or tangerine juice, a dab of umeboshi paste which is very alkaline and of course leafy greens of some sort...spinach is also my favorite.

Here's something I love to add to my smoothie...chia seeds..they are a powerhouse of nutrition..Omega3 & 6, protein, vitamin & minerals...and..and..and..and they are absolutely neutral in taste. Soak 2 Tbs chia in a cup of water and this makes a cup of gel (which you can keep up to 2 wks in the fridge..but I guarantee you they wont be around that long!). Add 1-2 Tbs gel to your smoothie..this will help to burn the carbs at a slow rate which will keep your blood sugar level up for a long time...

Hi Col...I love my green smoothies too...I'll tell ya why the protein powder is controversial though..it ain't raw! And green smoothies were born and raised in the raw foods community...to b continued...
