Hmm..I like to cook my collard greens, never imagined eating them raw. I bet you do feel great in the morning. That sounds like a powerful concoction. Why do you put in a frozen banana?
I bet if I ate like this everyday, I'd be skin and bones.[/b]
yeah, it does make you feel good and clean. the frozen banana is a thickener. i used to use soymilk instead of water, but i cut that out b/c i was trying to space out my calcium sources. plus it was a waste of soymilk if using water tasted just as good.the self is...the most puzzling puzzle with which psychology has to deal.--william james

I guess my mango wasn't ripe enough, because all I could taste was the parsley. ughhh. I chugged it because I wasn't going to waste all those greens.
I ate lunch, fish and a little rice, I don't need as much carbs to feel full anymore. Got home, made the one I know I will enjoy, romaine-strawberry-banana, and I did.
I can say you'll never feel hungry drinking this stuff. I am full the entire day.

I have started making green smoothies at least 3 times a week. I just add a handful or two of spinach to mine. I use strawberries, peaches bananas, spurilina, ice, apple juice, and a little soy milk. I really do enjoy them. I just need to try to try other greens now. I know by the time summer comes I will be doing smoothies everyday .

I've been buying bags of mixed frozen fruit and using that and a banana with a cup of spinach and water. I'm really liking it so far. I'm trying to replace at least one meal with a smoothie instead.

Hmmm... so I am doing Parastroy w/ restricted diet and have limited options for breakfast. Green Smoothies sound perfect!
Could you all post some more recipes? There are not a lot of recipes in google, that I could find.FKA: Kayday23

The last week or so I've been downing smoothies as my first meal. For some reason, I'm shy to make them in public, so far I wasn't spied....till this morning.
The guy was like...wow...what's going on here and asked me if I was drinking lettuce. I said no. He shut up. I'm thinking to myself, dude I'm not even commenting on you and your two kinds of coffee...get off my back.
Mines have been fairly elaborate...I can cut the soy milk to save some calories, but it tastes so yummy
I eyeball it the portion sizes:
scoop of protein powder
few spoonfuls of non fat vanilla yogurt
glob of honey
couple ounces of vanilla soy milk
couple ounce of OJ (left that out today and it was even creamier)
2 handfuls of spinach
spirulina
wheat germ
ground flax
and a 'nana
handful of berries (or any fruit)
That's the staples. Today I had a frozen banana, mine were ripening too quick and some frozen peaches...it was soooooooooo good. I left out the spinach, having gone overboard a few times it was a bit bitter. I think I'm going to stick to one handful. The first time I made it w/spinach I was so scared to drink it *shiver*
Last week, I had some overripe fruit I tossed it all in, strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, banana, spinach...the smoothie went beyond green and it was gritty as I don't know what, I'd drink some, then I'd chew some...lol...but it really was good.
I'll keep doing the soy till I'm done, then I have powdered nonfat milk, less calories, then I'll do powdered soymilk and finally edge into water."Don't ever let somebody tell you, you can't do something...You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you, you can't do it. You want something, go get it. Period." - Will Smith - The Pursuit of Happyness
