I love smoothies, but have gotten away from them about 6 months of going mostly raw. My daughter is turned off to them now since I went smoothie crazy at first. I didn’t know it took away the sweet tooth, I’m gonna have to pay attention next time. It definitely doesn’t work when I eat a salad, which is mostly what I eat. My brain immediately wants something sweet! Thank goodness for the dates in the freezer Great article for those who don’t know you can get the greens and have it taste so good.

I really like lemon and spinach slushies with stevia. I have never seen a recipe for this, but have have very picky people do a blind taste test and like it!

Awesome article! I can vouch for the goodness of pond scum smoothies!! One raw meal a day sounds like a good idea already…

Yes, go crazy with the green smoothies!

My all time favorite is spinach, frozen bananas, orange, cacao nibs, raisins and a dash of cayenne if you feel so inclined. An asian pear/chard/mint combo rocks the party as well.

Happy Blending!

I’ve been drinking green smoothies for years and I LOVE them! My formula is this:

Ice
Banana
protein powder – I like Spirutein chocolate, vanilla, or banana flavors
big tablespoon (or 2!) of peanut butter
dash of cinnamon
dash of almond or vanilla extract
Huge handfuls of spinach, kale, or swiss chard
cup of “milk” – my current favorites are So Delicous coconut milk or my own homemade vanilla almond milk

Throw all into the blender and whirl away.
Ready in about 3 minutes from start to end!

My vices are chocolate and carbs. I need more fruits and veggies in my life. You’ve inspired me to have a salad today.

Cool article.
I’ve just begun doing some experimenting on my own with organic smoothies. Never realized how much fun it could be:)

Fun article! I usually make my green smoothies more complicated than the recipe above. Also enjoy yoga as much as my healthy living habits. Currently attempting to give up sugar.
