Oh, green smoothies!!! Me too!!! I have a green smoothie every day! I love them! Yum yum!
I vary the greens - Victoria Boutenko says different greens have different nutrients as well as acids so it's important to vary them. I vary the fruit according to what's in season. I usually add a handful of frozen blueberries and/or raspberries and/or frozen bananas, to avoid using ice and watering it down.
It's a great way to get our fruits and veggies, it's filling enough to make a complete meal, and it's great for kids! I wish I had known about green smoothies when my child was little.
Eddie, I just planted a fall garden. What kinds of greens do you grow? I'm in a warmer climate though, in Texas. The bugs just ate all my lettuce plants.
I still have spinach, chard, and cabbage though. And of course bountiful wild greens like dandelions.
