Start from there! (You sure do know a lot of green smoothie cookbook authors!)<br /><br />Unknown, thanks for the tip. Since I've been drinking them at least 5 days/week, all suggestions are welcome.Abby Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060920122127099172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710373573705518216.post-35389682221138730052013-07-21T16:52:46.386-07:002013-07-21T16:52:46.386-07:00I am so jealous of your vitamix!!

I make a mild not green "green" smoothie that will win you over- use a frozen banana if you want (i hate them and don't), plus frozen blueberries, big handful of spinach, almond milk, a date if you omit the banana, a gob of almond butter (prob a big tablespoon) and a few ice cubes. Its a dark blue-ish color and taste mostly of almond butter. <br />TtrockwoodUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663703136044038950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710373573705518216.post-48052738818497958132013-07-21T14:40:17.445-07:002013-07-21T14:40:17.445-07:00Perfect timing for me to read that YOU are drinkin...Perfect timing for me to read that YOU are drinking green smoothies. A while ago someone asked me to review her green smoothie book and I politely declined, saying I couldn't get my head around green smoothies. I eat and love tons of green veggies, and I drink green juices on occasion — but green smoothies — ugh. <br /><br />So yesterday someone I know asked if I'd review her new cookbook. I knew she was high-raw, vegan and GF, and I said sure, so she got a book out of her car trunk and gave it to me. I didn't realize it was a green smoothie book but, for various reasons, it was too late to back down. Maybe it will be OK. I mean, if you can do it, I can too, right?Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710373573705518216.post-15670907833928421012013-07-19T13:28:21.365-07:002013-07-19T13:28:21.365-07:00Pecan, I would never do that to you: I won't l...Pecan, I would never do that to you: I won't let you down.Abby Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060920122127099172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710373573705518216.post-91779073751192434862013-07-19T12:58:10.556-07:002013-07-19T12:58:10.556-07:00This cleanse isn't going to be going on tomorr...This cleanse isn't going to be going on tomorrow is it??PecanSanjnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710373573705518216.post-83986235773255845272013-07-19T09:16:01.102-07:002013-07-19T09:16:01.102-07:00Olivia- it was restaurant quality!

Seriously try that mint one; I don't even have cacao nibs and it's great on it's own. The cleanse had a revolving cycle. It went from 30 days to 7, to 5, to 12 and counting. I did have a slice of pizza and a cookie (ok, 2) on day 6, but other than that it's been smooth sailing. Or, shall I say, clean eating.Abby Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060920122127099172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710373573705518216.post-82451503654127992612013-07-18T20:06:39.076-07:002013-07-18T20:06:39.076-07:00Doing cleanses with a friend DEFINITELY make them ...Doing cleanses with a friend DEFINITELY make them easier. I ought to do another one soon.<br />I love berbere; I'm sure the soup was wonderful.<br />There are a lot of great green smoothies out there. IF I may, the Rising Sun smoothie I (used to) make is really delicious, though maybe spirulina isn't for the anti-green smoothiesters. The Nava Atlas pineapple one sounds great, the mint chip one does as well.<br />Also, I love those marys gone crackers but I usually buy the black pepper ones, which wouldn't help quench with the heat.<br />How long was the cleanse for?foodfeudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589414740603993442noreply@blogger.com
