Smoothie Question

[Guest guest]

I have been making my " morning smoothies " everyday in my blender - and these are

the ingredients that I use:

 

BANANAS - always my " base "

 

ANY AND ALL VARIETIES OF FRESH FRUIT - with the exception of citrus fruits; I

find that when made in my blender, the citrus fruits have a tendency to clog up

my straw, lol, so I don't use them in smoothies.

 

ICE CUBES WITH ADDED COLD WATER - I have found that to get the " right "

consistancy that I am after, I need to add a bit of cold water, with the ice

cubes.

 

A COUPLE OF " LARGE HANDFULS " OF MIXED GREENS & VEGIES - What I do is just use my

daily salad mix that I have made up; which consists of a large variety of mixed

greens, and vegies that I have tossed in to keep the greens company; mostly

green vegetables of one sort or another.

 

Thats it! My question is, does this seem like the appropriate/healthful way

that is recommended to make smoothies? I was just making only fruit smoothies,

but when I read about green smoothies being so beneficial, I started adding

greens and other suitable vegies, such as brocolli, etc.

 

It still seems " weird " to me to be mixing in the greens with the fruit, but from

what I have recently read in my Raw Groups, is that this is fine to do. (I had

been hung-up on what I had previously read about NOT mixing fruits with

vegies/greens, Etc.)

 

I have found that since I started making my smoothies GREEN, that I like them

even better, and that is what I have begun to CRAVE in the mornings now!

 

It can all be so confusing, and I would like to know that what I am doing is

fine; or if there is something that I should change, I would like to know that

too.

 

Thanks for any feedback!
