smoothies

[Guest guest]

Hello all. I just thought I would report on my vita-mix smoothie progress. At

first when my vita-mix came, I tried a smoothie recipe from Victoria Boutenko's

Ode to Green Smoothies article. It was 4 pears, three sticks of celery and a

bunch of parsely. First of all, it was way too much. I didn't like it very much.

It had lots of bits of stuff in it too which I kept having to spit out,

(celery). Next I tried another one without much success. I forget the details.

But today, Eureka! I hit upon it. I made my usual traditional smoothie, almonds

water bananas dates and berries. I lowered the nut content and added some dark

but small kale leaves. Not too many, just a few. It tasted great. I could not

really taste the kale but felt good that I was getting some greens.

I have evolved away from the nut butter I had every day for lunch with my

apple(s). Sometimes I have another smoothie. Also I have avocado's a lot less.

The pounds are starting down again too. So I guess all is going well.

One more thing. I play scrabble and can't remember all those funny little

words. But lately I seem to be remembering a lot more of them. Must be enhanced

mental clarity due to raw food.

Thank you all for being part of this group. I appreciate all the input here.
