Guest guest Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I love using coconut milk to make smoothies. I just put about a half cup or so of coconut milk in the blender with some frozen fruit, usually strawberries, wild blueberries, and raspberries. I like mango and banana, but the histamine levels prevent me from enjoying them too often. Strawberries can provoke a reaction, too. Darn naturally high histamine foods! As an aside, I know some vegans don't use honey and some do, but those of us with severe atopy often can't do the immunotherapy or homeopathy thing--local honey and bee pollen can make us much worse. ygg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 When I read that a smoothie is made 60% fruit and 40% greens, what does that really mean? Does it mean by volume with the greens smashed down into a cup or is it by weight or?? thanks Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Here's a great green smoothie website with wonderful recipes for green smoothies. http://www.greensmoothiechallenge.com If you sign up for the green smoothie challenge, they'll send you a different recipe each day for two weeks and they have a bunch o' info. on green smoothiness in general. I was listening to an interview with Victoria Boutenko on YouTube the other day, she was talking about green smoothies. The idea she was getting across wasn't so much 40% green in your smoothie, so much as using it as a vehicle to make sure that you get 40% of your daily diet in greens. I'll see if I can relocate that link So what I've been doing with green smoothies is 2 cups filtered H2O, two very large handfulls of assorted greens (usually spinach, chard, collard greens, some parsley etc... making sure to change it up for variety on different days). I blend that well, then add assorted fruits till the blender is full. Cheers!
