Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 My children love the following veggie juice: carrots, kale, and cucumber blended in the VitaMix with water until smooth. My 2 year old often BEGS for more!!! - liz bruce Sunday, March 12, 2006 8:01 PM Re: Digest Number 1384 raw beets are a great addition to smooties, and they turn the smoothie bright purple, even if the smoothie is green, which mine always are, because i always add lots of dark leafy greens to my smoothies. my basic smoothie: 1 banana, handful of organic mesculin mix (baby greens), soymilk. i usually add 2-4 heaping Tbs. hemp hearts to it as well, especially when i'm giving it to my son who's 18 mos. hemp hearts have omega 3 and omega 6 (and protein) which are essential for growing kids. another good smoothie if you want it all raw (i.e. without soy or rice milk) is 1 apple, 1 banana, handful of greens (can use mesculin mix, spinach, kale, etc.), 1 stalk of celery + water. you can add hemp seeds, beets, spirulina, etc. to most smooties. i find bananas are a really good base. if you need more sweetness, grapes are perfect. carrots can make smoothies pulpy, but you could add carrot juice. liz wrote: There are 2 messages in this issue.

You can also add some juice concentrate along with soy or rice milk and more juice, to add more flavor and hide the veggies. The kale smoothie sounds good. I will have to try it. Good luck!
