NWR: Green smoothies

Can I just say how much I love these things!

I love drinking my veggies, it's so much better than a salad! I love adding a ton of spinach with pears or peaches, fresh squeezed orange juice and strawberries or blueberries in the summer.

The best part is if you make enough it will last from breakfast straight through till lunch time!

Anyone else obsessed with these? or ever tried them? lol

If so, please post recipes!

My favorite:

5-6 cups fresh spinach
Juice from 2 oranges
1-2 bananas
2 handfuls of strawberries
1-2 peaches
1 teaspoon of agave or cinnamon

Puree till completely smooth and enjoy!

is that like a meal replacement?

You have these smoothies for a meal?

Usually, yeah.

I did a raw food diet for a couple months last summer and I loved it. (And lost SO much weight.) This is one of the breakfasts that stuck with me.

Depending on how much fruit you add they can be anywhere from 300-600 calories. If you have mostly veggies then it's way less calories. The fruity ones are definitely on the high end, but they are all good calories so drink away!

Never tried them...
I guess i have something to try on later one...
Dunno if i woudl liek it but i would try it!
