Re: 1st Green Smoothie for lunch

Hello Sparky ;-)You have no idea how much I LOVE to read "testimonials" like this! This machine can change your life (well, it can be a tool that YOU use to change your life :-) and I get such a rush each and every time I read that someone else has had a positive experience with the Vitamix machine.Thanks again for sharing - I'm sure that your post inspires others!!!Glad that you de-stemmed the Kale - until a person gets used to the "bitterness" in Greens, taking off the stem off of Kale and Collards helps reduce the bitterness factor by a lot.

I am so excited and wanted to share this.

Love my vitamix! I did go to a dietician a few years ago and when we went over my eating habits I did learn I was eating too much fruit and not enough protein. Therefore, I try to be very careful now so that I do not gain weight back.

Anyway, I just had my first green smoothie with 1 tablespoon flax meal, 3/4 cup pinapple with core, 4 baby carrots, some plain cottage cheese @ 4tablespoons, 1 inch of ginger root,the leafy section of 1 stalk of Kale a few ice cubes and a little water. Honesty it was the first time I ever used kale and still do not know what it tastes like. But the best part was that my husband actually had a glass of it and liked it!

That sounds good! You can also add 1/2 cup of white beans (any kind) for protein. You won't even know they are in the smoothie! Lorihttp://lifeontheveganedge.blogspot.com/ From: "sparky_89_99@..." <sparky_89_99@...> Sent: Saturday, January 7, 2012 12:53 PM Subject: 1st Green Smoothie for lunch

sounds tasty, I've not used pineapple yet, just so messy to cut up but I love it.

My smoothie for breakfast was fresh tomatoes, celery, turnip greens, a beet and a teaspoon of Better than Bullion Beef flavor and some pepper. Was like a Virgin . Soooo good. I love my VitaMix. Best thing I've bought for myself.

Lori,Thanks for that tip! Sometimes I throw in Greek yogurt or a handful of raw almonds, but I never even considered white beans! Great idea. I find that it’s helpful to add a protein booster to the fruity smoothies. My kids don’t get hungry as quickly when I do.
