    Green Smoothies

    (a friend emailed this to me today....looks good)

    A favorite recipe:
    ? 4 ripe pears
    ? 1 bunch of parsley
    ? 1 big cup of water
    Blended well - This smoothie looks very green, but it
    tastes like fruit.

    ? I like green smoothies so much that I bought an
    extra blender and placed it in my office, so that I could
    make green smoothies throughout the day.
    ? More than half of all the food I?ve had in last several
    months have been green smoothies.
    ? I have so much more energy and clarity that I have
    removed green juices from my diet. (Juicing has been
    something that I?ve been doing regularly for years.)

    Green smoothies have numerous benefits for human
    health.
    1. Green smoothies are very nutritious. I believe that the
    ratio in them is optimal for human consumption:
    about 60% - ripe organic fruit mixed
    With about 40% - organic green vegetables
    2. Green smoothies are easy to digest.
    When blended well, all the valuable nutrients in these
    fruits and veggies become homogenized
    1 a : to blend (diverse elements) into a uniform mixture b
    : to make homogeneous
    2 a : to reduce to small particles of uniform size and
    distribute evenly usually in a liquid b : to reduce the
    particles of so that they are uniformly small and evenly
    distributed; specifically : to break up the fat globules of
    (milk) into very fine particles
    Or divided into such small particles that it becomes easy
    for the body to assimilate these nutrients.
    The green smoothies literally start to get absorbed in your
    mouth.
    3. Green smoothies, as opposed to juices, are a complete
    food because they still have fiber.
    4. Green smoothies belong to the most palatable dishes for
    all humans of all ages.
    With a ratio of fruits to veggies as 60:40 the fruit taste
    dominates the flavor.
    Yet at the same time the green vegetables balance out the
    sweetness of the fruit, adding nice zest to it.
    Green smoothies are simply the best tasting dishes for the
    majority of adults and children.
    I always make extra smoothie and offer it to my friends
    and customers.
    Some of them eat a standard American diet.
    They all finished their big cup of green smoothies with
    complements.
    They were quite surprised that something so green could
    taste so nice and sweet.
    5. By consuming two or three cups of green smoothies
    daily
    You will consume enough of greens for the day to nourish
    your body, and they will be well assimilated.
    Many people do not consume enough of greens, even those
    who stay on a raw food diet.
    The molecule of chlorophyll has only one atom that makes
    it different from a molecule of human blood.
    According to teachings of Dr. Ann Wigmore, to consume
    chlorophyll is like receiving a healthy blood transfusion.
    6. Green smoothies are
    Easy to make, and quick to clean up after
    Many people told me that they do not consume green
    juices on a regular basis because
    o it is time consuming to prepare green juices
    o and clean the equipment after juicing
    o Or to drive to the juice bar
    7. Green smoothies are
    Perfect food for children of all ages,
    Including babies of six or more months old when
    introducing new food to them after mother?s milk
    Of course you have to be careful and slowly increase the
    amount of smoothies to avoid food allergies.
    8. When
    You consume your greens in the form of green smoothies,
    You can greatly reduce the consumption of oils and salt in
    your diet.
    9. Regular consumption of Green smoothies forms a good
    habit of eating greens.
    Several people told me that after a couple of weeks of
    drinking green smoothies, they started to crave and enjoy
    eating more greens.
    Eating enough of green vegetable is often a problem with
    many people, especially in children.
    10. Green smoothies can easily be freshly made at any
    juice bar, restaurant or health food store for the great
    convenience of health-oriented customers.

          Det - you've answered my question before I even asked it. I was gonna ask the MWO population what to use for my smoothie while I'm doing a brief low-carb stint. I usually use blueberries. But ya know what... this might work for me! I LOVE green things, and leaves are my all time fave food.

                        This needed a bump and I bought some green tea powder when in florida this spring to add to the smoothies I make.

                        I usually use a juicer when doing green stuff like parsley now.

                            I'm not sure Lucky -- it's new to SA.
                            Here's the blurb on the packet...

                            It is an ancient Peruvian superfood which was traded as a currency in ancient times.
                            Maca is a powdered root herb from the Peruvian Andes, related to the radish family. It is called an adaptogen, meaning that it helps the body to adapt to increased stressors. It energises the system, building strength and stamina.
                            Maca is well known as a hormone balancer and helps to regulate PMS.
                            Because of it's oxygenating effect on the blood, maca has also gained a reputation for being a libido enhancer or natures aphrodisiac.......

                            It goes on to mention that vegans or vegetarians who are worried about their calcium and protein intake mace has around 10% bioavailable calcium and 12 - 14 % bioavailable protein. It also has nearly 20 amino acids and 7 essential amino acids.
