 Topic: Green smoothies/juicing how to?
Posted: Dec 08 2012 at 11:52am |
I just received my Nutriblast yesterday. Is it possible to only have three smoothies a day as a meal or will I get so hungry as to develop headaches and reach for the nearest candy bar? So far, I've tried a smoothie for constipation (kale, swiss chart, beet, apple, lemon, coconut water) and I can't say that it tastes great but it's tolerable. What are your ABSOLUTE BEST AND MOST BENEFICIAL recipes for regularity, nice skin and hair, weight loss and overall taste? I'm new to this. I know this thread will probably be moved but I need suggestions.Thanks in advance

I didn't notice any noticeable sweetness, tbh. I don't even taste the coconut water. Beets is the overwheming flavour in this shake. Mind you, I have yet to go to the bathroom, so maybe it takes a few days...

When I juiced I just did almost every green I could find.. (Organic) Kale, chards, spinach, celery, and a few other veggies..
With a little fresh squeezed orange juice or an apple
I also added some of my greens powder which has spirulina and other greens
I really want to do a juice cleanse and have nothing but this juice (ill mix up the recipe for some variety) for like a week.. I would add some raw/organic sprouted protein powder (this particular one can aid in cleansing) to it too.. But it's soooo hard
I'll probably try 3 days first. I wanna find this raw vanilla flavored protein powder and substitute that for the juice.. Idk if the taste will be bearable though
I used to have a book with recipes for specific things (skin, bowel cleansing, etc) but idk where it is

Coco, does using non organic vegetables cancel out the health effects of the juicing? They're just too dam expensive where I live, I think I've seen a recipe or two with Spirulina in the Nutriblast booklet. I notice they are also big on flax seeds and turmeric...

It's only my second drink. I'll tell you in a week or so. My main focus is regularity (I take iron pills that have horrible side effects and I'm hoping to circunvent that with diet). Second focus would be weight loss
