Ode to Green Smoothie As the Russian proverb says: New... is something old,
that has been long This smoothie looks very green, but it tastes like fruit.
I like green smoothies 1. Green smoothies are very nutritious. I believe that the ratio in them is optimal for human consumption: at 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,
or divided into 3. Green smoothies, as apposed 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 I always make extra smoothie and offer it to my friends
and customers. Some 5. By consuming two or three cups of green smoothies daily
you will consume 6. Green smoothies are easy to make, and quick to clean up after.

Green smoothies are perfect food for children of all
ages, including babies 8. When you consume your greens in the form of green smoothies,

Juanita and I have been drinking green smoothies on and off since mid-June. We both gained relief from arthritis pain and I lost all symptoms of candida as long as I drank a green smoothie daily. Juanita is amazed by how much better her memory is now and her increased sense of smell. Juanita says she has a greatly increased
enthusiasm for projects around the house and in the yard. And
she feels "up" most of the time now. We both enjoy the
green smoothies and are very happy about the increase in our Our favorite green smoothie is apple-pear-greens. All ingredients are fresh and organic. We have a 48 oz. blender in which we put 21/2 cups of sun energized water, then add 3 heaping tablespoons of raw pumpkin seeds, a small handful of raw almonds and 3 large dried Calimyrna figs cut in half. (Both the pumpkin seeds and the figs and almonds are good wormers when you walk bare foot a lot.) We then add the washed greens which we cut into roughly 1 inch squares so they are easy to blend. We usually use 6 or 8 romaine lettuce leaves, some parsley, and a little bit of celery, maybe 1/2 of a stock, because it has a very strong taste. In season we add a small amount of either dandelion leaves, miners lettuce, plantain, nasturtium leaves, or swiss chard. Then we add a small handful of wheat grass cut fine. I usually cut and mix all the greens into a large bowl and then add them slowly through the small opening in the lid. The blender is set on Hi speed. We cut and core the apple and pear, leaving the skin on. We reduce the blender to 1/2 speed and add the strips of fruit through the blender lid. When the fruit is chopped we again set the blender on high and run for 3 or 4 minutes. During the last 30 seconds we add a small handful of date pieces. This chops the date pieces into small chunks which adds an occasional sweet surprise when we drink the smoothie. This recipe makes two very thick 24 oz. smoothies, or about 3/4 of a quart fruit jar. Juanita drinks hers thick just as it comes from the blender, I fill the rest of the jar up with solarized water and mix it into a much thinner drink. The preparation of the fruit and greens,blending and cleanup takes about 10-15 minutes. Much easier cleanup than juicing. A word caution: When you are adding wild greens to your green smoothie be sure and check that it is edible and not poisonous. And green smoothies begin digestion in the mouth, so as we used to say on the ranch when we wanted a hard job done, "Put a lot of spit into it." Work your jaws to add saliva. Green smoothies will benefit people eating any diet.
