    I love all types of smoothie, green or not. They fill me up as if they were a meal. My fav one at the moment is bananna, medjool dates, raspberry, agave and a little water/ice.

    carrot
    red delicious apple
    orange

    Yes veggiemaya it is very sweet although not full of nasty refined crap hehe!

    I wish I had a vitamix, although my blender (cedar pay attention) was £9.99 from Tesco in Stevenage and is pretty damn awesome. I make hummus, smoothies and soups from it and never have any issues.

    emzy, that blender sounds like a great find! if you can make all that stuff in it...why bother with an expensive one!
    i think today i am going to try a spin-off of your smoothie idea. i dont have any berries...so i think i am going to try bosc pear. they tend to be pretty sweet when they are ripe enough. of course i will have to throw in some spinach or romaine so it might not be quite as sweet.
    we shall see...

    does anyone ever use coconut in their smoothies? i had a smoothie from the natural market last night that had pineapple, coconut, banana, and soymilk and it may have been the greatest thing i ever tasted! i would love to try to make my own.
    i saw a whole coconut in the store the other day...but i haven't the faintest idea what to do with it.

    mmmm coconut!

    just eat the chunks straight off the shell or grate it down and add to raw pie crust, energy/fruit & nut bars, muesli, raw truffle balls and roll them in it, as a very last resort throw some out for the birds, if there's any left!

    also it depends of whether you were talking about young green coconut or old brown shell coconut

(can of beans??)
    i cant wait to make tonights smoothie!!

    this morning..

    kale

    Ooh! You've just reminded me to use the young coconut I have in the fridge! Suggestions guys? Maybe blend it w/ some narnas. I could also grab some medjool dates from the co-op if I get there in time tomorrow.

    I have been having baby spinach, 2 narnas, and a kiwi fruit, last week I replaced the kiwi w/ frozen mixed berries.

    i forgot to buy a pineapple which i fancied or any red fruit this week so my smoothies have been pretty basic;

    today;
    frozen banana
    orange
    romaine
    water
    sesame seeds
    sunflower seeds

    kitteh - coconut water is one of the best things you could eat/drink! drink the water then use the soft flesh in a fruit salad or mixed maybe?

    I have a day off tomorrow, so I think I'll make a green smoothie. I haven't had this one before, but this is what I have, so I'll go for it.

    lots of romaine
    carrots
    grapefruit
    blended banana

    I also have some oranges and blackberries, but thought I'd save them to eat.

    this is something I've been drinking for years and although its not exactly raw its AWESOME but then I have weird taste buds, I take 2 large tomatoes, 6-7 jalepenos and a whole bunch of garlic and blanch them then I put that in the blender with lots of raw onion and cilantro and drink it cold, but after reading your posts I'm going to start adding raw spinach and/or collards and see how it goes, I tend to like things either sweet or savory but not both

    cedar...do you have a juicer? or do you make the juices from whole fruit? because i have to say..even in the vitamix..there is a difference between whole fruit juice and juice from a juicer. a juicer gives much better, or more pungent flavor, in my opinion.

    it's interesting you say that, i was watching kevin gianni on the renegadehealth.com show and he was saying on a vid about the difference in keeping the fibre in and juicing it right out.

    i have a breville juicer and just use a basic hand blender for my smoothies. i'm saving for a vitamix though, they just seem so useful for all sorts of things.

    ah, do you like the breville? i have been on the hunt these days for one and i have been leaning toward the champion. they are pricey as are most of the decent juicers so i may wind up with a slightly used one from ebay
    the most important thing for me is to be able to juice fruits like apples, as well as leafy greens like spinach and kale.

    also, i would still highly recomment a vitamix. there are sooo many things you can make in it.

    Hello, We've been having green smoothies fro breakfast for a couple of weeks now. I'm hoping to start an early morning job so cant turn on the blender at half 5 in the morning.... Is there any point making the smoothies the night before and keeping them in the fridge or will they loose all the goodness? I'm not sure hubby could operate the blender for himself!

    To be honest littlemiss the fruit starts to lose it's goodness and tastes different. For three years I've been getting up at 4am and turning the blender on hehe! Just shut all the doors, you will be suprised how well that works. I never leave a smoothie or fresh juice for more than 4hours. Something I read about vitamins/enzymes decaying/denaturing.

    Congrats on new job!

    Thanx! Thats what I suspected. I would turn on the blender but hubby is not a morning person and would probably divorce me I'l just set the stuff up and tell him what to do!
    I dont actually have a job but I just went to an interview for a similar thing and they told me I was the only one they interviewed. I tried it for a week but didnt like that particular place, so waiting on two other jobs.

    I think it's ok to do that, I do it almost every day. Just put it in a jar with a tight lid & shake it up good the next morning.

    Hehe, it's a good combo!

    LittleMiss, I'm up at 5.30 and am usually blending @ 6am. I haven't had any complaints yet, but I do wonder about how loud it is for the apartments next to mine :/

    I know some ppl make them the night before, if they go in the fridge they should be ok. I make mine @ 6am, they go in the fridge at work and I drink about about 3pm.
