We are now an official green-smoothie lovin' household. He drinks them after his workouts with protein powder. I drink mine in the morning. I agree that the frozen fruit element (blueberries or a berry mix) is vital to making it go down ... er ... smooth. :) I also think the banana is crucial to balancing out the alisa and sometimes brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04275276185626063736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35256472.post-83893294138637494022011-01-18T21:16:07.706+08:002011-01-18T21:16:07.706+08:00Let me know how it goes.

I have managed to use the elliptical that Heather put in my basement once or twice a week for awhile now. It's not much, but it's a start? Perhaps we should devise a reward/motivation system together?Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11400487566167502106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35256472.post-16115712178192775592011-01-18T07:46:03.010+08:002011-01-18T07:46:03.010+08:00Big green smoothie fan over here. :) Love mixing u...Big green smoothie fan over here. :) Love mixing up all kinds of different concoctions.Kristen's Rawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15340522295588234162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35256472.post-76427856472109112362011-01-18T05:34:20.352+08:002011-01-18T05:34:20.352+08:00Good luck!

I use fruit and low-fat yogurt and, when I remember to order it, ground flax seed.<br /><br />Even if I did want to add greens, all we can get here is some sort of spinach-like leaf and it's impossible to wash all the grit out.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475477442377719233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35256472.post-35956304784089068642011-01-17T09:00:21.353+08:002011-01-17T09:00:21.353+08:00Here are my tricks.

Kale is fine (and really unnoticeable with the spinach surprisingly). I think spring mix tastes too dirty. My preferred liquid is vanilla almond milk and usually some water. I peel my apple because otherwise it tastes a little Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15331821292708545511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35256472.post-43723427990509977942011-01-17T07:20:14.221+08:002011-01-17T07:20:14.221+08:00Yay!

Indeed 35 rapidly approaches for me. And, surgery and recovery have not helped either.<br /><br />I have tried a kale recipe I found on Allrecipes that wasn't too bad, but it was hard to get over the "It's kale!" part of the green smoothie.<br /><br />Here's to a new year and new tricks.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15908320764726278174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35256472.post-83652541972295159252011-01-17T06:33:25.424+08:002011-01-17T06:33:25.424+08:00Have you read my "new" blog?

Don't be thinking they are anything but fruits and veggies mixed. I didn't love my first but kept making them and drinking them and now they a) taste good and b) make me feel great. <br /><br />Btw: I use one packet of stevia and sweetened almond milk. It helps.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155042286165966395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35256472.post-29222100977026193002011-01-17T03:27:08.224+08:002011-01-17T03:27:08.224+08:00I'm a bit of an old dog
