Diana’s Green Smoothie with a Difference
I have always eaten my smoothie rather then drink them.
From the beginning, I saw that it made more sense to eat them rather then drink them and that is not just because I prefer to eat. Digestion starts with the digestive juices in the mouth.
Also, when I heard that jaw exercisers were being sold to people who drank lots of green smoothies all day…..I knew I was on the right track.
I don’t show it in the video but you can add different greens. I of ten use dandelion greens or lamb’s quarters.
You have to be careful in adding TOO MUCH of these kinds of greens because they have a stronger taste.

I would like to say that I liked as the other two videos about smooties I saw on this site better. That person doing the demonstration was extremely knowledgeable and a great teacher and good looking to boot!

haha…you would say that and not that you are bragging or anything. You can’t even spell smoothies! You call that knowledgeable.
And what do you mean unbiased commenter?
Diana, Thanks – I’m trying one soon! And I think 1) your delivery was fine, 2) you’re pretty.
Thanks Diana for the video! I will be transitioning to a raw food diet at the end of this month, and these videos will really help me SEE the process I have to use as a raw foodist. I am doing TONS of research/reading on raw food, but visually seeing someone do the recipes is a great learning tool for me
Can’t wait for the rest of the series 
Fabulous Diane!

Great vid. Love eating it from a bowl. Very novel!

I just made my first ‘green smoothy’.
It is deliciously ‘chewy’ using my standard blender, and really feels fulfilling/grounding.
Bryce’s Protein Power Punch Smoothy:
Ingredients:
A couple handfuls, baby Spinach
1 Apple, with stem and roughest part of core removed, cut in 8 pieces
2 tbsps Hemp seeds
4 or 5 strawberries, green parts removed
filtered Water, as required.
Directions:
Dump contents into blender, in order
Fill to 2-cup level with water
Blend 2-3 minutes
Enjoy!
Great recipe Bryce and happy to hear that you made one.
Look forward to tasting it too.

Will try your smoothie today, sounds good and I like that you ‘eat’ it. Didn’t know that about almonds, I guess I am soaking them from now on. Looking forward to your other videos. Thanks.
Thank you. I would like to have the apples, spinach and almonds to make that smoothie right now. I have been talking to a friend who is basically dying with cancer about 15 minutes ago. This smoothie perhaps would be something she could drink to give her strength!
P.S. I didn’t know about soaking the almonds overnight for better digestion.
[...] 7. Perfect for Green Smoothies and Salads: Organic pre-washed spinach is now readily available in most grocery stores. If you haven’t yet tried a green smoothie yet and think they might taste yucky then try one with the main ingredient as spinach. Spinach is so sweet, we guarantee you will be impressed.

These sound delicious, I’ll have to try them…yummmmmmm…..♥
Yes we love our green smoothies!
I am happy that many are learning about how to make nuts more digestible; here is more to read: http://realfoodforlife.com/nuts-seeds
Linda, sending my best to your friend and I am sure the smoothie would give her strength.
All green smoothie recipes very welcome here…please do post them here.
Great video for beginners, thank you for the information on almonds. I am also a smoothie drinker, would it be okay to use green tea instead of spring water? I also use
nutritional yeast in mine.
thank you again.
Thank you, I will be trying this soon.
Thank you for the green smoothie recipe. Also for the info about soaking the almonds.
Is this common to other kinds of nuts too?
Thank you Trish, you could use green tea but make sure you did not use boiling water to make it as the live enzymes will be lost. Why do you want to make it with green tea? The green leafies will do the trick.
Christine, Yes it is and here is where to get all the info about Nuts & Seeds: http://realfoodforlife.com/nuts-seeds
Since I am new to your site, didn’t know you would comment to me, thank you. Guess I wasn’t thinking about using green tea, you are so right about getting enough of the “green leafies” without using tea.
thank you again.
Well Trish, we are real live people.
I am very glad there are “live” people like you Diane, I feel like I have found a friend.
One little thing I do for a smoothie, I cut the bananas in pieces, freeze them
and toss them in with the other ingredients, makes a “cool” drink. Maybe this
isn’t new for others.
Thanks again.
Trish, I like the idea of a cool banana drink for the summer.
