I have mild psoriasis and psoriatic nails that are clearing up because of the green smoothies!! This is really exciting to me because I’ve tried so many things and nothing else works like the smoothies. It’s my personal opinion that psoriasis is linked to liver congestion/toxicity and so I’ve been adding half a beet plus the leaves to most of smoothies since beet is supposed to help cleanse the liver. Some other beneficial side-effects are that the quality of my sleep is much improved, I don’t have to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, my skin is literally GLOWING, irritability and anxiety both much reduced, and my cravings for junk food are all but gone! I also feel like my thinking is clearer and I have less fatigue and “brain fog.”

Susan, you need to add more fruit to your smoothie to make it palatable. Next time, try adding 2 bananas and maybe less kale, which is especially “green” tasting. I like to add half a lemon (peel and all!) when I use kale or parsley to cut that green taste. Stick with it and find some combos you like. I love adding apples and frozen berries to our smoothies and sometimes I add a couple of drops of liquid stevia if my ratio of greens is higher than it should be. I think 50/50 is good. Any more greens than that and it can be hard to drink because of the taste.

You can’t go too extreme on anything. It’s best to have everything in moderation. 100% raw is just too extreme!

I picked up the Green Smoothie book at the library last week. I am an irregluar juicer – I juice carrots for the familty about once a week, but the clean-up is an issue, so I was really intruiged by the green smoothies. I made my first one yesterday and did not have the wonderful results everyone raves about. I used about 2 cups of kale, 1/2 avocado and 1 banana for my 1st smoothie. I could hardly choke it down!!! My co-worker said that it stunk and asked me to remove it from my cubicle. I eat a lot of raw food, so I was really surprised I could not do this! I guess I better start over using spinach this time! Has this happened to anyone else?
