I started with 16 ounces a day, then 16 ounces before each meal, and now on good days I drink 2 litres. I got off track the last few weeks to do some personal court issues with custody of my babies, (It all worked out for their best safety and protection) and am now committing to do 5 days of ONLY green smoothies as a cleanse. I've done other cleanses before, so I'm not saying this is for everyone, and maybe no one will even read this given it's now July. But I wanted to write my commitment somewhere. Starting tomorrow, Tuesday, July 28 I will drink 2-8 litres a day, however much I need with a minimum of 2 litres, for 5 days, with nothing else but my supplements and water. I can feel that this is what my body needs. I'll keep everyone posted on my blog! I realize I’m behind the game on this, but I’ve been adding green smoothies to my diet over the last 2 months.

And there are a few veggies that are helped by being cooked but that is a very very small percentage of the amount of edible plants there are on the planet I think that if we are eating enough of the dark leafy greens which a completely PACKED with nutrients, that our bodies will be able to fight the toxins properly.

I believe she talked about how since she was drinking green smoothies all the time that she wasnt chewing so it made her jaw weak. she talks about a jaw exerciser you can buy on the internet. a lot of her studies were on moneys and basically our teeth have become weak from eating so many cooked foods that our teeth cant chew the dark leafy greens long or well enough to be able to break it down properly to absorb all of the ingredients. Thats why it is so good in smoothie form, especially the vitamix. maybe if we are able to strengthen our teeth enough we wont need blenders? *random girl surfing web*

I have been incorporating green smoothies for the past 2 months and have lost a few lbs. On average I am drinking about 64 oz of smoothies daily which include 2 bananas, 1 cup pineapple or green grapes or 2 apples and greens. My question is, can I increase and make 3 quarts for the day if I get hungry at night or does that defeat the weight loss goal? I am also going to the dr to check my thyroid. Thanks.

I am in an exercise training class through my massage school right now, which involves two 30 minute cardio and weight training sessions a week. And a full gym membership during the six week class. While I can't completely do the gym all the time, I've netflixed some workout DVDs and am looking forward to getting out in the warmer spring weather. I challenged myself to do 30 workouts in 30 days. This challenge fits perfectly with that one! I've made green smoothies in the past, and am looking forward to finally reaping the long term benefits of them. My 3 year old will be happy to have lots of her favorite "green spinach juice" too!
