GREEN SMOOTHIES
They are my new coffee! I jumped on the green smoothie band wagon a few weeks ago. Since I've lost 31.2 lbs (yes that .2 matters!), I've been on a health kick. I no longer eat meat and I CAN'T eat dairy. I mostly eat raw fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Can you say energy?! I feel great. I no longer get that full feeling. My skin is clearing up. I have a good attitude. I haven't had a headache in a while. I feel so much better about myself knowing that I'm not eating crap out of a box anymore. I'm not saying that I haven't indulged in the occasional treat :o but I don't have the cravings that much anymore. If I had chips in the cabinet before, I would have an overwhelming urge to eat them. Seriously, it was all consuming! I couldn't concentrate or stay on task because I was thinking about those darn chips!!
We'll see what happens with weight loss. That would just be an added benefit at this point. Even if I don't lose a pound, this is still gonna be my new way of eating.

Hi Kymm,
I too am delving into the raw food arena. My favorite green smoothie consists of kale, cucumber, flax seed oil, blueberries and banana, a littel water and ice. It's awesome! I drink it for breakfast, and I'm barely hungry at lunch time. I'm trying to eat raw for breakfast & lunch, and vegetarian, possibly cooked, for dinner.
I'm going to contact the raw food instructor that Karen at Choices Natural suggested. I would love for someone to give me some ideas for "cooking" raw.
Good luck! I'm hoping to start feeling better like you on this "diet".

Congratulations on your success :) Adding raw to your life AND cutting out animal products (and by-products) is so life changing. I'm really happy for you.
With apples in season, I'm cherishing my Fluffy Green Smoothie these days:
1 1/2 cups water
1-2 handsful spinach
2 apples
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
YUM!!!
Cheers,
Kristen
