Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. This is an excellent video. Extremely helpful and informative as it answered so many questions at once. You have a new subscriber 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
@@vickyesperanza8267 Oats should be cooked for optimal digestion, and not used in their raw form. If you'd like to add some cooked oats to bulk up your smoothie, sure you can try that.
Woman you are gifted!! Your presentation is spot on. I wish today’s generation would embrace leafy green smoothies than all the junk processed food/snacks sold in shops. At the end of the day we all need to stay healthy and happy. I’d try out your ideas. I dread the taste of kale uncooked but will brace up for the challenge. Shalom!
Thank you so much for your positive feedback and enthusiastic comment. This is so very appreciated! And yes, I do hope you try it as most people are pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable these green smoothie combinations are.
The Gold Standard for Green Smoothie / Nutrition information. Wow! I am new to learning about nutrition/healthy eating and I have spent too many hours on RUclips looking at folks make green smoothies. Look no further. This is the top RUclips video you will find discussing healthy advantages of green smoothies and one of the top videos I have seen on RUclips, ever, on any topic. The presentation is perfect. Detailed information on both “how”, and more importantly, “why” of green smoothies and all the nutritional backup. Split screen with video and audio of the presenter on right half and clear, legible, text on the other half. I think this person knows a thing or two about teaching. Added bonus: Clear audio, perfect diction of presenter (you won’t miss a single word); doesn’t have distracting, loud music playing in the background competing for your attention. My new vita-mix arrived yesterday and now I have my go-to resource for all my nutrition needs. I am now a new subscriber and look forward to seeing all of your other training videos. Well done - and Thanks so much for all the hard work you must have put into this.
I am so greatly moved by your thorough and amazing feedback Fletcher. Thank you SO much for taking the time to write this comment and share it with me. It means a lot, as such keen observation, thoughtfulness, and kindness can be a rare thing today here on RUclips. Best wishes to you, and have fun with the new Vitamix :)
The best tutorial I’ve seen so far about smoothies. Clever woman sharing useful knowledge respecting her viewers. I watched it twice in a row.Thank you so much. Cheers from Poland
This has to be one of the BEST most informative video on RUclips. This is the most fluid well made video packed with everything need to know about smoothies and the pitfalls. Amazing!!!
OMG, the 1st healthy video I have finally come across that actually makes everything not seem so complicated and very well prepared. Thank you so much!! I am a beginner and definitely excited to start this journey.
Wow! The most comprehensive explanation ever of doing a green smoothie; thank you though drinking them for years; first time getting clear instructions. God Bless
I have been following you for the last five years, and especially living in the tropics where there are variaties of fruits and vegetables. Where I live (Vanuatu), I have tried substituting kale with island cabbage, papaya, lime and banana. This changed my whole perspective to mixing fruits and vegetables in a smoothie. This also proofed to optomising my energy level, toned skin, and very nutrient. keeping it simple is a miracle experience... Thankyou very very much for sharing this wonderful receipes..
You are super welcome!!! It is heart-warming to hear that you have enjoyed the videos and found them helpful for your healthy living choices. Best wishes with your continued health!
This is exactly the kind of green smoothie template I was looking for -- whole foods and simple ingredients -- thank you! I've been having smoothies for breakfast almost every morning for a month since I got my Vitamix and how I've been doing them isn't that far from what you do, but it's been a lot of work calculating the nutritional values of different combinations and figuring out if I have enough greens or not in relation to the fruit. This is definitely going to simplify the morning routine. One little suggestion I have for folks is a replacement for the ice cubes if they want a chilled smoothie -- frozen celery. I wash and chop a huge bag of celery, freeze it, and then add a small handful to my smoothies. I can taste the celery, but not as "Ooh, there's celery," but more, "Ooh, there's a lovely and fresh and light flavour behind the rich banana." My Vitamix completely breaks down the celery, just like it does other fibrous produce. I've also used green beans in the same way, but the flavour is a bit more pronounced.
Wow, this is the best smoothie video I have ever seen. So well structured and packed with content. Eliminates a lot of confusion for me regarding the subject. And no waffling. Like a breath of fresh air. Am definitely subscribing. Very well and clearly articulated too. I can't wait to see the other videos on your channel.
If I hadn't seen Marcia's comment below, I would have written exactly the same. Thank you, you have stopped me putting 500 different veggies into one smoothie. Your intelligent measured approach makes a lot of sense. Thank you again and thank you, Marcia.
Thank you for sharing how this video was of help and value to you. I am a big fan of simplicity, as it tends to be much more beneficial for us in the short- and long-term, especially in our modern complex world. Cheers!
A truly outstanding video. The clear and effective articulating of each word is phenomenal. Thank you for proliferating this message so well, it is highly appreciated.
This is the best comprehensive videoI have seen on making green smoothies from understanding the ingredients, to using the different ingredients to the blender as well as the liquid to use. Absolutely superb video you have made Evita. You may seriously consider making it a mission to serve humanity by presenting healthy recipes for daily meals, snacks, smoothies, etc. All very best.
Thank you for your incredibly beautiful feedback Shabbir. I appreciate you taking the time to share this with me, and likewise wish you the very best :)
Where have you been all my life. Without a doubt the best presentation ever. No hullabaloo. Straight to the point. Very informative. Thankyou. I subscribed after one minute.
Excellent video, thank you for sharing your tips. A couple of things I'd like to add from my research & experience: 1) greens will oxidate when blending, and you will lose most of the minerals and vitamins this way; you can get a vacuum blender to prevent that. 2) you are absolutely right about water being the best liquid ingredient, but I don't necessarily think that smoothies with lots of solid ingredients taste worse. And for me, they actually simplify things: I put in most of the nutrients I need, make a huge smoothie, and drink it throughout the day. That and one solid meal is all I need during the day. Here again, having a vacuum blender helps to keep them fresh and prevent separation. 3) smoothies are great to ease your way into intermittent fasting, which is one of the best things you can do for your health.
When I'm looking for recipes on youtube, I usually don't watch anything that goes 10 min or more. I started watching this and was going to click away after 2 minutes, when I realized the actual recipe was not coming any time soon. But guess what? I got hooked and kept watching. Very glad I did. Thanks for the valuable explanation.
A BIG THANK YOU!!! Agreed, it's indeed a truly outstanding video, well articulated. Cheers to good health, good energy, good life! Amazing how simple it can be!
Thank you. I'm growing different kales, collards, chard and baby bok choy. I've never made a smoothie in my life. Thank you for your intelligent, informative videos to get me started on the right track.
This was the most knowledgeable and impactful juicing video I have watched. That's exactly what I was looking for. I just watched the video and made my first smoothie with spinach, chia seeds, pineapple, banana and water (to the instructions in the video) And it's absolutely incredible. The consistency and taste is better than the booster juice and the cost savings and health with this one speaks for itself🙏🏻 Thank you so much for this video!!
You are super welcome and thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback and personal experience! Quick health note: juicing to make juices and blending to make smoothies are two very different processes that make two very different products. Juicing does not make smoothies. Juices are extracts of water-rich fruits or vegetables that lack fiber, whereas smoothies are liquid foods that maintain the whole nutrient integrity of the whole fruit and vegetable, including their fiber. You will, therefore, get very different consistencies and flavors between juices and smoothies, as they are not the same things. (I am not sure what Booster Juice offers, but if I recall correctly they offer both juices and smoothies for people to choose from.) So whether at home or in a restaurant, be sure to notice whether you are interested in having a juice or having a smoothie, as they are very different and serve different functions. All the best with your health journey!
I learned so much watching your video!! Thank you for the step by step reasons and performance of making the smoothie. I have been not making my smoothies simple, I just couldn't figure out why they were a hit and miss. Glad I found you, thank you! High five to you too!
I have been looking for a video like this for quite some time. They are so many videos out there but this one is very clear, no nonsense and very informative. Thank you for taking the time to make sure a video 🙏🏽
me too. your message is clear, detail and you try to make it simple, easy to follow. You got another subscriber. I had a problem before trying to come up with my own green smoothie. thank you for your excellent presentation!
This was the best explanation of what to use in a green smoothie. Now I have a better understanding of which blender to use and how to layer the ingredients. Thank u
Morning, this has been the best presentation I have watched in a long time!!!!! Clearly explained at a good paste, the combinations.....Girl you smashed it. Thankyou Thankyou
Thank you so much I have enjoyed your helpful help for us elderly people , We are going to follow you from now on , it has given me the confidence to live a vegan lifestyle I am now pain free and don’t need any medication, so it is truely wonderful, thank you again x x Joan and Bob. (Nearly age 88 years old )
Thank you for posting! It inspired me to Start making Smoothies again after a failed attempt. The ingredients I used for a Green Smoothie: 2 hand full of Spinach, 1 Bosch pear, 1 Bannana, 1 cup ice, half a squeezed lime, 2 tbs. Flex seeds, & 2 of packets stevia.
Hello, I recently bought a Vitamix A3500 and was stumped on how to make a proper green smoothie, of all the youtube videos I have watched, your is the best. Thanx
Thank you so much for this in-depth and brief explanation of green smoothies. I have been struggling with ingredient lists for years, thank you again for making it simple and doable for everyone! 😊👍
I’m so happy you don’t use protein powders I only want real food. Eating fake stuff is what got most of us in this mess. To me it feels processed and I made a vow to only ear food that comes from a garden or a field, not a jar. Thank you
Absolutely spot on, Sylvia!!! It is always so refreshing to hear from people like yourself who understand the importance and power of real food. To your best health :)
EXCELLENT video!! ❤❤ Truly a HEALTHY drink formula. (I've made many green smoothies before but have never tried pear and kale. WOW, I've been missing out! 😋) TY! ❤
I to have been making these for decades - like over 4... I am now in the 32nd day of a liquid fast. My vitamix is just about smoking...Oh I should say I am 66 years old now. Love your channel...
How wonderful to hear! And I love your idea of the liquid fast. I've done one before with green smoothies too for a month, and really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I wish you continued great health :)
Thank you. I eat whole foods. I am just blending all of them. I eat so good. But my body is healing in this time of rest. Love Spirulina in my drinks...I plan to go 60 days at least!
Awesome video! Your're the first one I've heard address the issues of people who have a problems with chewing vegetables, and allow for that. I needed this video, to try and figure out how to make smoothies for my adult daughter with special needs and serious health issuses. Thank You. New Subscriber, here.
Outstanding videos, right to the point and well presented, I am watching you from Australia. Your command of english is wonderful with perfect pronunciation.
Wow,most explicit youtube video so far on green smoothies .Straight to the point and very educative,you just got a new subscriber.Keep up the good work.
New Subscriber.. Love how packed with info this video was. Started my journey with green smoothies 3 weeks ago after a trip to Mexico to visit my father inlaw he started taking me on his very early morning runs to this smoothie stand in a "Ranchito" or "Ranch" this lady made the most awesome green smoothies using Nopal aka Cacti and Aloe vera Spinach and celery fresh pineapple flax seed i was so out my league I was hesitant to try but Wow what a flavor explosion. So now I'm back home in USA & making them at home.. I'm loving the results the clean feeling my insides have.. Lol Thank u to my father inlaw. ❤
That is so fantastic to hear, Mary Magdalena! I am happy to hear you got to try nopal, too, as it is a very healthy and versatile food. Thanks for sharing your experience :)
The proof of the pudding is in the eating - as the saying goes - just watched your video from 2011 and there's no change at all Evita.Glad i found your channel !
@@Healthytarian You're welcome.Watching on Udemy - the green smoothies course - and found it to be interesting and informative, so i went out and got some ingredients for tomorrows breakfast.Bye bye porridge and milk.What a find - i'm so glad i found your channel Evita.
Thank you so much. I tell my friends and family all the time that all I use is water (not almond milk) and they look at me like I’m crazy. My smoothies are always delicious. 😋
Evita, you are truly a heaven sent. Love the introduction to your subject, to the body as well explaining the do’s and don’t s. The suggestions are very helpful. You’ve made day /weeks fruitful. These treats are a delight, healthy, being a male fan, I added a shot of brandy to one of my treats and wow!...superb ! Thanks for being here. Dan
I’m a mess. Packed in 20 pounds this past year and feeling bleh. Let my guard down after years of being in shape. My Vita Mix arrives today and I can’t wait to get some reform going on. Thanks for this video!
This is one of the best, if not THE best ever tutorials on Green Smoothies! It was clear, concise and extremely well presented! HUGE Kudos to you, Evita Ochel! Well done! Thank you!!
Thank you I thought plaintains could only be used as a bandaid, that is what my grandma used on my cuts, burns and bruises, when I was little in EU. Now thanks to you, I know I can put them in my smoothies. I learn so much every day
Thank you for sharing this. It’s very well explained and has simplified the green smoothly for me. I always felt I needed to stock up on Greek yoghurt, soy or other specific milk, plus fruit and veggies and it all became confusing and just too darned hard. I feel now that you have supplied a simplified type of index card for me to follow. I am so needing to improve my health amd have tried using green smoothies in the past, but failed feeling the whole process too difficult. I think daily of my need to step up and this is a very good way to start. Again you have my gratitude. ❤️
You are super welcome, Heidi. The key to best health is definitely simplicity. These green smoothies that I demonstrate only add the things that are most essential and proven for best health and weight, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Our digestive system also does not want or function at its best when we put in too many different ingredients at once. The key to any optimally healthy eating is not about adding "more stuff" and complicating meals with too many ingredients, but about *"eating more of the right stuff".* Best wishes :)
Excellent, i have been looking everywhere to find a complete tutorial, about the ideal and not so ideal combinations, for both smoothies and juices. This video is a great help for beginners!!!
Great guide! Your info is very helpful with what to use and not use, and especially to keep it simple. All the info and videos about smoothies gets very confusing and complicated. Your info makes it much easier to know what to use. Thanks lots!!
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve adapted a plant-based diet for almost three months now, but I haven’t made many smoothies because I didn’t like the consistency or taste. However, now I feel more confident. You have another subscriber!🌸
This is amazing and I want to thank you for this video. I am getting into this smoothie stuff for the first time and I really don't know what things are best to start off with. This video just perfectly satisfy ALL I need to know. And of course, you got a new subscriber.
Hello, Your videos are a favourite source of info for me, thank-you. I started making green smoothies to start my day about 2 months ago. I use a combo of 2 leafy greens , choosing from spinach, kale, cabbage, Swiss chard . I haven’t tried bok choy yet but plan to later. I also add celery and cucumber, an apple and a banana, 1 tbsp. cacao, I tbsp. hemp hearts, 1tbsp chia seeds , 1tsp.spirulina, juice of 1lemon, sliver of fresh turmeric and fresh ginger and 2cups water as I use a lot of veggies to make enough for 2days. After watching your video I will switch from using hemp to adding ground flax instead. I drink my green smoothies the first thing every morning. My question is, does eating all these raw veggies put you at risk of developing kidney stones as a friend recently told me it could and now I am concerned. I usually have a salad for lunch so have more raw veggies then.
Hi Claire, there is a lot of misinformation floating around out there unfortunately, and unless your friend is a medical specialist with an education in the impacts of nutrition, you always have to take such info with a grain of salt. There is so much fear-mongering out there for all the wrong reasons. Whole plant food diets, which are rich in fruits and vegetables are the MOST protective against kidney disease, stones, and pretty much anything else, including all chronic and acute diseases. Kidney stone risk is highest from low water intake and diets high in animal foods, and lowest in those who eat high fruit and veg diets. Please watch this video from Dr. Greger to educate yourself (and your friend) on this subject: nutritionfacts.org/video/flashback-friday-how-to-prevent-and-treat-kidney-stones-with-diet/ As an added tip, if you want to get the most out of your smoothies, I would definitely recommend that you make enough for the day to drink it fresh, instead of keeping for a period of 2 days. The longer that any processed or cooked plant foods sit, the more they breakdown, so we get the most nutrients out of the freshest foods.
Thank you so much...I've been researching about the green smoothies and this put everything into perspective. How much to use,what not to use ect. This has been very informative..thanks again!!
Thank you so much..this is the Best video on green smoothies..what a relief that you use pure water.. I've been searching for a recipe that doesn't use those horrible expensive processed alternatives🌸👏
Great video! I'd like to add a tip. When using a Nutribullet type blender and FROZEN fruit your smoothie will blend quicker and more easily if you put the fruit in first and your greens last. That way when you flip it you blend your greens and liquid first helping the blender blend the frozen. If the fruit goes in last once you flip the liquid and frozen fruit can become a stubborn mound that just sits and whirls. At least in my experience. Happy smoothing!
I came across one of your video's and have been binge watching them for the last 2hrs. Transitioning into plant base lifestyle. I just subscribed, thanks for all the great info☺.
Wow, that is really great to hear Nita. Thanks for sharing and best wishes on your journey. It is one of the best decisions we can ever make for our health, and the health of our world.

Thank you for posting! It inspired me to Start making Smoothies again after a failed attempt. The ingredients I used for a Green Smoothie: 2 hand full of Spinach, 1 Bosch pear, 1 Bannana, 1 cup ice, half a squeezed lime, 2 tbs. Flex seeds, & 2 of packets stevia.
why would you need stevia,banana is enough for sweetness
@@Србомбоница86 True! To each ones sweetness preference, & sweetness of the banana, Apple bananas are very sweet!
Thanks for sharing your comment!
Hello, I recently bought a Vitamix A3500 and was stumped on how to make a proper green smoothie, of all the youtube videos I have watched, your is the best. Thanx
That is fantastic to hear Jason. Thank you so much for sharing your comment with me.
Thank you so much for this in-depth and brief explanation of green smoothies. I have been struggling with ingredient lists for years, thank you again for making it simple and doable for everyone! 😊👍
You are so welcome! Thank you for your lovely comment :)
I’m so happy you don’t use protein powders I only want real food. Eating fake stuff is what got most of us in this mess. To me it feels processed and I made a vow to only ear food that comes from a garden or a field, not a jar. Thank you
Absolutely spot on, Sylvia!!! It is always so refreshing to hear from people like yourself who understand the importance and power of real food. To your best health :)
Me too ❤
Whole Food Plant based vegan. Too easy.

You are very welcome, and it is great to hear you found it valuable. Thank you, and best wishes!
I to have been making these for decades - like over 4... I am now in the 32nd day of a liquid fast. My vitamix is just about smoking...Oh I should say I am 66 years old now. Love your channel...
How wonderful to hear! And I love your idea of the liquid fast. I've done one before with green smoothies too for a month, and really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I wish you continued great health :)
Thank you. I eat whole foods. I am just blending all of them. I eat so good. But my body is healing in this time of rest. Love Spirulina in my drinks...I plan to go 60 days at least!
Well i made it to 75 days!! Back into HFPB now feel like a kid!
Best smoothie review I've seen. Concise, very informative and in simple and clear language)) Great job!
Thank you so much!!!!
@@Healthytarian do you like avocadoes in your smoothies?
@@wisdomandlove1661 I personally do not. I prefer my avocadoes in other meals, not in smoothies.
Awesome video! Your're the first one I've heard address the issues of people who have a problems with chewing vegetables, and allow for that. I needed this video, to try and figure out how to make smoothies for my adult daughter with special needs and serious health issuses. Thank You. New Subscriber, here.

New Subscriber.. Love how packed with info this video was. Started my journey with green smoothies 3 weeks ago after a trip to Mexico to visit my father inlaw he started taking me on his very early morning runs to this smoothie stand in a "Ranchito" or "Ranch" this lady made the most awesome green smoothies using Nopal aka Cacti and Aloe vera Spinach and celery fresh pineapple flax seed i was so out my league I was hesitant to try but Wow what a flavor explosion. So now I'm back home in USA & making them at home.. I'm loving the results the clean feeling my insides have.. Lol Thank u to my father inlaw. ❤
That is so fantastic to hear, Mary Magdalena! I am happy to hear you got to try nopal, too, as it is a very healthy and versatile food. Thanks for sharing your experience :)

This is one of the best, if not THE best ever tutorials on Green Smoothies! It was clear, concise and extremely well presented! HUGE Kudos to you, Evita Ochel! Well done! Thank you!!
I appreciate your beautiful and heart-warming feedback, Pamela.
Thank you I thought plaintains could only be used as a bandaid, that is what my grandma used on my cuts, burns and bruises, when I was little in EU. Now thanks to you, I know I can put them in my smoothies. I learn so much every day
Great to hear, Grace. And yes, most wild leafy greens have both food and medicinal properties to benefit us in various ways.
Madam, you are explaining well and easy to understand from top to bottom. Please release more vedios like this to get a information under one roof.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback, it means a lot.
Very specific breakdown of what to do.
Thanks. Learning a lot by watching this
You are most welcome Chalika! Thank you so much for your nice feedback :)
@@Healthytarian I
I love my green smoothies, thank you for the education and awareness of the benefits. You Rock!
Awesome to hear Chantal! Thanks so much for your positive comment :)
Thank you for sharing this. It’s very well explained and has simplified the green smoothly for me. I always felt I needed to stock up on Greek yoghurt, soy or other specific milk, plus fruit and veggies and it all became confusing and just too darned hard. I feel now that you have supplied a simplified type of index card for me to follow. I am so needing to improve my health amd have tried using green smoothies in the past, but failed feeling the whole process too difficult. I think daily of my need to step up and this is a very good way to start. Again you have my gratitude. ❤️
You are super welcome, Heidi. The key to best health is definitely simplicity. These green smoothies that I demonstrate only add the things that are most essential and proven for best health and weight, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Our digestive system also does not want or function at its best when we put in too many different ingredients at once. The key to any optimally healthy eating is not about adding "more stuff" and complicating meals with too many ingredients, but about *"eating more of the right stuff".*
Best wishes :)
Your voice is very soothing to listen to and the clarity with which you have presented this information is much appreciated, Thank you.
Thank you so much Lorraine for your lovely comment and feedback. It is greatly appreciated too!
simply the best. i am struggling to start living healthy, but this video has given me a lot of inspiration. love and respect from Bangladesh.

Excellent, i have been looking everywhere to find a complete tutorial, about the ideal and not so ideal combinations, for both smoothies and juices. This video is a great help for beginners!!!
Pleased to hear you enjoyed it and found it to be helpful for your needs. Thank you!
@@Healthytarian h
Great guide! Your info is very helpful with what to use and not use, and especially to keep it simple. All the info and videos about smoothies gets very confusing and complicated. Your info makes it much easier to know what to use. Thanks lots!!
You are very welcome Joyce! My intention as a health educator is to make things as simple and practical as possible.
Very informative! And flawlessly delivered by an intelligent woman. I learnt something, thank you for your time and info!

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve adapted a plant-based diet for almost three months now, but I haven’t made many smoothies because I didn’t like the consistency or taste. However, now I feel more confident. You have another subscriber!🌸
Wonderful to hear, Wanda, thank you. Best wishes and great health to you on your plant-based journey :)

the best video on internet. Love your style and You gave so much info to us. Thanks
Wonderful to hear your enthusiastic feedback, Marie. Thank you SO much!!!
Hello, Your videos are a favourite source of info for me, thank-you. I started making green smoothies to start my day about 2 months ago. I use a combo of 2 leafy greens , choosing from spinach, kale, cabbage, Swiss chard . I haven’t tried bok choy yet but plan to later. I also add celery and cucumber, an apple and a banana, 1 tbsp. cacao, I tbsp. hemp hearts, 1tbsp chia seeds , 1tsp.spirulina, juice of 1lemon, sliver of fresh turmeric and fresh ginger and 2cups water as I use a lot of veggies to make enough for 2days. After watching your video I will switch from using hemp to adding ground flax instead. I drink my green smoothies the first thing every morning. My question is, does eating all these raw veggies put you at risk of developing kidney stones as a friend recently told me it could and now I am concerned. I usually have a salad for lunch so have more raw veggies then.
Hi Claire, there is a lot of misinformation floating around out there unfortunately, and unless your friend is a medical specialist with an education in the impacts of nutrition, you always have to take such info with a grain of salt. There is so much fear-mongering out there for all the wrong reasons. Whole plant food diets, which are rich in fruits and vegetables are the MOST protective against kidney disease, stones, and pretty much anything else, including all chronic and acute diseases. Kidney stone risk is highest from low water intake and diets high in animal foods, and lowest in those who eat high fruit and veg diets. Please watch this video from Dr. Greger to educate yourself (and your friend) on this subject: nutritionfacts.org/video/flashback-friday-how-to-prevent-and-treat-kidney-stones-with-diet/
As an added tip, if you want to get the most out of your smoothies, I would definitely recommend that you make enough for the day to drink it fresh, instead of keeping for a period of 2 days. The longer that any processed or cooked plant foods sit, the more they breakdown, so we get the most nutrients out of the freshest foods.
Thank you so much...I've been researching about the green smoothies and this put everything into perspective. How much to use,what not to use ect. This has been very informative..thanks again!!
You are so very welcome, and thank you so much for your wonderful comment and feedback!

What a beautiful comment Diego! Thank you for sharing your feedback with me.
Thank you so much..this is the Best video on green smoothies..what a relief that you use pure water.. I've been searching for a recipe that doesn't use those horrible expensive processed alternatives🌸👏
That is really great to hear, Ciara. Glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for your lovely comment :)
Great video! I'd like to add a tip. When using a Nutribullet type blender and FROZEN fruit your smoothie will blend quicker and more easily if you put the fruit in first and your greens last. That way when you flip it you blend your greens and liquid first helping the blender blend the frozen. If the fruit goes in last once you flip the liquid and frozen fruit can become a stubborn mound that just sits and whirls. At least in my experience. Happy smoothing!
Great tip! Thanks so much for sharing that here Kristi, and for your nice feedback.
Omg! I absolutely love you. I was prepared to watch at least 3 videos, but I got all my answers right here.
