My grandpa made something like this with fresh vegetables from his garden. He called it senior citizen's salad. He lived until 98 and worked until the last three weeks of his life.
Just had my first Kale shake Dr. Berg! You know what? It wasn't as gross as I thought it would be. Thanks again for helping me get my dark leafy greens in! On my way to health. 10 pounds down since July 29th. WHOOP WHOOP!!
First of all I hate kale!!!! But I decided to make a green shake (not this one yet cause I didn't have all the stuff at home)... I used frozen kale, water, frozen spinich, squeezed a little lemon n there and 3 strawberries!! It was soooo good I couldn't believe it!! Plus the extra I put in the fridge didn't get thicker
Jessica, I'll have to try that. I bet the water n lemon juice is refreshing. I use spinach as well but add coconut milk, chia seeds, flax seeds, mct oil, college peptide powder and a handful of berries n ice cubes.
Did you have any issues using frozen spinach? I tried that… after a few days my throat was sore and felt like swallowing glass. Basically, it was the oxalate crystals
For a low carb smoothie, I use avocado to give it a creamy consistency the same way a frozen banana would do. Then, I add greens, ground Chia or flax, MCT oil, collagen, cinnamon, and birch Xylitol, or erythritol, or stevia to sweeten.
I make a kale and spinach smoothie with avocado, apple cider vinegar, raw garlic bulbs, and my secret ingredient... watermelon. It's superb. I live in NZ, so the idea of finding wheatgrass powder is ludicrous.
My go to green smoothie is kale, carrot, ginger, lime juice with chia seeds, almonds, Greek yogurt and a pinch of salt. So tasty! Vitamix makes it amazing.
I like to buy bunches of organic kale (they run $1 each some stores) so that I can inspect it before washing and freezing the kale myself. I’ve found that using less liquid on the first blend makes it finer since the components don’t have the capacity to float away from the blades.I later add more liquid to make it juice like.
I make 2 main smoothies that I alternate between -- one purple and one green. Both have frozen avocado, protein powder and/or collagen powder, coconut/mct oil, stevia, hemp seeds, and chai. If I am doing green, I add kale and spirulina. If I'm doing purple, I add a package of no sugar added frozen acai puree, maqui powder, and sometimes a little cocoa powder. I do this because blues and purples have your anti-aging and beauty nutrients. I usually add it to a bowl and sprinkle dried unsweetened coconut flakes on top for added crunch.
A magic bullet, half kale, half an avocado, some pink salt, and quarter water. You really don't need much, the avocado really comes through with flavour. Edit: Now I add in a tablespoon of ACV.
*I tried your kale shake recipe and it turned out amazing! I love how refreshing and nutritious it is. It's a great way to incorporate kale into my diet without the sweetness of berries. Thank you for sharing!*
Thanks Dr Berg. I used your exact recipe (only added lime infused water) and it turned out great. I was expecting a bland taste but it was a pleasant surprise that it tasted actually really good. Thank you!
I use baby kale which doesn't seem to cause digestive issues like regular kale. I also use 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk and 1/2 cup water, tastes better. Dr. Berg, get a blendtec -40 seconds.
Photo Zombies i stopped using almond milk due to the test dr. Berg suggested to due on headaches so now i buy coconut milk wich is not from nuts i found out. And i do the same as you minus the milk
Photo Zombies ps i meant to add i use the full grown kale but Costco has otganic veggies, lettuce leaves whole and cut and blended mixes. So thats what i use
Vitamix is the way to go. Had one for 15 years. It still rocks. Interesting that I add everything at once , and only need to blend a minute. I will try doing separately as the steps in video.
Dr. Berg if you add less water and add everything else right away it won't take as long to blend it all up smooth. More water makes it more difficult to blend. I prefer my smoothie savory, like green gaspacho! I add to the greens, lime juice, avocados, green pepper, raw garlic, 1/2 onion, good healthy salt and the whole bunch of cilantro!
My drink is Celery, some kale, spinach(sometimes), chia seeds, turmeric powder, half of avocado, sunflower seed butter 1tbsp and half, Sweeteners. It has a great taste.
I had my raw wheatgrass powder lemon flavour and electrolyte powder raspberry and lemon flavour delivered today to London. I made exactly the same shake and I tell you it tastes amazing not too sweet just perfect. Thank you Doc really pleased with the powders
@@Drberg dear Doc, I did leave a suggestion to your sales man he said he will pass it on to you. Could you make a video on Huntington disease how keto benefits it please as my dad suffers with it
I blend my ~120 g kale in a cup of V8 regular tomato juice. I don't care about 7 g sugar in it, that is not a lot but the smoothie is tasty. Also I use a regular immerse blender, it takes about a minute to blend it.
I added some celery, matcha powder (pure unsweetened), cucumber and ice cubes. It turned out so alkalising, so fresh, no bitter taste nothing Just perfect green snow
Thats exactly what I do, I have watched a lot of your videos and have purchased your products, lost 17lbs in the process since Oct 01, 2020. My body feels great but know that it will get a lot better down the road. I do the Wheatgrass, the raspberry/lemon with all the berries for breakfast and don't eat until 4-6pm in the evening. Great results this past week, alot of energy since I work 12hr shifts. Thank you Dr. Berg
I had my FIRST ever Spinach with little bit kale shake and I like it!! One cup water, big big handful of greens, half cup (14 blueberries, and three large slices frozen peach ) and few slices bananas. I did not need any other sweetner or powder ($$$). I am so surprised with the fact that I really like it! I think because I've been sugar free for a month and half , my taste buds are more accepting of less sweet things. I'm ever so pleased!;!!
How does yours come out after blending it? I have 2 pretty good blenders (Ninja & Nutribullet Rx) that I used today for this.. I still had pieces of kale that I ended up straining and eating with my eggs 🤢.. not sure if it’s normal or if it shouldn’t be at all leafy ? Thanks
Yolanda Antero I make mine with 1/3# kale and 3/4c milk kefir. I freeze my kale the day before and add it to the blender still frozen, just like Dr Berg is doing in the video. I use a VitaMix blender. I blend until it’s liquefied, so no, there are no bits in mine. Looks just like a green smoothie or shake.
Since Dr. Berg said Kale, Parsley, and Beet Leaves (aka. "chard") make the best smoothie, that's the basis of every evening time drink, with other stuff, like radishes, celery, romaine, garlic, broccoli sprouts thrown in. But none of this stuff is good-tasting, although you can get used to it. I find that throwing in a beetroot will not only make it taste good, but, no matter how green it was, turn it purple. Other things to improve the taste: red bell peppers, nutritional yeast, turmeric, fresh ground black peppercorns, and Himalayan Sea Salt. But a big killer of all that bitterness - a tablespoon of organic Ceylon Cinnamon. And I use much less water: I drink it as thick as pea soup: a powerful blender only needs about a half cup of water, maybe a little less, to get started; after that, there's plenty of water in the vegetables themselves.
I've used as much as two tablespoons-full, but, after all, cinnamon is powdered tree bark (the live, inner part, not the hard outer bark); I don't know if there might be a limit to how much of that one can digest. By the way, every ingredient I mentioned, I buy organic. Making it thick keeps it down to one liter, when I started out, I was using more water, and drinking almost two liters every evening. That's too much!
Not everyone agrees, but when I say cinnamon, I mean (organic) Ceylon Cinnamon. I notice that Dr. Berg uses Saigon Cinnamon - many say that this has too much coumarin ( an ingredient of rat poison), which the Ceylon variety doesn't have, and shouldn't be eaten in large doses. In fact, in ancient times, Ceylon Cinnamon was the only cinnamon, all the other varieties from Vietnam, Indonesia, China, etc. were given the name Cassia. Unless it says otherwise, grocery store cinnamon is actually cassia.
+SleeplessinOC Had no idea about cinnamon doing that. Thank you for the head's up :) Am curious if a nice taste replacement could be ground ginger instead. Thanks, too, for the great post, +Jganun! Your tips are so helpful!
californication751 you’re welcome ! I was sad to read that because I like the taste of cinnamon . I also avoid flax seeds/oil and hemp seed oil for similar reasons .
I love the idea of adding coconut oil in! I started to watch your videos about 2 weeks ago and slowly getting to routine, been struggling with BED most of my life and I have really sweet tooth so took me few days to get used to taste of this drink but the extra fat trully helps my tummy & brain to keep happy longer before I get next snack. Now instead of opening fridge 100 times per hour for empty snack I open it more rarely and have a sip of smoothie (thats 2nd glass I make just for “snacking”) . IF it’s something I need more time but getting there , slowly but surely! Your videos are very helpful x thank you 😊
I knew I wasnt going to be abke to eat 7-10 cups of veges a day, so every morning I make a Kale smoothie. When I found this video I was surprised to see that so does Dr Berg. I like to "get it all in at once" so my recipe is as follows; 1 large handful of kale (I freeze my greens), 1 large handful of another green, the 2 powders Dr Berg has in his recipe(wheatgrass&electrolyte), 16 ounces filtered water, 1/4 tsp spirulina, 1 T flaxseed oil, 1 tsp Codliver oil, 1 tsp sea Kelp, 1/4 avacado (dont like avacados), 1 tsp apple cider vinegar that I make, 1/4 tsp trace minerals...oh! And a small scoop of Neuro-Mag (through Life Extension. I drink this when I eat my protein and I eat 2 times a day. It actually tastes just fine. No fishy taste.
I love kale shake... I put 1 ripe avocado 🥑 and half of lime chopped skin on... and a pinch of Himalayan salt... it’s delicious 😋 and very much filling
Half bag of Kale Fill enough water to cover for 4 minutes 2-3 tsps Lemon juice 1 tsp Wheat grass powder 1 tsp electrolyte powder 1 tsp Coconut oil (organic cold pressed unrefined) Mix all the ingredients in a powerful blender and enjoy 😊
Everyday at work I down in one go a litre of my Kale Smoothie made from: 2 handfuls of Kale 1/2 Handful of Purslane. 1 large banana 1 handful of blueberries 3 inches of cucumber (Sliced) 1 teaspoon of Spirulina. 2 teaspoons of Stevia. Fill the rest with purified water.
I just made my first kale smoothie, tasted fine, ..........quite nice in fact. kale, half a small banana, some frozen berries, half an avo, with some coconut cream to taste.. drank a small glass..an hour later I felt rough, went to bed for a couple of hours. I googled `I felt ill after a kale smoothie` Should I be concerned about the references to THALLIUM CONTENT in Kale?
I do not get excited about machines - ANY machines. But. I must say the Vitamix blender is the only way to go. I finally bit the bullet, found a good used one on eBay, got it home, set it up, filled it and flicked it "on" and began to turn away to do something else... But I could not! Instead I stopped and starred, mezmerized: quiet, almost a purr, immense power, carefully controlled... Vitamix is the jaguar of the blender kingdom
Love my Vitamix and not all models are $500....and you can buy refurbished too . Warranty is long too, often 7 years (refurbished 5 years). You can do a lot more than a smoothie with a Vitamix. I paid a little over $400 for mine, but have been using it daily, sometimes 3 times (family of 6) . You can even make hot soups in some models, and even have a self cleaning function where you just need to add some water and a few drops of dish soap, use the "cleaning" function and it will clean itself (you avoid cutting your fingers on the blades this way!). Anyway, easy to dismiss the Vitamix brand due to high price but when you research it, you will soon understand why it isn't cheap, and worth it !
I had bought the wheat grass and electrolytes powder from Dr. Berg beginner kit and I must say it gives a very strange taste to the smoothie, I couldn’t drink it so I had to return them and i think blending the kale with one lemon half cucumber and water has a better taste than adding the powders, sometimes I add avocado too.
Ok so I’ve been watching closely to videos for the past week regarding Keto.. I decided yesterday to start doing this.. I searched for the electrolyte powders online (since my husband also needs them in his water while Roofing) and seen they had them at GNC. I also purchased wheat grass powder from them too so I could get started right away. I came home and blended my frozen Kale in 2 different blenders. I added freshly squeezed lemon juice and added organic stevia since the wheat grass didn’t have any added flavor, and organic coconut oil... It tasted like grass lol 😆 after staining the chunks of kale and eating the chunks with some eggs.. i remembered to put in the electrolytes in my drink that had a lemon lime flavor... oh my gosh it made a HUGE difference. I was able to drink half of the 6 cup drink and my husband actually didn’t spit it out right away like the first try.. but I came to the conclusion that I’d rather use the same electrolytes and grass powder he uses here in the video.. Because they both had flavoring to make this so much better.. I can’t wait until my shipment comes in!! This is quicker and easier for me since I have twin girls (1yr old) and I don’t have to think of how to incorporate or consume all my veggies in one day
I use spinach, frozen berries, fresh lemon juice, mango and some Milled flaxseed to thicken it slightly. First time I tried it I knew I had the right combination.
My favorite smoothie is a big handful of fresh spinach or spinach / Baby kale, ice, tablespoon of flaxseed, half of a small avocado, almond milk, water, and a little less than half of a really ripe banana. I hate using the banana cuz of the sugar but I try to make that the only carbs I eat all day. It tastes so good with it!
1/4 cup ACV, 1/4 cup olive oil, Italian seasoning, turmeric, ginger, pepper, salt, cinnamon, garlic powder, mustard powder, fresh squeezed lemon juice. Roughly about half a tsp of all spices. Tastes like Italian dressing. No sweetener needed. I do one shake a day and I feel great!
Hello Eatmoverest, I would greatly appreciate it if you would please tell me what brand of coconut oil you use that is the same one Dr. Berg is using. Thank you so much!
My smoothie is some frozen strawberries, a couple pieces of frozen banana, blueberries, milk, ground flax seed, ground chia, cinnamon, and a little cocoa powder with some whey protein powder. I drink it after working out then take a handful of raw spinach and just eat it.
I couldn`t find raw wheat grass juice powder in my country. I used cactus flavored BCAA to add some sweetness or apple flavored creatine powder. When i`m not in the mood for coconut oil I add flax, chia, sunflower, pumpkin seeds. I don`t blend them too long it makes my kale shake super crunchy :) This is perfect meal for me I don`t feel heavy but sated at the same time.
Thanks Dr. Berg your video has saved me from heart attack and many more help in health where have you been a big grateful thank you words cannot express my thankfulness
One other tip: If you don't have (or can't afford) a high-powered blender, blend up what you can w/ a run of a mill blender and then use a fine strainer to sift the kale chunks out. 🙂
This is awesome and perfect timing! Just yesterday I was searching for your Kale drink recipe! I didn’t have all of the ingredients so I just used organic kale, fresh ginger root and lemon juice that I juiced with my juicer. Before adding the lemon and ginger I tasted the Kale. Yuck! You’re correct! It tasted horrible! Ha! Now, I just tried this and it tastes amazing! So grateful for you, all you’re doing for us, and for all of your recipes too! Thank you!
Today’s the second time I’ve made this.. but it was the first time using Dr.Bergs Wheat grass & electrolytes.. it tastes waaaaay better this time .. my 1 year old twin girls aren’t letting me drink it because they’re fighting over it because they like it so much 👍🏽.. that is the main reason why I decided to live healthier.. if i am buying all organic for my girls, why not for me too? Right? I’ve been doing Keto for less than 2 weeks and am down 15lbs.. but I’m so happy that what I put on my plate or in my cup I can guilt free give to my babies
Dr. Berg can you please talk about fluoride in the water and what filter do you use for yourself and family. Do you also add any minerals back into your filtered water? Thanks so much.
pellegrino tastes so gross! I just fill up a 2 litre pop bottle of filtered water and 2 big squirts of mio and I drink it in 2-4 hours. Not drank water today yet, BRB!!
Dr. Berg and viewers, get a Ninja Blender that has a smoothie setting. The smoothie setting prevents the foaming as it blends on and off automatically for 1 minute. Love your videos Dr. Berg YOU ARE A BLESSING to me 🙏🏼😘
My best guess is lazy/didn't care or yes, he wanted to show the blender box. It could very well just be he thought it was the least important part of the video and wasn't worth editing or redoing the whole video over.
That's great! I will share this with Dr. Berg! If you’ve benefited from Dr. Berg’s program or content in any way, we’d love to hear your success story! If you would like to share it, please use this link: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story Dr. Berg's Support Team.
Don’t you need to lightly steam the dark leafy greens (and brassicas) before consuming so you don’t irritate the guy with the protective chemicals they naturally have? I believe this is really important for those with leaky gut and those wanting to avoid it. Otherwise, this is one of the best videos I’ve found online, for low glycemic.👍🏻
I use mct oil instead, and i add that in the beginning and it will stop it from foaming. I still add the powdered ingredients after I blend everything down though.
Hey Dr. Berg, got my first shipment from US Wellness Meats. The liverwurst tastes just like liverwurst but like you said, it's a bit different texture but still, grass fed liverwurst. Yaaaay! Thanks for the tip.
Powders powders powders... Wheres natural in that... Its sad to see this because vast majority of us cannot afford these powders etc and need cheap and practical alternatives
You don’t have to put the wheat grass in and the electrolyte powder he offers actually is cheaper than any others I’ve found (my husband works outside in the heat so I’ve searched high and low for a good alternative to making him drink baby Pedialyte) .. an alternative is maybe using the electrolyte powder every other use 👍🏽
We live in a unnatural world, without forest anymore and you complain about powders? he is just making this shake even better, look up for your own alternatives
Dr. Berg, do you have any thoughts on blending vegetables too long and damaging the enzymes in the vegetables? Is that a thing? Thanks for your videos! Always helpful.
The damage to the enzymes that you are trying to avoid is caused by excessive heat that is caused by blending for a long time. In order to avoid excessive heat, pause the blender and add ice cubes before the sides of the blender start to warm up. The risk of overheating also explains why Dr Berg told us that he freezes the kale (overnight, I imagine)
I'm avoiding stevia too. I'm avoiding sugar and sugar substitutes. I believe a little raw unfiltered organic honey is okay. But very little. I've been using organic lemons in place of sugar.
Dr. Berg is it okay to have full-fat Greek yogurt with blueberries in a smoothie or just fruit in general? I know you mentioned that fat and sugar are bad in combination
Dr. Berg, one thing you take for granted, that ALL kale shake recipes seem to take for granted, is that we want it sweet. We don't. I see it as a new veggie/fruit drink, not as a replacement for sweet drinks. I use zero sweetener but lots of fresh ginger and ingredients like radishes for a tart flavor or frozen pineapple (of you are OK with higher carb/calorie) for a light flavor, very fresh taste and scent for both. (Using all frozen ingredients, except the finger, which is always fresh, also helps a lot with taste)
On the face of it, I love this new shake solution and will order the electrolyte powder so I can try it. One thing: I’m watching this on an iPhone and I don’t see the link to his free recipes as mentioned at end of the video. Can someone post it in the Comments, please?
Get a vitamix. You would’ve been done in 45 seconds. Use dates for sweetener and it’s also protein, a little cinnamon to cut the sugar from the dates, an entire lemon. The lemon with the rind stimulates the kidneys and liver because of the bitterness but the dates balance the taste. You could’ve put all if the ingredients in at once with a Vitamix. They are a little pricey but they work well, last long, and do so much more than blend. 😊

Leave out the very delecious part

I think 4 min is overkill unless you have a cheap blender. vitimix or blendtec will heat it up like soup.. unless there is some reason for that...
I think the reason Dr berg recommend 4 mins blending is because Goitrogens is in cruciferous veggies which can inhibit iodine hampering the thyroid

But a big killer of all that bitterness - a tablespoon of organic Ceylon Cinnamon. And I use much less water: I drink it as thick as pea soup: a powerful blender only needs about a half cup of water, maybe a little less, to get started; after that, there's plenty of water in the vegetables themselves.
I've used as much as two tablespoons-full, but, after all, cinnamon is powdered tree bark (the live, inner part, not the hard outer bark); I don't know if there might be a limit to how much of that one can digest. By the way, every ingredient I mentioned, I buy organic. Making it thick keeps it down to one liter, when I started out, I was using more water, and drinking almost two liters every evening. That's too much!
Not everyone agrees, but when I say cinnamon, I mean (organic) Ceylon Cinnamon. I notice that Dr. Berg uses Saigon Cinnamon - many say that this has too much coumarin ( an ingredient of rat poison), which the Ceylon variety doesn't have, and shouldn't be eaten in large doses. In fact, in ancient times, Ceylon Cinnamon was the only cinnamon, all the other varieties from Vietnam, Indonesia, China, etc. were given the name Cassia. Unless it says otherwise, grocery store cinnamon is actually cassia.
Cinnamon triggers estrogen production , something undesirable unless you need it
+SleeplessinOC Had no idea about cinnamon doing that. Thank you for the head's up :) Am curious if a nice taste replacement could be ground ginger instead. Thanks, too, for the great post, +Jganun! Your tips are so helpful!
californication751 you’re welcome ! I was sad to read that because I like the taste of cinnamon . I also avoid flax seeds/oil and hemp seed oil for similar reasons .
Hi.Dr Berg. is it possible for you to talk about Matcha in the near future?
I love the idea of adding coconut oil in! I started to watch your videos about 2 weeks ago and slowly getting to routine, been struggling with BED most of my life and I have really sweet tooth so took me few days to get used to taste of this drink but the extra fat trully helps my tummy & brain to keep happy longer before I get next snack. Now instead of opening fridge 100 times per hour for empty snack I open it more rarely and have a sip of smoothie (thats 2nd glass I make just for “snacking”) . IF it’s something I need more time but getting there , slowly but surely! Your videos are very helpful x thank you 😊
He is such a blessing.
Humor, cherry on top!! 😭🤣🤣
I knew I wasnt going to be abke to eat 7-10 cups of veges a day, so every morning I make a Kale smoothie. When I found this video I was surprised to see that so does Dr Berg. I like to "get it all in at once" so my recipe is as follows; 1 large handful of kale (I freeze my greens), 1 large handful of another green, the 2 powders Dr Berg has in his recipe(wheatgrass&electrolyte), 16 ounces filtered water, 1/4 tsp spirulina, 1 T flaxseed oil, 1 tsp Codliver oil, 1 tsp sea Kelp, 1/4 avacado (dont like avacados), 1 tsp apple cider vinegar that I make, 1/4 tsp trace minerals...oh! And a small scoop of Neuro-Mag (through Life Extension. I drink this when I eat my protein and I eat 2 times a day. It actually tastes just fine. No fishy taste.
Four minutes? In one minute, it's absolutely liquefied in my Vitamix.
Also less oxidated
He mentioned the blender took a while I think?
@@brandhark7935 he did... he said blender takes 4 minutes but a Vitamix is a way different creature so the o.p. had to adjust the blend time
I have one but not everyone can afford though. Sht is expensive but worth it, will last for a while.
He'll go through 5 of those blenders to 1 Vitamix. And I noticed alot of unblended chunks when he was pouring.
I did the Kale shake, with Avocado, Limon juice and water, and I like it!
😂😂😂😂 your dry humor gets me every time!!! 🙌
4 minutes.
I throw in a half a lemon (yes, peel and all!) and sweeten with some allulose. That extra lemon zest is amazing!
I love kale shake... I put 1 ripe avocado 🥑 and half of lime chopped skin on... and a pinch of Himalayan salt... it’s delicious 😋 and very much filling
Half bag of Kale
Fill enough water to cover for 4 minutes
2-3 tsps Lemon juice
1 tsp Wheat grass powder
1 tsp electrolyte powder
1 tsp Coconut oil (organic cold pressed unrefined)
Mix all the ingredients in a powerful blender and enjoy 😊
A teaspoon or two or three lol love dr Eric berg 😂
Sara Sa That cracked me up too! Then ....lump....I think that was almost a 1/4 Cup ! 🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣
your free content videos shows how much hard work you put in for the sake of humanity.
Everyday at work I down in one go a litre of my Kale Smoothie made from:
2 handfuls of Kale
1/2 Handful of Purslane.
1 large banana
1 handful of blueberries
3 inches of cucumber (Sliced)
1 teaspoon of Spirulina.
2 teaspoons of Stevia.
Fill the rest with purified water.
I just made my first kale smoothie, tasted fine, ..........quite nice in fact.
kale, half a small banana, some frozen berries, half an avo, with some coconut cream to taste.. drank a small glass..an hour later I felt rough, went to bed for a couple of hours. I googled `I felt ill after a kale smoothie`
Should I be concerned about the references to THALLIUM CONTENT in Kale?
I do not get excited about machines - ANY machines. But. I must say the Vitamix blender is the only way to go. I finally bit the bullet, found a good used one on eBay, got it home, set it up, filled it and flicked it "on" and began to turn away to do something else...
But I could not! Instead I stopped and starred, mezmerized: quiet, almost a purr, immense power, carefully controlled... Vitamix is the jaguar of the blender kingdom
midnightchannel 😂😂😂
N it's 500 I'll pass.
Love my Vitamix and not all models are $500....and you can buy refurbished too . Warranty is long too, often 7 years (refurbished 5 years). You can do a lot more than a smoothie with a Vitamix. I paid a little over $400 for mine, but have been using it daily, sometimes 3 times (family of 6) . You can even make hot soups in some models, and even have a self cleaning function where you just need to add some water and a few drops of dish soap, use the "cleaning" function and it will clean itself (you avoid cutting your fingers on the blades this way!). Anyway, easy to dismiss the Vitamix brand due to high price but when you research it, you will soon understand why it isn't cheap, and worth it !
I use the Ninja and it’s perfect and cheaper than the Vitamix, and I add an avocado to make the drink smoother and tastier
Is this John Connor?
You're so real (and funny), it's refreshing! Please don't change.
I had bought the wheat grass and electrolytes powder from Dr. Berg beginner kit and I must say it gives a very strange taste to the smoothie, I couldn’t drink it so I had to return them and i think blending the kale with one lemon half cucumber and water has a better taste than adding the powders, sometimes I add avocado too.
Ok so I’ve been watching closely to videos for the past week regarding Keto.. I decided yesterday to start doing this.. I searched for the electrolyte powders online (since my husband also needs them in his water while Roofing) and seen they had them at GNC. I also purchased wheat grass powder from them too so I could get started right away. I came home and blended my frozen Kale in 2 different blenders. I added freshly squeezed lemon juice and added organic stevia since the wheat grass didn’t have any added flavor, and organic coconut oil... It tasted like grass lol 😆 after staining the chunks of kale and eating the chunks with some eggs.. i remembered to put in the electrolytes in my drink that had a lemon lime flavor... oh my gosh it made a HUGE difference. I was able to drink half of the 6 cup drink and my husband actually didn’t spit it out right away like the first try.. but I came to the conclusion that I’d rather use the same electrolytes and grass powder he uses here in the video.. Because they both had flavoring to make this so much better.. I can’t wait until my shipment comes in!! This is quicker and easier for me since I have twin girls (1yr old) and I don’t have to think of how to incorporate or consume all my veggies in one day
Can I drink one with my morning keto coffee? I only eat 2 times a day now aI LOST 7.6 lbs. in 2 days
I use spinach, frozen berries, fresh lemon juice, mango and some Milled flaxseed to thicken it slightly. First time I tried it I knew I had the right combination.
How mutch water do you add per gram of vegetable?
@@emirceylan8987 depends really how thick you like the smoothie, I generally put about 400ml of water.
My favorite smoothie is a big handful of fresh spinach or spinach / Baby kale, ice, tablespoon of flaxseed, half of a small avocado, almond milk, water, and a little less than half of a really ripe banana. I hate using the banana cuz of the sugar but I try to make that the only carbs I eat all day. It tastes so good with it!
Instead of lemon juice, just blend I/4 or 1/2 of whole organic lemon or lime.
I agree cinnamon, fresh ginger
no stevia.
I like the dog walking behind the scenes 😂
I love this video 😂
1/4 cup ACV, 1/4 cup olive oil, Italian seasoning, turmeric, ginger, pepper, salt, cinnamon, garlic powder, mustard powder, fresh squeezed lemon juice. Roughly about half a tsp of all spices. Tastes like Italian dressing. No sweetener needed. I do one shake a day and I feel great!
Nice one Dr Berg! I also use that coconut oil, not the cheapest but definitely one of the best around! I still like berries & banana with mine.
Hello Eatmoverest, I would greatly appreciate it if you would please tell me what brand of coconut oil you use that is the same one Dr. Berg is using. Thank you so much!
My smoothie is some frozen strawberries, a couple pieces of frozen banana, blueberries, milk, ground flax seed, ground chia, cinnamon, and a little cocoa powder with some whey protein powder. I drink it after working out then take a handful of raw spinach and just eat it.
Don't worry doc, my entire kitchen is stained with turmeric powder but it is indeed clean.
I couldn`t find raw wheat grass juice powder in my country. I used cactus flavored BCAA to add some sweetness or apple flavored creatine powder. When i`m not in the mood for coconut oil I add flax, chia, sunflower, pumpkin seeds. I don`t blend them too long it makes my kale shake super crunchy :) This is perfect meal for me I don`t feel heavy but sated at the same time.
My objective is staying full. This sounds good.
Thanks Dr. Berg your video has saved me from heart attack and many more help in health where have you been a big grateful thank you words cannot express my thankfulness
My pleasure! Very glad to be of help!
Tip: Costco has cold pressed, unrefined coconut oil in the Kirkland brand in an economical portion, 84 oz!
One other tip: If you don't have (or can't afford) a high-powered blender, blend up what you can w/ a run of a mill blender and then use a fine strainer to sift the kale chunks out. 🙂
I like your subtle sense of humor doc I love your videos I'm also trying the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting .thanks so much
I hope you washed that blender before using it. When it comes from the factory it has all sorts of junk on it including machine oil.
Isabeau Chantal don't got think that switch was just a gimmick, who had a spare blender right there on the counter?
Isabeau Chantal omg, first thing I thought too!
I know why he did that... The blender place gave him money for it... I see what you did there Berg.
Duh!!! welcome to marketing!!!
Machine oil has been shown to prevent all cause related death
"First thing we're going to do..." Dr. B, the first thing you should be doing is washing that new carafe. 😆
I love this recipe! I drink it in morning then add oil for my two meals later! Yummy😃
This is awesome and perfect timing! Just yesterday I was searching for your Kale drink recipe! I didn’t have all of the ingredients so I just used organic kale, fresh ginger root and lemon juice that I juiced with my juicer. Before adding the lemon and ginger I tasted the Kale. Yuck! You’re correct! It tasted horrible! Ha! Now, I just tried this and it tastes amazing! So grateful for you, all you’re doing for us, and for all of your recipes too! Thank you!
So thankful I can eat and like fresh raw kale... with some butter ...🌺😂
BTW - after juicing the kale, I literally used the remnants in my drink instead of wasting it and throwing it away. Very delicious!
Please put the recipe below your video
He did
Today’s the second time I’ve made this.. but it was the first time using Dr.Bergs Wheat grass & electrolytes.. it tastes waaaaay better this time .. my 1 year old twin girls aren’t letting me drink it because they’re fighting over it because they like it so much 👍🏽.. that is the main reason why I decided to live healthier.. if i am buying all organic for my girls, why not for me too? Right? I’ve been doing Keto for less than 2 weeks and am down 15lbs.. but I’m so happy that what I put on my plate or in my cup I can guilt free give to my babies
Dr. Berg can you please talk about fluoride in the water and what filter do you use for yourself and family. Do you also add any minerals back into your filtered water? Thanks so much.
Blissful One he drinks pellegrino
Blissful One we use gravity forced no electricity or 🔋 required an Alexapure water filter.
pellegrino tastes so gross! I just fill up a 2 litre pop bottle of filtered water and 2 big squirts of mio and I drink it in 2-4 hours. Not drank water today yet, BRB!!
Rain water hehe
Blissful One, try a berkey with the fluoride filters.
For smooth blending, I love my Magic Bullet.
Folks, I am giving Dr. Berg the benefit of a doubt and saying he PREWASHED the new blender cup before filming...
😂😂😂😂😂 I hope so
Same though crossed my mind 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who cares, he likes being silly.
I'm not sure he realized he could just start washing the old one...
I love the humor in this channel. Keep up the good content!
Aaaah! youre a dog dad!💜💜💜
i saw the little cutie walking in the background @ 4:44
I had to check ! Great eyes ! I missed that ! 😆.
I saw it too
Dr. Berg and viewers, get a Ninja Blender that has a smoothie setting. The smoothie setting prevents the foaming as it blends on and off automatically for 1 minute. Love your videos Dr. Berg YOU ARE A BLESSING to me 🙏🏼😘
Would be good to first wash the new blender
If you notice the box was opened prior to the video, its likely washed - no doubt Mrs. Berg made sure of that.
Its not a stretch to presume that the Dr Berg is thorough and health conscious. Did you want a video of a man washing a new blender or something?
Y’all have no life if that is important 😂😂😂
My best guess is lazy/didn't care or yes, he wanted to show the blender box. It could very well just be he thought it was the least important part of the video and wasn't worth editing or redoing the whole video over.
Joshua Mears I wonder :-)
this man helped me get my life back.listen to every word he has to say.☺🤗☺

What if you have an avocado in the shake instead of coconut oil?
would be delicious
@@user-nj1zu2nf1x lmao
I need to do this, I did notice that my berries have 14 g of sugar per serving 😬. I need a new blender too. Happy Keto!
Doc, you need the Nutri-Bullit machine. Everything gets mixed down to watery state in a few seconds. ♥️
Yes, I picked up their big boy blender, it makes life so easy.
If your knees are shaking your blood sugar be off.
@@cristilaye5912 uh, my legs or knees are not shaky at all. In case you were talking to me.
What a brilliant way to get your salad in every day.
Dr! Have you forgotten to wash your new blender? You just pulled that out from the box!
My first thought
4 minutes to blend kale and that's a good blender...
It takes me 30 seconds in my Vitamix to get it completely smooth and lump-free...
I have a Vitamix & mine does not come out smooth. If I blend to long, I get foam. Maybe I should blend a smaller batch.
Don’t you need to lightly steam the dark leafy greens (and brassicas) before consuming so you don’t irritate the guy with the protective chemicals they naturally have? I believe this is really important for those with leaky gut and those wanting to avoid it. Otherwise, this is one of the best videos I’ve found online, for low glycemic.👍🏻
You’re amazing you have an answer in a video to every question I have..brilliant thank you 🙏
I take kale,little Redmond salt,onion ,garlic.maybe little olive oil.delicious also.😮😊😊❤❤
That's great. Stay safe and healthy!
First thing you should have done is thoroughly clean or, at lease, rinse the new blender jug!
I use mct oil instead, and i add that in the beginning and it will stop it from foaming. I still add the powdered ingredients after I blend everything down though.
Hey Dr. Berg, got my first shipment from US Wellness Meats. The liverwurst tastes just like liverwurst but like you said, it's a bit different texture but still, grass fed liverwurst. Yaaaay! Thanks for the tip.
Spinach , kale, avocado, ice, almond milk, my usual shake, I’ll try this one
Powders powders powders... Wheres natural in that... Its sad to see this because vast majority of us cannot afford these powders etc and need cheap and practical alternatives
The electrolyte powder is the only 32 a month. I prefer you buy it in bulk because one thing last about 40 to 45 days so you get more for your money.
You don’t have to put the wheat grass in and the electrolyte powder he offers actually is cheaper than any others I’ve found (my husband works outside in the heat so I’ve searched high and low for a good alternative to making him drink baby Pedialyte) .. an alternative is maybe using the electrolyte powder every other use 👍🏽
If you will think of the good benefits of Electrolytes powder and wheat grass , 32$ -60$ /45 days for both is nothing.
Health is Wealth.
HII ppl have money to go eat out but are quick to complain when it comes to improving their health. smh
We live in a unnatural world, without forest anymore and you complain about powders? he is just making this shake even better, look up for your own alternatives
Delicious kale shake Dr berg
Dr. Berg, do you have any thoughts on blending vegetables too long and damaging the enzymes in the vegetables? Is that a thing? Thanks for your videos! Always helpful.
The damage to the enzymes that you are trying to avoid is caused by excessive heat that is caused by blending for a long time. In order to avoid excessive heat, pause the blender and add ice cubes before the sides of the blender start to warm up.
The risk of overheating also explains why Dr Berg told us that he freezes the kale (overnight, I imagine)
I'm avoiding stevia too. I'm avoiding sugar and sugar substitutes. I believe a little raw unfiltered organic honey is okay. But very little. I've been using organic lemons in place of sugar.
Dr. Berg is it okay to have full-fat Greek yogurt with blueberries in a smoothie or just fruit in general? I know you mentioned that fat and sugar are bad in combination
Dr. Berg, one thing you take for granted, that ALL kale shake recipes seem to take for granted, is that we want it sweet. We don't. I see it as a new veggie/fruit drink, not as a replacement for sweet drinks. I use zero sweetener but lots of fresh ginger and ingredients like radishes for a tart flavor or frozen pineapple (of you are OK with higher carb/calorie) for a light flavor, very fresh taste and scent for both.
(Using all frozen ingredients, except the finger, which is always fresh, also helps a lot with taste)
On the face of it, I love this new shake solution and will order the electrolyte powder so I can try it. One thing: I’m watching this on an iPhone and I don’t see the link to his free recipes as mentioned at end of the video. Can someone post it in the Comments, please?
reneethorpe he makes the drink right before your eyes, take notes! Lol
This man really didn’t have to flex on us with that second blender
You should do more cool videos like that 😎 we love ya Doc!!!
Get a vitamix. You would’ve been done in 45 seconds. Use dates for sweetener and it’s also protein, a little cinnamon to cut the sugar from the dates, an entire lemon. The lemon with the rind stimulates the kidneys and liver because of the bitterness but the dates balance the taste. You could’ve put all if the ingredients in at once with a Vitamix. They are a little pricey but they work well, last long, and do so much more than blend. 😊
would you get your daily potassium requirements from the kale shake recipe?
