I love mexican and I'm addicted to garbonzo beans so this was great for me.<BR/><BR/>My favorite green smoothie is 1 frozen banana, 1 cup unsweetened soy milk, 1/2 cup dried cherries, 1 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries, and 1 cup frozen chopped spinach. When it's really smooth add 2 tablespoons raw cocoa powder. I'm addicted to these too!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03057638606569343024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25386178.post-27675599211455847262007-05-09T21:30:00.000-04:002007-05-09T21:30:00.000-04:00Oh yeah nightowl.

Of course, as you can tell from that ranking thing there on the first page, the General Tao Tofu recipe seems to be king of the hill over there. ;o)<BR/><BR/>I hope you find that book as inspiring as I did veganluv. I just kept thinking the whole time I was reading it, "Why has no one ever told me about this? Why don't doctors tell people about this?"<BR/><BR/>I really don't even use any recipes. I usually just put in whatever fruit I have (usually grapes, an apple, some pineapple and a banana), a Tbsp of flax seed, a Tbsp of oatmeal, 2 cups of water, and then finish filling the conatiner with greens. So far, Kale is my favorite green for smoothies. Then I blend it a little bit so it condenses down and then stop the mixer and add some MORE greens and then let the mixer run for the whole cycle. On the Blendtec, I've found that the WHOLE JUICE cycle works the best for me.<BR/><BR/>2 cups of water, some fruit, some greens and 1 Tbsp. each of flax seed & oatmeal is just the basic recipe that I go by.<BR/><BR/>WARNING! I don't know if everybody knows this except me, but I didn't. If you make a smoothie and just use collard greens as your greens, it will BURN YOU UP. I didn't know collard greens were "spicy" like that. They might be good mixed with some other greens, but alone, they are REALLY HOT and will make your mouth & throat burn like FIRE.<BR/><BR/>I am curious about some of the savory green smoothie recipes in the book. I would like to try some of those eventually.<BR/><BR/>I hadn't thought of that melanie. Now that you mention it, these would be really good for breakfast. GOOD IDEA!<BR/><BR/>:o)kennyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107292286081957434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25386178.post-74822238517659141622007-05-09T13:38:00.000-04:002007-05-09T13:38:00.000-04:00that filling sounds really good. my older daughte...that filling sounds really good. my older daughter is a mexican food lover and also a garbanzo bean lover. i bet i could make a batch of that, roll it in tortillas and freeze them and she'd love them for breakfast in the morning. that might be a good way to get her to stop eating so much useless cereal.Ms. Meanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15536346226067009688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25386178.post-6649529294155475162007-05-09T08:10:00.000-04:002007-05-09T08:10:00.000-04:00Hi Ken:I've been away from my computer for a few d...Hi Ken:<BR/><BR/>I've been away from my computer for a few days and am now just playing catch up. After reading the information on your green smoothies, I decided to order the "Green for Life" book on Amazon. I already do fruit smoothies but this would be a great way to get raw greens in every day. Do you have any good recipes for green smoothies you've come up with yourself? Thanks for all the good info.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25386178.post-30652869214733568432007-05-08T14:56:00.000-04:002007-05-08T14:56:00.000-04:00Thanks for the VegWeb tip!
