Default Re: Giving raw food a shot

Hey there! Just wanted to say that zucchini's are really good smoothie ingredients. They blend well with sweet things like strawberries and bananas, and help you get some extra green packed in there.

Also, for protein, throw some good peanut butter into your chocolate banana shake. IT MAKES IT SO GOOD!

I lived off of veggie/fruit smoothies for an entire summer (for the most part, it would equal my breakfast and lunch because I would make a lot... then eat dinner with my family.) That's the best health I was in that I can remember.

Hard to continue, now that I live with roommates. I think the blender has collected dust

edit: Also I don't recommend freezing or refrigerating the smoothie unless you plan on finishing the rest of it in a few hours... especially when its heavy on the greens... it REALLY starts to congeal. you may have to end up choking it down. Fruit smoothies at least freezes a little better, and can be a cool treat, but honestly I think everything is best consumed fresh!
