I alternate the veggies with kale, cabbage, spinach, broccoli and broccoli sprouts but basically this week it's

1 cup of ff yogurt (plain)
1/2 cup aloe vera juice
1/4 cup frozen blueberries sometimes strawberries (higher antioxidents in BB)
5 cups of chopped veggies (this week it has been chards of color, mustard, collard and turnip greens, spinach and broccoli sprouts)
1/4 cup flax meal
1/8 cup coconut milk (this is new experiment)
1 tbs. peanut butter

I have a vita mix which I love. It purifies everything! My veggies for the rest of the day are "bonus" veggies which then is about 2 cups with dinner. Usually roasted mixed veggies w/olive oil.

Edwards20 · 03-22-2007, 07:13 PM

What does it taste like ??? What is the primary taste ? Texture ?
Sounds

No offense to fawn

5 cups of veggies ? How much does it make ? Sorry, I am just nosey like that ....

fawn · 03-23-2007, 09:51 AM

Hey there.....
taste: DH says tolerable......I say cool, veggie/berry kind of thick......I love it now! I really miss it when I don't have it.
texture: creamy

Candy.....it usually makes about 2 quarts....one for DH and one for me. It does end up being about 5 cups of veggies each.

Its very hard to describe.....it's unlike anything else you would normally eat. I kind of cut off my supplements when I started doing this. It also gives me all of the green nutrition I need for the day. I do eat veggies every night with dinner but should I choose not to, I'm still ahead of the game.

DiamondDeb · 03-23-2007, 10:07 AM

Oh, this has me interested! I've always wondered about the possibility of a veggie shake.

I'm going to have to experiment a bit & try a version with protein powder added to make a complete meal. Maybe add a little Stevia...or is this something that you think is better less sweet?

The Eades have something called Paleolithic Punch that uses blueberries, strawberries & raspberries to make a great anti-oxidant drink.

Would frozen broccoli work I wonder?

telemetrynurse · 03-23-2007, 10:12 AM

Hmmm....interesting thanks for sharing! I love the idea of getting so many healthy foods into a meal!

Can someone please tell me how the aloe vera juice tastes? I've never seen it anywhere. Is it available at whole foods market? I'm gonna do a google on the health benefits of aloe vera juice. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration!

scb1988 · 03-23-2007, 11:00 AM

Hmmmmm obviously not for the weak of stomach

aloe vera juice alone tastes like plastic to me. In my shake, bonine.

micki641 · 03-23-2007, 08:34 PM

This sounds very interesting......Do you think a regular blender would work or maybe a food processor??????

I used a regular blender while traveling in December. A food processor is a great idea to break up the veggies and then transferring to a blender.

scb1988 · 03-24-2007, 10:07 AM

Wal mart has aloe vera juice by the gallon near the laxatives.

The veggies...raw or cooked?

whitelighter1968 · 03-24-2007, 10:26 AM

Just bought my 1 gallon of aloe.. gotta get the yogurt and then away I go.

Sandra Barnet · 03-24-2007, 04:53 PM

I couldn't imagine drinking this shake.

Hoops · 03-24-2007, 09:03 PM

Oh, so healthy!

There are a lot of great blended drinks to try.

I also have a Vita-Mix, and I absolutely love that machine. My son uses a small Tri-something or other that makes one glass of a blended drink. It was like $50 and so not worth it. The Vita-Mix is expensive, but it is worth every penny IMHO.

fawn · 03-25-2007, 09:30 AM

Love my vita mix! I've used it every day for 5 years.

HolyHottie · 03-25-2007, 09:36 AM

OK Fawn. I'm makin' this baby today. I don't have yogurt, but I'll use my plain kefir. Should I prepare myself for any bathroom surprises, since I'm a "Fawn's Jolly Green Goo Poo" virgin?

You're drink was so-named by my DH. Thought you'd appreciate it.

fawn · 03-25-2007, 09:41 AM

You crack me up!! Should I be flattered? Will you thank me for a healthy clean colon later?

Kefir is an awesome replacement for yogurt! Enjoy and tell me what you think!

Ok, Timothy and Holy ... tell me what you think. Did you make it ?

PalmTreeGal · 03-31-2007, 04:15 PM

I don't think I could pay my DH to drink this!

Saphire1010Girl · 04-03-2007, 01:45 PM

So has anyone tried this? Is it good?
Fawn do you drink this all day and then have dinner at night?

It's very good! I drink it in the morning well mid morning I should say after my workout. If I don't work out and have ameeting, I take it to work and drink it slowly there. I usually eat 3 times a day. I had my shake so late today that I just ate a deviled egg now and will have chicken sesame stirfry for dinner.

mermaid · 04-04-2007, 09:10 AM

I have yet to try this, but for maximum antioxidants for less sugar, I think I will use goji/acai/mangosteen/noni juice instead of berries, and fewer veggies. I'm diabetic,and any more than 5-6 grams carbs raises blood sugar too much.

Thanks for the recipe, can't wait to give it a go. Hope it works in my cheapie blender.

Gibbs · 04-04-2007, 09:36 AM

OK, as nasty as this sounds, I have to try it! I think I will half the batch to start. My only stupid question, are the vegy's raw or cooked/steamed?

Gibbs

fawn · 04-04-2007, 09:38 AM

always raw, always fresh. I've never used frozen veggies

WildflowerMama · 04-10-2007, 06:07 PM

You know, this wasn't so bad! I was really surprised! This is what I did based on what I had on hand:
2 egg yolks
1 scoop whey protein
1/4 c Flax Meal
1/4 C Coconut Cream
1 C Spinach
1 C Broccoli
1T Peanut Butter
50g Acai

I had to add a lot of water to get it to blend but it's actually not bad. I wouldn't say it's chocolate mousse but it's certainly tolerable. For those of you on the fence, give it a try. Truly, it's not that bad.

Here's the nutritional breakdown for what I did. Mine was 32 ounces:
Calories:618
Fat: 43
Sat: 13
Carbs: 24
Fiber: 13
Protein: 41

Carbs are a bit high for me but I'll have to see how I do. I'm in the midst of a very annoying stall so I'm hoping this helps

could a person use the powderd organic greens?
