• apples are generally hard to “cream up.” something softer like a pear, banana or mango might be easier on your blender. glad it’s working better!

  in Green smoothie or salad? Comment by pianissima
• salads are awesome and you should feel great about eating them, but here’s why GSs are recommended as well: 1) OPTIMUM nutrient availability—our jaws have developed poorly due to decades of malnutrition from cooked and innapropriate foods. so, we do…

• yes that’s a lot of sugar. if you feel you need to eat fruit till 3pm then switch in some low-sugar ones like cucumber, tomato, zucchini. honestly, i felt this way too when i was trying out the “eat all the fruit you want till dinner, or till you fe…

• ok. SOLD on the prill beads. how much should i buy? thanks so much for this info, even though it was a little disappointing at first. =)

• simplyraw—my understanding of it was that the minerals in water were useless to our bodies since they don’t come from plants… just like the copper on our pipes being useless, if not harmful. i doubt the lemon is making it more acidic since lemon act…

• sarm—i started doing that when i quit wine this week. i love it! it seems to be great for digestion. sometimes i mix it up with some jalepeno pepper, lemon and ginger in the blender with ice and strain.

• unfortunately the USA is not part of the olive oil convention (as i recently learned), so “extra virgin” and “cold pressed” don’t necessarily mean anything. it’s best to call the company, but i was lucky enough to find the most delicious ORGANIC and…

• have any of you ever seen “mind walk” or read anything by frijof capra. his philosophy, which sort of touches upon chris calton’s “recycling isn’t doing much” idea, is that for there to be change you can’t just change one thing. you have to change t…

• i make mine not very sweet by using 1/2 lime, 1/2 grapefruit and 1/2 mango with lots of greens. if you like things tart like me, all citrus works really nicely too. use an orange instead of the mango.
