I never would have thought of growing sprouts and using them in a green smoothy. (I feel kind of dumb saying that but I’ll say it anyway, ‘cuz it’s true!) Thanks for the idea. I just ordered a Vitamix last night and I can’t wait to start using it.

Maire: Excellent question. I would say that I have not been on it long enough to know yet. I am guessing the first effect I will see is some weight loss but I have not been measuring that (do not want to be obsessive!). I can say that I noticed a difference (to the better) after my first green smoothie – my GI elimination became much more healthy (as in not constipated – something I dont especially like talking about but its huge in our lives right?)

I have other health concerns that will not turn around right away – relates to degenerative conditions ..

AND – another thing that I have not been able to change yet is my use of coffee – this is one of my goals – once I have beaten that I think my energy levels will really benefit.

Sorry for the dump of info! Just thought I would answer best I could.

Judith, Thanks for your kind words! Please let me know how it goes for you. Even if you have larger pieces of kale leaf, the flavor is still sweet if you add the fruits. Still VERY do-able.

Ohh, Nika,

It looks delicious. Of course, your photography is impeccable!

Now, I don’t have a VitaMix and with current circumstances being the way they are, I won’t be able to get one for awhile. In the meantime, I am downloading the page and will try some of this. I may have to do with unpureed bits in the meantime.

Thanks so much. Will definitely reTweet this!
