Green smoothies are power-packed and yummy! I usually make mine with milder greens like lettuce or spinach, + coconut water + pear, banana, + whatever fresh or frozen fruit I have on hand. Oh and blueberries. Must have blueberries!
I usually juice my kale and drink a shot of it. Intense! Then I do my carrots, cucumbers, more greens, etc.
I'm not totally raw like Pickle though, at least not yet. I'm working on it! I'm finding myself less and less interested in even delicious vegan foods, and more interested in raw foods. I'm kinda flowing with it at this point. I just feel so much better, so much lighter, when I eat raw!
And green juice is such an energizer!

Hmmm...interesting.

Do you muscle test every day? I rarely do. Just when I have a problem I'm trying to figure out.
I just got a large shipment of chia seeds and I plan to make some chia pudding! They're great to add to the smoothies too.
I'm doing a lot of savory veggies stews. Some days, the only cooked food I have is a baked potato I add to the stews. I'm not planning to give that up any time soon.

I'm not really an expert on it. I've gotten too many mixed results. Pickle or Namaste can probably answer better than I can.
