Hi Kat, welcome to the thread.....
I don't exactly rotate my greens. I use them until they are gone. You just buy small quanities at first.
Jennifer (scroll down) is also just starting out. This is really easy to do. I use my blender.
If I was to offer a suggestion for basic, I'd say start with spinach, sugar free apple sauce (with or with out cinnamon)bananna's, frozen berries (any kind, blue berries if you can find them BUT ALL BERRIES ARE GOOD), and good yougurt. (I use the one with the big number 7 on it, and I use plain). I don't use low fat, becuase you need a little bit of fat in your diet..
This is basic! And once you master this, you can add on as you go along.
I put a glob of yougurt into the blender (I'm not big on measuring) I just dump. and another splash of the applesauce. (later you will use applesauce you'll make your self, or just use whole apples with the cores removed)
Always use a whole bananna. (When I buy my bananna's, I peel them ahead of time,put one bananna into a cheap ole flip top sandwich baggie, and freeze the banannas) add some berries a hand full of bagged spinach
and either water or ice cubes and turn the blender on for about a minute. The sound will change dramatically when its ready for you! It's that simple.
You'll be shocked how delicious this is. The more you do it, the more you
be willing to experiment. There are good tips in here (posted) for other things to make simple smoothies. You can accumulate as you go along.
If you like the shakes, you will.
I always have spinach, celery, cilantro.....and i grow bean sprouts in 4 window boxes..... I strongly recommend b complex powder.....but if you take a b vitamin, for now that will work.
Just jump in here, and follow along, we'll help you as you go.
You will notice I posted, any smoothie I have concockted that had a bananna in it, I liked. Don't be afraid to experiment. Fresh food completely changes your metabolism.
