I drink at least one every day (with greens in it) I like to drink two, and some food usually for my snacks and lunch. But I try really hard to eat a raw diet. Quinoa is the exception, as it does get boiled. Gee, what a wonderful source of protein. Have you ever used whey protein? Just asking, I am 5 foot 5 and I weigh 130 pounds, and I need 70 grams of protein a day. I rely on they whey isolate to help me get 26 grams of the protein. True, it is used by athletic people for muscle recovery, but it is a wonder source of branch chain amino acids, impossible to get from a supplement, and your body needs it. I usually put it into my morning shake....(but I do my gym work out in the morning). Keep coming back. Glad to give you tips. Your post made me smile.

green smoothie life
Morning YB, everyone,
YB great sharing with the new folks on the thread...Kat, remember to watch the beginners video I suggested its easy and full of information as well. For folks that may be allergic to dairy, as I am, there are dairy free protein powders, organic, and green veggie powders as well also organic. Well, I'm far from home and am having a wonderful time with very loving kids that, guess what?! They love green smoothies! Really smart kids too, taking me shopping to their favorite health food store smiling. What a great surprise...one of the kids won't touch meat imagine that...sharp sharp kids. So, this morning's smoothie, everything is Organic folks unless mentioned otherwise... bananas (of course for creamy sweet ) blueberries spinach walnuts protein powder a bit of soy milk (Silk brand) H2O/Ice simple, and delicious enjoy your Sunday folks, Greco

Smashing the Chickpeas is a little time consuming but it's well worth it. When I make this for lunch most people think it looks like tuna salad.
Vegetarian Chickpea Sandwich Filling Ingredients 1 (19 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed 1 stalk celery, chopped 1/2 onion, chopped 1 tablespoon mayonnaise 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon dried dill weed salt and pepper to taste Directions Drain and rinse chickpeas. Pour chickpeas into a medium size mixing bowl and mash with a fork. Mix in celery, onion, mayonnaise (to taste), lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper to taste.

Hey Everyone !
This afternoon I had cleaned and made 2 bunches of collard greens. No meat, I used lots of garlic ( minced ) and some olive oil to sautee the garlic in . Them added the greens to cook slowly, so I had some brn rice about 1/2 cup. I admit I was somewhat hungry today . But that satisfied me. Now I'm getting ready to make a fresh fruit smoothie with banana and pineapple, berries, and some PB. Good evening to everyone .... btw I feel great so far

Hey Kat.....(thats Pittsburgh for Hi)
I eat mostly raw......but and but is the key word here, I have trouble feeling satisfied with hunger, and then I do crazy things like eat 12 peaches.....I am a vegetarian, only because I do not like meat. I especially hate to smell it cook or tear it off a bone. However, I will not *die* if I eat a piece. I do eat dairy, but not alot. Especially milk. Just trying to explain to you my eating habits.....so if I say I used whey (vegans do use whey, it's dairy) or I had yogurt/again X to a vegan, you'll understand. I love garlic......in a green smoothie, its actually a little sweet.

Health nut, in regards to my own health, I am....nutritionist, I am not. If you are a diabetic, you are eating too much fruit (thats sugar too)...more veggies girl! Pineapple is very sweet, be careful with that. (although it has a ton of wonderful enzymes and fiber) but you have to watch your sugar. I know nothing about lactose. I just do not like milk. The internet is a wonderful tool. I don't use powders, greco does. I only use b pollen, scroll through the thread, and read why I use b pollen.

MMM.. I was a lacto ovo veggie for 10 years, vegan for a few as well. Though I seem to want to eat chicken from time to time, veggies and fruits and soy products have my heart. I can just about break down in tears when I see really fresh organic produce piled up... Subscribing... Will toss in any tried and true recipes if I can find them, lost a bunch on the last move. Meh.
