One question

by Robyn on August 17, 2009 in Raw Food, recipes with 3 Comments Tweet

Hi,

I am new to the site and new to green smoothies and of course have one big question. So here it is:

I have been doing green smoothies for 2 weeks but I am sure if I am using the right combination of ingredients :

3.5 onces of spinach or/and kale

2 handfuls of almonds or walnuts

2 tbsp of flax seed ground or coconut oil

2 cups of water or fresh coconut water

2 scoops for whey protein or yogurt

2 scoops of acai powder

2  cup of berries or other fruit like mango or papaya, etc

1 banana

The blender jar will be full when I am done and I drink half of it for breakfast and give my mom the other half for breakfast too.

Is it to heavy for breakfast?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you

Robyn

   That sounds like a wonderful smoothie, very nutritious, and breakfast should be your biggest meal, ideally (dinner the smallest–we have it backwards in America).

   My one suggestion is that if you feel you need extra protein, use hemp or SunWarrior’s fermented brown rice protein powder rather than whey (see The China Study–or read my book review).

   Hi Robin
   Do we use hulled or unhulled hempseeds?
   Tks

   robyn, can you direct me to your review of the china study? i want to see your discussion of why whey is bad. i’ve been told that it’s a great source of glutiathone, but im weary of taking in any dairy. and am especially have to avoid estrogenic foods. thanks
