I always keep a variety of fresh veggies and frozen fruit around. Between my juicer and blender I make my own green drinks and protein shakes. Depending on the meal or situation, I add protein powder, L-glutamine, spirulina, Udo’s or flax oil, aloe vera and maybe one or two other supplements. Bananas, ginger, lemons, and limes are great additions. Next up: wheatgrass grinder Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

...hey, what's the nutritional value behind aloe vera in smoothies? I'm only familiar with aloe freshly cut as a first aid treatment | |

Taken internally it has tons of minerals and amnio acids and aids digestion. Actually, it should be taken alone or with water but I’ve been guilty of mixing it in a few times. You just have to make sure you get one that has been processed in such a way that it doesn't lose it's potency. [Edited 4/24/08 8:33am] Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

SexGod said: Anything in a bottle, such as that green drink in the top pic, is pasturized and has very little nutrition, and a whole lot of sugar. This won't do you any good. You must blend your smoothie with FRESH greens, then throw a couple of bananas in it, which will make it sweet, and drinkable, then add more and more nutrition.
My personal smoothie everyday is this: Water from one young thai coconut spoon the meat from the coconut and put in blender FRESH greens of your choice (kale, spinich, etc.) hemp seeds dulse kelp powder spirulina msm bananas stevia spoonful of green powder (like berry green) hemp seed OIL gel from one aloe vera leaf just throw as much nutrition into your blender as you can and add fruits to sweeten. The end. I recommend reading this book: Clit Boy, is that you? The Normal Whores Club | |

Girl, I got so many random ass kitchen appliances, I'm just all out of room to find space for a juicer, even though I REALLY want one. I just make a pitcher of orange juice every couple days with an electric citrus juicer from Bosch. These mofos have the nerve to charge 2,55 Euro for a half a liter of fresh orange juice at the store over here: that's FOUR dollars for a glass orange juice ?! ...I'm creeping towards wanting a juicer so I can get my vitamin on, but lawd, the SPACE issues ! I did just notice, like Imago mentioned, at my juice bar, they DO add either apple or kiwi to the green juice combinations, which sounds kind of yummy,so I'm getting intrigued now If I can help it, I will NEVER own a juicer! That's cold that it's so expensive over there I routinely buy TJ's fresh squeezed Tangerine juice for $6 per half gallon, still pricey to me but the flavor is SO worth it. It's about to go out of season too, I have 6 in my fridge right now | |
