I like that idea. I am going to try. It is so hard for me to live just eating raw.

Blending is the best way to maximize nutritional uptake while keeping food costs and preperation time down to a minimun.Whole food juicing is taught at all the healing retreats and should be a part of everyones lifestyle.I prefer green smoothies but will splerge on a fruit smoothie every once in a while.I really like blending radish,celery,parsley,brown flax and kelp for a morning jolt of energy.There are days where I consume only smoothies but I really like sprout sandwiches as well.Glad to here things are well with you Wheatgrass Yogi.

You look nice and slim. What has your diet plan been like to date?

I don't know. I think eating well balanced healthy food is the best option, but nothing wrong w/ adding in the fruit and green smoothies too. Just my thoughts.

I especially liked the one on 'chewing'. Just because one drinks Smoothies, doesn't mean the teeth aren't being used. I salivate like one of Pavlov's Dogs during mealtime.
I like to alternate my smoothies between Fruit and Green, one day having 2 Fruit and 1 Green, and the next day 2 Green and 1 Fruit. I've found the best Hunza sun-dried Apricots from Jaffe Brothers. Some of you might want to try them. They're expensive, but Out-of-This-World. I also use their Turkish Figs. My favorite Green Smoothie consists of mixed greens, walnuts, carrots, celery, broccoli, and lots of Tomato......WY
P.S. You'll need a good Blender if you prepare Smoothies. I've tried a lot of different blenders (Waring, Blendtec, and Vita-Mix) and the best I've found is the Vita-Prep 3 (by Vita-Mix), Model #1005.
