comparing juicing to greensmoothies are bit of a false economy tho..
i tried doing a green smoothie detox.. well, i made it 10 days, but every day was a complete struggle.. a whole pitcher of GS was only like 600 calories.. so to even be above starvation, i would need to get 2 of them down.. it was near impossible.. and i always felt hungry.
where as with juice, more calories per juice, much easier to get above starvation.. and i am good for at least 4 hours..
they are different beasts.
once i am doing with the detox, i think i will start combining them though, i dont feel you get enough value out of juicing greens like Kale or Spinach, and just blending them with fresh juice would be a ideal solution.
- dont get me wrong, greensmoothies are also awesome. but juicing is like crackautoflavour
- its sooooooo goodautoflavour

so yep, been doing a juice fast the last 17 days.
its been really good. doing a 1 month detox from alcohol, weed and refined sugar before helped a lot with the transition.the only downside, apart from the cost of going thru that much fresh produce, is the need to be able to get enough time to juice and clean the juicer 5 times a day.
i tried juicing all in the morning, but the evening ones always tasted a bit funny..
but on the upside, i have lost 7kg now.. my skin is super clear and generally i feel so much better.. but its hard to tell how much of that is the juice and how much of that is the lack of hangover/stoneover..
its super hard with christmas at the moment, so many things where there are so much good food and alcohol..
but at the same time, i figure if i can make it thru this, it will be good.
im aiming for 20 days, then between xmas and new years wind it back a bit.. then start again in the new year..
- every day it gets easier until it becomes second naturealbums
- yeah, its pretty much auto pilot at the moment..autoflavour
- that said, i do eat the occasional tomato.. or a few nuts.. so its not a complete juice only.. but like 99%autoflavour
- I use a hand blender and throw it in the dishwasher or even just rinse it quickly afterwardsset
- Hand blender works surprisingly wellset
- I also believe that the stress of hardcore detox can be damaging as well. Relax at Christmas broset
- i'm about to embark on a ten-dayscarabin

thanks for that recipe hombre...think I'm gonna look into getting some barley grass powder...
- V welcome dude. I only just discovered it and I'm still amazed!Hombre_Lobo

Green barley grass powder -
http://www.myprotein.com/sports-…Believed to be seven times richer in Vitamin C than oranges, five times richer in iron than spinach and ten times richer in calcium than milk. High in protein too. It's an antioxidant too, and contains loads more vitamins not listed here.
The nutritional content can vary in terms of the powders quality, but overall it's ridiculously good.
- wow. gotta look into thatscarabin
- Yeh it's pretty impressive stuff. I still need to learn more about it though.Hombre_Lobo

I'm all about the blended smoothies
My breakfast most days is -
Half a cup if mixed berries
1 banana
Tea spoon of green barley grass (this shit is like some super super food, i link to it in the next post)
Cup of oats (Scott's porridge oats)
Desert spoon of peanut butter (sunpat - no palm oil!)
And about 400ml of milk. (I like semi skimmed)Fucking delicious!
They are rough measures though, I just do it by eye.I occasionally through in some whey protein if it's near a training day, but the acidic fruit break down whey protein really quick so it's kinda wasteful.
- Nice apart from the oats and cow juice. Barley grass is great stuff indeed !set
- i'll try this with a coconut milk subscarabin
- You don't drink milk? Why is that? I love milk :D
I also like coconut milk though.Hombre_Lobo

also the juicing vs blending debate is all over the net..
from what i can tell the 2 main arguments areJuicing is just the nutrients and is more of a shot of energy, but the energy doesnt last as long..
where as blending, doesnt have the same nutrient content as it uses way less produce, but the fibre helps regulate the blood sugar.
a whole pitcher of smoothie is about 500-600 calories and is 4-5 large glasses. I did a smoothie detox a month ago or so and lost 9kg in 10 days..
granted a bunch of that would have been water retention, but i have kept most of it off..
Spinach, Cucumber, mixed berries, apple and lemon.. and some ice to make it cold..
so much win.
- the first 3 day were the hardest tho.. cant tell if it was the lack of weed or the lack of caffeine. probably bothautoflavour
- tip: skip the ice, freeze blocks of cucumber instead.omg

i have been doing green smoothies the past few months..
mainly as juicers are expensive and juicing goes thru so much produce..that said, you will be surprised how good things taste that you wouldnt expect to work together.

If you think about it, the blending opinions aren't BS. Milk and juices are pasteurised to increase their shelf-life, so heat does have an effect on them. That's the reason for press vs rotary as the latter generates heat. It's not BS but some health guru trying to 'own' the knowledge of a negligible difference.
