I love this smoothie - and all the smoothies that Victoria Boutenko has in her

various

books!

Thanks for posting this!

 

I've tried the kale and apple together and love it, and my kids love it too.

However, I don't put any water in the VitaMix - you really don't need it if you

use the pusher to help the VitaMix blend everything. I think adding to much

water to the mixture may interfere with digestive juices. I'm not sure and

would like to hear what others know about this. I drink the smoothie without

straining.

 

I will try the smoothie with the lemon to see how things change in terms of

taste.

it's recommended that no more than one cup of water is consumed during a

meal, if any at all, because of dilution of digestive juices. but this is a

very hard habit for me to break.

 

combining lemon with greens often helps to cut the bitterness that can make

it unappetizing. this is especially true with wheatgrass.

I only add water to smoothies if the fruit has a low water content -

like bananas. Sometimes I add a stalk of celery instead of the water -

I would rather get " live " water than tap added to a smoothie. I

never drain a smoothie - that would take all the fun out of it:)
