Wonderful! Thanks for clearing this up. Jeez, it can be so confusing to know what’s right. I switched to blended green smoothies (in a Blendtec) a few years ago and love them! But then I read Natalie Rose’s book and she suggests juicing.

But I tend to lean more the direction of taking the whole plant in, well digested. That makes the most sense to me.

Glad you have a great helpful blog. I write one too and enjoy how it shares.

Thanks again!

I threw out my juicer, it was such a hot mess. Now I like to blend blue berries, black berries and dark cherries or raspberries, organic baby spinach (a ton of it in one blend) celery and cucumber and two heaping scoops of my green powder with algae’s among other greens. It took a lot of swelling off of me in a matter of days and when I have a cold I add cayenne pepper to it to the point its pretty darn hot and I suffer through but I can’t tell you how good I feel when I blend daily. I try to do more greens than berries because I do have high blood sugar but I also have a thyroid problem which disables weight loss pretty much. So far, a short yoga work out and two of these smoothies almost daily make my skin look fantastic, my energy boost and I just feel so much better. If more people tried this and drove past the fast food death traps, America would be a lot better off lol.

I am so excited about getting my blend on! I have been doing a lot of reading on how the body digests food and how blending and making soups help with the “HUNGER MONSTER”. Robyn I enjoyed your blog. I am on a mission to loose some fat!!!! Bless you!

BlendTec’s machine keeps a low temperature so you don’t have a nutrient loss from temperature.

about blending, don’t the heat and friction result in the loss of nutrients or vitality of the plant? i thought the whole idea was to go slow and cool to preserve all the good stuff.

It never occurred to me that I didn’t need a juicer… Ath the moment I’m drinking a thick, pulpy glass of carrot and apple… well, I wouldn’t call it juice, but I’m drinking it anyway. I plan on purchasing a breville in the next few weeks, I’ve heard good things. In the meantime, I’ll be blending my veggies. Thanks for the info! I went in the kitchen and made this as soon as I saw your demo video.
