new green drink 2

I know it's only been a few days since I started my green smoothy regimen but I thought it important to note a few things before I move on to something else.

The choice of blender is important.  I started with a Back To Basics blender, which left me a little disappointed.  Although this machine looked really futuristic and high tech, it wasn't and was barely able to liquefy half a batch.  I ended up with chunks of kale that wouldn't break down after 5 minutes blending on high.  Straining this stuff is more work than I originally intended.  This morning I chose an Osterizer and the difference was night and day.  It took two minutes to completely liquefy the frozen kale and parsley.  This is the same Osterizer I use to make 20 minute tinctures like coffee extract, heart tonic, and any other fluid concoctions I can dream up.

Would I be better off with a juicer?  All a juicer does is separate the solids and I wanted the whole plant, fiber and all.  For this reason, I'll most likely never use my juicer again.  If anyone wants a perfectly good juicer, it's yours for the asking.

The physical advantages of this mix is impressive.  Twenty minutes after the first drink, I feel on top of the world.  It's already 85 degrees with high humidity and I feel like someone dropped a little meth in my coffee.  I mean, I feel great.  The heat and humidity is a non-issue.  Mentally, just as good.  This weekend is supposed to be the hottest, most uncomfortable couple of days of the year.  All I can think is, bring it on, baby!

I did this drink for three days, skipped yesterday and resumed this morning.  I could definitely feel a difference.  Yesterday I was miserable from start to finish.  I was sweating like a pig and everything was a chore.  Sunlight hurt and I felt like I was underwater.  The one day I was totally miserable was the day I skipped the green drink and I didn't have the mental capacity to realize it.

The nutrient profile of kale is good but isn't enough to produce such dramatic results.  Adding parsley is just more of the same.  It must be the massive dose of potassium that did it and the kale/parsley/stevia mix made it more palatable to keep it down without puking.  No doubt, all that fiber helped to carry it through my system to produce not only an excellent liver detox but a full body tonic.

Sounds like this stuff is a real game changer.

You're welcome.
