Green smoothies are made in a high speed blender NOT a juicer. Jucing is ok but you lose the fiber when you juice. When making green smoothies you want the fiber to remain in the smoothie.

Juicing removes the fiber. You can save the fiber to use in other ways if you choose to juice. I used to juice everything until I began the research on the raw food way of life. Now, I find that I was tossing out the best part, the fiber.

Of course, when juicing you should save all the pulp for your compost for an organic garden. Even if you are just growing herbs.

You can add vegetable pulp to a meatloaf to make it power-packed. You can also freeze the pulp for up to one month. Although it is not recommended that you save the pulp from:
Cabbage
Lettuce
Greens
Potatoes
Onions
Garlic
Mangoes
Papaya
Berries
Cherries
Melons

Green Smoothies Rock!

Why? Ounce for ounce, green foods have the most powerfully healing properties of any food. They’re packed with chlorophyll, the plant equivalent of hemoglobin in the human body’s red blood cells. Many studies document that green foods protect us against cholesterol, high blood pressure, and cancer—and they strengthen our immune system. Consuming chlorophyll gets rid of bad breath and internal odors and mops up free radicals. Green foods are the most important ones in our diet, and they’re also in scant supply in most families’ menus.

You probably already knew that you need to buy green foods—you’re aware that you want alkalinity in your body’s cells, tissues, and fluids to combat the acids of refined foods, pollution, stress, and so much more. When I say green foods, I’m talking about young cereal grasses and algaes/sea vegetables that have much greater nutrient density than green vegetables like peas and lettuce. The megaherz of energy in green foods can be found nowhere else. Powdered greens can have up to 60 mghz of electrical energy, compared to chicken and beef’s energy of 2 mghz (which is the same measured energy of a cancerous tumor, by the way). A really great greens-food product has so much energy it literally jumps off the measuring spoon.
