Oh boy. YUCK. Apparently in order to turn salad into a smooth liquid, you need a Vitamix. I half drank, half chewed my smoothy. The taste was great, but the texture was a solid NO.
I want to use use up the ingredients I bought, so I'm having smoothies and the green is matcha only.
I tried it though! I also learned that while lemon is acidic outside the body, it metabolizes to an alkaline substance in the body. Also, all the ingredients of the green drink are designed to be alkaline in your system.
P.S. Pet peeve - it doesn't change the pH levels of your blood .... blood is TIGHTLY regulated (7.35-7.45). It bugs me when people say is turns your blood acidic or alkaline -- not possible.
My guess is this will be a few days of using things up and the smoothy will go away. Maybe I'd be convinced to try a green drink (from powder form) if Whole30 recommends one. I did one years and years ago on recommendation of Tony Robbins - it was like eating grass clippings! I eat tons of veggies, but probably not enough green leafy ones.
Yesterday's run was good - my legs are tired today. The Farmer's Market was the best one in weeks. I got some major loot - candles made by a 9 year old (fantastic scent choices), turmeric/ginger/lime juice (amazing), dog treats, cold-pressed coffee and mini-pies for the guys. I passed on the veggies because I have a house full of them. I wanted to get tomatoes, but they didn't have any heirloom ones. The weather was perfect. We ended up having the kids over and doing a full grill-out on the deck. Fun night!
Today is a lake swim with the dogs. We're attempting a picnic lunch too. Oh boy. It will be interesting. I made asparagus and turkey roll ups, deviled eggs and we're picking up sandwiches (for them, not me). Chips, snacks, etc too.
Busy morning. I was solidly asleep when my alarm went off! I need to wake up and make my smoothy!! Later gators.
