Non-Spinach Greens for Smoothies?
I cannot do spinach in my smoothies any longer. What are some relatively mild greens you recommend? I actually don’t mind doing a sour smoothie with dandelion greens and lemon juice, but I actually can’t do lemon juice anymore either.
Ideas?

If you have an Asian market try A Choy. Gai Lan could be good too if you just use the leaves. Save the stalks for stir fry.

Re: Non-Spinach Greens for Smoothies?
I do salad greens. I cannot do spinach either. I do arugula in
My hot foods.

I've done chard in my smoothies before. You can get it frozen - that is what I usually use. Or I have used fresh mixed greens before as well.

baby arugula
baby kale (sometimes those two are packaged together as "power greens." Wal-mart has them in a clam shell package) Romaine Red leaf lettuce anything with purple or deep red has extra nutrition, too. I minimize raw spinach because the oxalic acid inhibits absorption of nutrients. |

Does this come in a bag? I don't think I've ever seen it.

Re: Non-Spinach Greens for Smoothies?
If you are actually wanting a lemon taste, could you use some lemon grass?
Look up the greens that actually work against your thyroid. (this way you don't over do those. I think I remember you stating you have a sluggish thyroid too.) How about using the beet greens and beet root in a smoothie? https://davyandtracy.com/green-smoot...othie-recipes/ (I haven't tried the greens, but may give it a go.) |
