Been drinking veggie shake every morning for a month. Sht is actually the truth

[ragingcrayon]

I wasn't aiming to "detox" so much as just get more greens in. I couldn't lift for a while cuz of surgery so have been running, taking EC 2x a day, and drinking this every morning after my run. I've dropped about 24lbs in 5 weeks or so... but the truth is... I feel fukkin great. it's weird. I have to wake up at 4:45 to run and I can hop right out of bed. I get like 5 hours of sleep and still have energy for days. Usually I eat pretty unhealthy and feel sluggish... but I'll drink this nasty sht the rest of my life. Highly recommend

every time since I was 6

[LoydChristmas]

how nasty does it taste?

[ktellereg]

fresh or are some of the greens and **** frozen?

[D-Nutt]

[wildchild11]

asparagus in the shake? interesting.

[E90335i]

Same here. Veggies are for real. I like berries in my shakes as well. I've got a nutribullet.
This is why If it fits your macros is BS. Consider the source of your foods. 100 grams of sugar from high crustose corn syrup versus berries is different.

[TLTrooper]

Green smoothies are legit. I take em sometimes after I lift and feel like a million yuan.

[tom11]

If it fits your macros isn't bullchit, if you have done your research first of all IIFYM is NOT a single diet but rather a philosophy of flexible dieting and second IIFYM explictly says that it's essential hitting micronutrient, fat and fiber minimums, not only the macros.

everything is a cup except where noted. The protein is 2 scoops of vitacost whey iso

Fantastic op! I am a great advocate of tomato juice, recently been drinking one glass a day + stocking up on fruit and veg. You must have a beautiful skin tone from all those wonderful carotenoides by now (no homo).

[DrSlam]

I did the same thing with my nutribullet for awhile and I felt the same.

I fell off from doing that and I need to start back up

Classic OP

[JAC4146]

Green Monster Shake:

85g of Kale(or Spinach)
1 Banana
1 Cup of some type of milk
1 Cup of FF Plain Greek Yogurt
Splenda to taste
Handful of ice
Can also use flavored GY like Chobani or Light & Fit.

soooo good, drink it every morning.

my skin is looking pretty darn good... that's why I throw the avocado in there - heard the fats are good for skin

Vitamix master race checking in.



Agree OP, mine isn't as healthy as yours but mine actually tastes good and is still healthy.

I do:
1 spoonful of non-flavored non-fat greek yogurt.
Kale
Chia Seeds
Strawberries
Blueberries
Pineapple
Mango
Papaya
Little bit of Passion Orange Guava Juice

Eating "clean" has nothing to do with losing or gaining weight, which is what IIFYM is all about. Hit your micro nutrients too for optimum health

[OhioStateBucki]

Vitamix has been a wonderful addition to life.

A good base for smoothies is some kale, spinach and a jar of quality preserves (tons of good flavors - mangos, peaches, etc). Then take it from there. I usually add a bit of ice at the end to make it sort of slushie.

That and a small bowl of blueberries every morning makes a noticeable difference in my overall mood and feeling. It's not so much that you notice it while you're doing it - it's that you notice feeling crappier when you stop for a week or two.

The misc tremendously undervalues micronutrients. All they care about are macros. IIFYM is great so long as you are also getting plenty of the vitamins and nutrients (ie relatively "clean" for lack of a better word).

[Geoloop]

Do you run with a tampon too?

I was guilty but now am a believer. Sht makes a real difference in performance, mood, and energy.

Do you run with a tampon too?

sometimes

[tehgosu]

Would a mix of like, broccoli, spinach, carrot and avocado work? I usually eat nuts and fruits already throughout the day because I like the taste of those.

And do I just mix it with water?

[GuntingGoat]

I used to drink green smoothies everyday for breakfast. I honestly felt like a God when I did that.

I fell off the wagon though. Just didn't give a sh*t anymore, it was too much work and money. Now I'm eating garbage like bagels with cream cheese.

I'll probably get back on it one day though.

You know i have been reading and hearing about this type of thing for years. The drop in your weight alone is a good reason to try it, but the added energy( less caffeine) more antioxidants is probably the best reason. After the holiday, i think i will give it a shot. Where did you find that recipe?

that'd be fine. If that's all you're using, mix it with OJ or pineapple juice to make it taste decent. Spirulina is my favorite addition - has a chit ton of benefits.

I think all the ingredients are like 30-35 bucks a week. not bad. better than what I was spending on manhattan breakfasts

I kinda made the recipe up. I looked up all the smoothies people liked, discarded taste, and kept the sht people cited as beneficial. I was hoping the blueberries and starwberries would help with taste but they don't make a dent lol

[DLTBB]

I have been debating buying a Nutri Bullet and doing something similiar.
