Thanks for the mention! I’m glad that my post inspired you. I’ve found that with fruit in the mix, the greens taste just fine. I’ve even started adding avocado, green beans, zucchini, etc – we don’t notice a difference in taste, and I love how healthy I feel after I drink it. Have fun with it!

I’ve been drinking them for almost a month now and they’re pretty good – I put half a bunch of spinach or kale or celery in and, with a banana or two and some fruit, they taste very smoothie-y. I even used the green tops off radishes once and they were good. I was quite surprised. 🙂

I only buy organic, unless I am buying local (or at the farmers market) – in which case they are likely grown organically anyway. I notice a difference in some things, not in others. But I decided a few years ago that I had to be willing to spend money on the things that I consider really important – and food happens to be one of them – and could economize in other areas to make up for it. It’s also interesting that as a society, we used to spend a much higher percentage of our income on food, and over the years, that has shrunk more and more, and food becomes the part of the budget that seems to be the easiest to cut. I decided that I had to be willing to give up other things instead.

Not sure but INVESTING in the Organic Produce Industry (perhaps by buying stock in Whole Foods) can be a great BOOST to YOUR bottom line!

Over time, if you add a smidge of greens here and there, you won't even notice them in your smoothies. And, they offer so much extra help with loads of phytonutrients and minerals.

I love them and found myself adding more and more over time.

Cheers!
