So today marks the first day of yet another 30 day smoothie fast. Well, to be exact it's not really a fast unless you're doing a water fast, but for efficiency's sake let's stick with that. Some of you think smoothie and conjure up pictures of neapolitan ice cream with walnuts and Nesquick chocolate syrup. But baby, that's not what I'm goin' for. We're talkin' straight fruit and veg. Something easy for a raw-vegan to grasp, but quite the pole vault for someone like my heavy-accented, wife-beater-wearing Sicilian father.
How can a vegetable smoothie taste good? Add a handful of spinach to a smoothie loaded with mangoes, apples, bananas, papayas and oranges, and aside from the slight change in colour, you don't taste the greens at all. It's an awesome opportunity to get in those extra chlorophyll-drenched goodies without the sacrifice of taste. Plus there are millions of green-smoothie recipes all over the web. Why does this feel like an infomercial?
So...let the 30-day smoothie fast begin! Doctah T, out.
