Green Smoothies-The Movie
Many of you have seen me talk about my green smoothies. And I've made a list bfor of what I put in it, but I wanna show you guys just how dense of a smoothie I make. So video is coming soon. Why do I feel the need to make a video? Well, I feel like these green smoothies are a huge key to proper nutrition for anyone, but ESPECIALLY for those into working out.
I've been eating almost no protein and recovering just as well as when I ate 150+grams a day. And by almost none I literally mean I'll go days without protein. I have recently added eggs back in the diet, bout 60 grams of protein from eggs and recovery is just that much more phenomenal. I say this because I know a lot of people have trouble getting in some of the macros and assloads of protein day in and day out can be very tiring. It was for me.
Energy is phenomenal. Usually by this time in the year, I'm dealing with major Lyme Disease fatigue as winter worsens symptoms. I have little to none. I'm not even experiencing many Lyme symptoms at all. It's awesome.
*Energy tip. The bigger the slice of whole lime, the more energy you'll get. And I mean significant. I've tested it bfor and the only thing I changed about the smoothie was changing the slice of whole lime, rind and all, and I would notice a serious energy boost. Fuk preworkout!
All the greens? Well that means lots of nitric oxide. And also the beet I put in it ;). I don't feel the need for a "pump" product.
Libido's phenomenal too.
I also noticed that even though I'm eating quite a few grams of sugar from the fruits, my midsection has slimmed.
I never felt the need to push a supplement, diet, or workout program like I have felt the need to push these green smoothies. I really think these things are the key to a solid life, but also, I think that fruits and veggies should be the backbone and bulk of almost EVERYONE's diet. And then based on your fitness goals add in extra fat/ crabs/ protein and then obviously fruits and veggies wouldn't be the bulk but u get what I mean. But the whole 5 servings thing is bs as far as I'm concerned. Have u seen what's a serving? 1/3 of a cup of carrots is like one serving. That's piss nothing! And I don't trust our government telling us the correct amount of vitamins that we need. They so don't care about us, why should be belive they're actually telling us the correct amount we need to be super healthy. If the government gave 2 shits about us, we wouldn't have unlabeled GMO's, and fluoride in the water.
Video to come soon. Hope y'all enjoy.
edit---
here it is guys. few things though cuz the video got cut off in the very end.
number one, i also put not from concentrate cranberry juice in it.
number two, when i was speaking about aloe vera and depression, i meant to say that it helps with it, not that a benefit of aloe vera is depression haha
enjoy!
CLICK 720HD. LOOKS A LOT BETTER

I can attest to the huge energy increase. I don't use as many ingredients or make them nearly as large as nate but the benefits are there. I use the nutri bullet so they are smaller and I do throw in my pro blend but I can say it is not only easy but effective.
Re: Green Smoothies-The Movie
Back when I was feeling crummy, around the time before I started TRT, I bought a vitamix and started making green smoothies. I can't say I felt more energy... I just felt less awful. Nevertheless, I continue to make them a few days a week and they are the best shot I have for getting that much nutrient plus fiber.

I didn't use citrus fruits most of the time. Never tried lemon... would put in 1/4 lime every so often but haven't done that in a while.

I'm sure I've mentioned this on this forum before, but chlorophyll and hemoglobin are almost exactly the same structurally. The only difference being the nucleus of each molecule. Chlorophyll has a magnesium nucleus and hemoglobin has an iron one. Other then that, they are EXACTLY the same.

Eating greens is almost akin to getting a blood transfusion. They are natures superfood.
Sounds like you have a whey allergy that manifests itself with an inflammatory response. I could be wrong, though.
On the two molecules being exactly the same except for "one thing"... I don't want to bust your balls, but I don't think it's a great comparison.
If you and I have the same car, but I supercharge my engine, they look the same, but the way they perform is night and day. In the world of anabolics, removing the methyl group from dianabol (and it becomes equipoise) completely changes how it acts. But they look identical... except for that one thing.
So I hope I didn't come across as an ass... it wasn't my intention, and I understand that chlorophyll, whatever it's molecular structure, has health benefits we can and should take advantage of.

The bottom line here is that hemeglobin is what are blood is made of, and chlorophyll is what the plants "blood" is made of. Literally the only difference is one element.
But does chlorophyll , once ingested, act as hemoglobin does? I'll be honest, I'm not up on the science of chlorophyll, so i may have missed any studies showing it acted in this way.

I wouldn't personally use a regular blender unless A) you like things kinda chunky and B) you want to keep buying blenders, as smoothie making will burn them up pretty fast.
I ditched my 300 watt Oster for a 1200 watt vitamix ($400). If that doesn't fit the budget, then the 1000 watt ninja is probably the best of the ~$100ish range.

Night and day difference in power and actual finished product. The smoothies are actually... smooth. Bought mine a year ago to make daily green smoothies and haven't looked back. My friend owns a coffee shop chain and he only buys vitamix and blendtec because of their power and long lasting motor life.
