Notes
The ratio in this recipe is 1 vegetable to 1 fruit, which may be too sweet for some people and not sweet enough for others. If it’s not sweet enough, try adding more fruit or a little noncaloric sweetener (such as stevia).
Organic Produce is whats wrong with the future of America.
I make this at least 3 times a week. My husband and I love it as a light lunch!
I have pancreatic cancer for 4 years had surgery that made me diabetic 1 since I started juicing and smoothie kale or spinach i noticed my diabetic BG level has been great.
I pushed the whole fruit button instead of the smoothie button and my drink is all froth. I just got it. Why did it do this?
There may have been too much liquid to cause the froth. Try decreasing the liquid or use fruits without high moisture content.
