"Not healthy at all", is a bit extreme I think. Whenever you get anyone to consume fresh fruits and veggies, I think it’s a wonderful thing! since there are plenty of sugary "bad" alternatives out there to choose from.
Sounds healthy as hell to me – Not one single animal product or fat. Plenty of protein (amino acids) in fruits and vegetables. I’m going to try this asap :)
Geez Rick you’re right, fruits and vegetables sure do make people fat and soooo unhealthy! Not. It’s the fatty other stuff people eat that makes them fat. I’d feed this smoothie to my 3 fit, lean and healthy children any day before I’d let them have a glass of milk.
What would you substitute it with whole milk full of sugar, cholesterol and saturated fat?
Get the facts before saying such rubbish.
I make this minus the OJ. I use homemade almond mylk or water; no ice, just the frozen mango AND frozen banana is enough. Add a Tbsp of raw hemp seeds for more protein, and raw maca powder for added vitamins and minerals and amino acids :)
Use real oranges instead of juice. Cut down on added sugar, add back all the fiber and nutrients taken out during the juicing process
