And what about all that saturated bad fat in coconut oil? Green smoothies will give you heart disease! Can green smoothies devastate your health? There’s oxalates in spinach so it’s really bad for us and fruit has fructose and we’ll all. My first green thickie challenge of only drinking green thickies for 7 days has been an eye opener. Find out how I got on with my health and weight loss. Help a Healthy Habit Stick: Make your Green Smoothies Thick! These filling nutritious energising green smoothie recipes will help you to naturally reach your ideal. Green smoothies have changed thousands of people's lives. We love to hear your stories! Here are a few that have been shared with us: No More Crashes Robyn. So let’s all go back to eating fast food, lots of processed food, meat and dairy and yeah we’ll all feel better. So Sarah The Healthy Home Economist http: //www. Her main issue is the oxalates in large amounts of spinach in a green smoothie. And are we using huge amounts ? Large amounts of greens cause kidney stones? There is no way that a few handfuls of greens can do this. Here’s Tracy Russell from Incredible Smoothies on why isolated nutrient thinking is just plain silly and why green smoothies definitely do not devastate your health and that the large amount of people around the world that have had kidney stones have never had a green smoothie in their life! People love focusing on just spinach which has minute quantities. Oxalic acid in food is a micro nutrient in much more higher levels in grains soy nuts seeds beans veggies, carrots, tea and especially coffee. It is considered harmful because it can combine with calcium and may leach the calcium in bones. As if spinach is the only green that green smoothie converts use every single day and the only thing in our green smoothies? She needs to spend some time with a green smoothie convert and look at the huge variety of greens, food, vitamins, nutrients and minerals you consume in a week then compare that to someone eating a primarily animal based diet like herself. Like Jane my friend from high school who I stayed with in Melbourne this year and left green smoothie books and info with and after I left she bought a mini blender and started drinking green smoothies- then a Breville blender (wait it get’s better!) and then a Vitamix and she is converting others including trainers at her gym, lending people books plus searching out and buying a variety of greens including stinging nettles. Plus getting free greens via the ends of celery and beetroot that greengrocers love chopping off and throwing away! LOVE this!!! This is exactly why I think I became a teacher in the first place- sharing my passion and seeing people become inspired and transform. When I was in high school my passion was art (plus growing up in a bookshop books, writing, ideas, innovation plus music ) so I wanted to share this passion with others so went to art school, did my 4 year degree in art, photography and art education. I think it was the transformative power of painting and photography that was powerful for me. Starting with nothing e. Before and after! Ultimately it was illness and losing 1. English to migrants and refugees in the school system too) to finding other ways of sharing this passion which is now of course healthy eating, leafy greens and green smoothies. I’ve always rotated my greens to get a variety of all the different nutrients, tastes and flavours like you do with other ingredients and making other meals. This writer is a butter, grass fed meat and dairy loving mainstream traditional nutritionist. They ignore healing qualities of the whole food and concentrate on single nutrients and biochemistry as opposed to the whole food approach/ healing focus holistic nutritionists use- there’s a big difference. She advocates cooking food and using lots of butter plus has written about oh my god the dangers of eating raw veggies. Not just greens but ALL veges! She says- “I eat leafy greens in a salad or cooked with butter about twice a week at most. That is all I would consider doing ? This is one day from a food diary she kept- all I can say is wow. Wonder what she thinks of the doctors and years of research and studies in Forks Over Knives. Or a buster in a blender! In cooked spinach the oxalic acid changes and can become more toxic. Victoria Boutenko has also written about oxalates in Green Smoothie Revolution page 3. I remember Victoria saying in Sydney in an answer to a question there are oxalates in coffee (carrots too! Plus soy and peanuts have far more than spinach etc etc etc) and there is far more coffee drunk over the world than green smoothies. Many people report going to their doctor with kidney or thyroid problems and the Dr says no raw leafy and cruciferous greens and guess what? They ignore that advice and green smoothies reverse their original illness. A bit like being on blood thinners so you are told by the doc you can’t eat leafy greens because they focus on one vitamin eg vitamin K which can help blood clot (probably on the advice of the pharmaceutical company) and in the process blindly ignore all the other beneficial micro nutrients vitamins and mineral and the blood pressure reducing properties and ingredients in a green smoothie. Ultimately we know what our bodies are telling us and what we are doing is right or wrong.
