Question: Would putting broccoli in a blender make a good shake, if i added some other vegetables!?
Answers:
I drink a lot of my fruits and veggies (I also still eat a lot them), but I have a Vitamix blender that can handle tough vegetables like broccoli and carrots!. I prefer to eat broccoli so I have never tried this recipe!.

Broccoli, Kale and Celery Juice
Yield: 1 1/2 cups

2 broccoli florettes
1/2 kale leaf

1/2 cup (120 mL) ice cubes

Place all ingredients in Vita-Mix container in order listed!. Secure two-part lid!. Select VARIABLE speed #1!. Turn on machine and quickly increase speed to #10; then to HIGH!. Run for 1 minute until smooth!. Serve immediately!.

There seems to be a few recipes on the web for broccoli juice, I am posting one link!.

Sounds good!. I would definitely use cooked vegetables!. Raw ones probably wouldn't get processed fully, so you'd a have lumpy glass of ick!. Maybe broccoli, carrots, some kind of non-mushy legume (edamame would be good, I think), some dark leafy greens!.!.!. You could add some fruit juice or apple for sweetness, or add some tomato juice/V8, and herbs to make it savory, or even throw in some salsa or jalepeno to make it spicy!. Oh, or mint, or curry!. Now I wanna try all this!. :)

On a side note, you should definitely be eating more than two servings of veggies per day!. :/

Edit: I'm so jealous of bokchoy!. I wish I had a vita-mix!. :(Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you really think you can hang with that, more power to you!. I can't imagine it!. I don't even like V8 or V8 Fusion but that is another way to sneak in your veggies!.

I think it would be easier to make smoothie out of cooked veggies but that just makes me want to gag! However strangely enough, if you puree a bunch of veggies and put in a bowl and eat with a spoon, call it soup, I think I could do that! hahahha!

Don't forget your tomato sauce on pasta!. IT counts and you can add carrots, squash, mushrooms, olives etc for extra veggie portions!

You can also eat frozen peas, corn, etc!.!.!.still frozen!. I love them this way!. Nibble on them like finger food!. Babies know this is like candy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

make carrot juice, it is sweet! then add celery or whatever you'd like!.

Good luck:)Www@FoodAQ@Com
