I've been a raw foodist for 11 years-- cure my breast cancer with raw foods. I've made hundreds of raw food fruit smoothies. A good basic smoothie you can always add to or change would be:
Always 2 bananas as a base
then add i cup of frozen or fresh mango chunks (Trader Joe's has them)
and/or a big chunk of fresh pineapple
and/or 1/2 cup of blueberries.
there is something always good about the banana mango combination for a smoothie.
when you get braver you can make a green fruit smoothie or a green smoothie adding a handful of baby spinach leaves or 2 or 3 leaves of romaine lettuce.
raw vegetables like carrots etc. should never be mixed in a fruit smoothie-- harder to digest. Salad greens like lettuces are really in a separate category of greens which are always good and healthy. giving you lots of nutrition. Nurse Jen
