Vegetables in smoothies. Only fruit should be allowed in a smoothie.
Oh I like avocados, and I have carried out several detox for 10 days commencing with a weird drink first thing made in a blender:
Virgin Olive Oil
3 large garlic cloves
Freshly chopped ginger
The juice of a newly squeezed lemon
Then as much raw veg as I could eat for lunch and then as much fruit as I could eat for evening meal.
After 10 days I felt really good.
I enjoy fruit smoothies and often have one for breakfast. But I prefer blended veg in a stew or soup, not as a drink. My daughter made me a smoothie with spinach and beetroot and I nearly threw up.
Edit..Just realised you mean you eat the veg separately. That regime sounds a good way to lose a few pounds quickly.
The detox probably does make me lose weight but overall it just makes you feell so much better.
And thanks for reminding me, I used to make Gazpacho and use it as a cold drink in summer, it is bloody marvellous.
