Dr. Clyde's VEGGIE SHAKE

I am frequently asked what I put into my "green slurry".  The photo shows what I used on one particular day, but it changes a bit from week to week depending on what produce is available at the time.  I think about the ingredients in sections.  First, there are the greens (2-4 leaves each): 3 types of kale (purple, dinosaur, and green), red chard, parsley (regular and curly; a dozen sprigs each), beet greens (the amount on one beat), carrot greens (the amount on one carrot), raw wheat grass (1/4 basket) and mint leaves (leaves off of a few sprigs).  I include most of the stalks for most of these.  Second, there are the fire (colored) veggies: Tomato (1-3), red cabbage (1 large leaf), radish (1-2), 1 carrot, 1/4 red pepper, 1 beet (small).  Finally, I will sometimes add fruit such pomegranate, raw herbs such as green tea, or make the shake a complete meal by adding tofu (for protein and fat) and having whole grain crackers or toast on the side.  I drink this veggie shake in increments through the day but mostly upon waking up so I don't have to take time to eat a salad right away, and also at the end of my day because it is too hard for me to digest raw veggies in the hour or two before bed.  You can really taste the health of this shake, but raw health can be tough for most people to handle.  For this reason, I highly recommend you include the mint leaves, because this ingredient positively impacts the taste a lot.

Fresh vegetables are indeed extremely good for our health. I found this posting on Dr. Clyde's VEGGIE SHAKE really interesting.

I'm on an extremely restrictive allergy diet and want to try to make some raw smoothies to pack in a large dose of calories in the morning. If my stomach is already sensitive, is there any potential issue I may come across with trying to digest raw shakes?

Thanks!

Vegetables are very beneficial for heath. Indeed we need to have a substantial amount of vegetables everyday in our regular diet. :)

Awesome! I'm going to make this! (And show this to everyone I know so that they too can know the taste of "raw health.")
