One of the keys to success with a raw food diet is to eat lots of greens. My husband likes salads, but some days he's just not in the mood. So, we try to start each day with a green smoothie. When I say "we," I mean me, too. You don't have to have diabetes to benefit from this. It's nourishing, cleansing, hydrating and refreshing. It's great for everybody! And it's really easy.
GREEN SMOOTHIE (for 2):
1/2 large cucumber peeled
1 large handful dark greens - spinach, kale, etc.
1 handful fresh parsley
1 very large splash lemon juice (We use Santa Cruz organic lemon juice. I have no interest in squeezing a million lemons.)
Put the above in your high-speed blender and fill with water to cover about half the contents.
Blend until smooth.
It gets foamy on top so I use a spoon to hold back the foam while pouring.
Time-saving tip: You can prepare the veggies for a few days worth of smoothies, storing them in baggies or plastic containers so all you have to do each morning is empty the contents into your blender and add the water and lemon juuice
