More on Green Smoothies

Today's smoothie is much sweeter than normal. Chris requested that we have a "sweeter" one today than normal, so I cut back on the greens a bit and added an extra banana (also, the bananas are going ripe really fast with the heat, so they need to be used up).

Chris came across a video of Sergei Boutenko (Victoria's son) making a smoothie on their website www.rawfamily.com. According to Sergei you should reduce the number of items in your green smoothie and stick to only one variety of green at a time. This will reduce the chance of toxicity (via alkaloids) of any of the leaves to build up over time. He suggests rotating through a series of greens throughout the week. So, following Sergei's advice, here is our recipe for the day:

Recipe for today's smoothie:
- 2 bananas
- 1 large peach
- couple handfuls strawberries
- 1/2 bunch italian kale
