Green smoothies

[UteStar]

I had a buddy of mine down the street that just started to do Green Smoothies. Basically he blends up tons of fruits and vegetables. Just curious if anyone has done a diet like this and if those green smoothies are any good. He told my wife and I that he will make us one. Exciting.

He said that he has lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks on this diet. Color me unimpressed...but I am curious if anyone has done it.

My wife is big into green smoothies. I am not.

We are both trying to lose weight. Since January 11, I have dropped 30 pounds. Since January 11, she has dropped 3 pounds.

You do the math.

I did the math. Initially, I forgot to carry over the 3 and subtract the 7 and I came up with total confusion. But, now I think I figured it out.

Are the smoothies not tasty? Just curious - is it because she is eating smoothies and not exercising and you are exercising like crazy? What do you think?

I had a friend trying to make a green smoothie. Her attempted recipe something like strawberries, a banana, kale, cilantro, green lettuce, bok choy, beets, and other ingredients that don't belong together in a blender. Yuck.

I will add several handfuls of spinach to a berry smoothie, but that's about as far as I can go. I'd rather just eat a salad.

Lol.

Actually, the real answer is that I am meticulously counting calories and she is not. She's exercising too and is certainly in decent shape but 11 years of childbearing has her wanting to drop a few. But she doesn't have the patience to count. I know that counting isn't entirely precise but the law of averages and all that.

I also drink smoothies. They just aren't green.
