Oh, this sounds delicious. I’ll have to grab some kale during my next visit to the supermarket. Mint is tough, this time of year especially…I wonder how cilantro would do?

@Ange, I have trouble with that first step, too. But once I get going everything seems to work out. I've been adding summer fruit to my smoothies lately - and I've even been adding in some frozen fruit to get it extra cold and smooth. I'm liking half of a frozen banana right now with whatever else I have on hand an some chai or flax seeds. Sending hugs.

Thank you thank you thank you for this! I don’t have a digestive issue per se, however I do suffer from psoriasis, which can be linked to digestive issues, food intolerances, etc. I don’t know yet if these are going to help, but I LOVE them nevertheless. They are delicious and filling, and totally addictive. I love that it is one step in the right direction (which I often have difficulty with) that I truly enjoy and have no issue with doing. I made my first one fully expecting to have to gag it down, but was and continue to be so happily surprised by the pleasant taste. I have added and changed things daily for variety, and they are all very drinkable at least, and delicious at best.

@Carmen, To answer all your questions – which I love!! – it took about two weeks for my body to normalize after adding daily smoothies. I was massively bloated. No, I’ve never done an elimination diet. It’s not the right thing for me. I did make a conscious effort to drink more water, though. My body needs lots of water.

I just realized I was reading an old post, so I couldn’t have found it at a better time. Also, when rereading it I saw that you incorporated the smothies into your diet. I guess that means you did not do the elimination diet, did you make any other changes at that time? Also, did you or do you drink them daily?
