Yes! I use the nutri bullet, and you always are supposed to put in 1/2 greens and 1/2 fruit (then add Protein powder). The fruit covers the taste of the greens. Try mild tasting greens too, like baby spinach. I like to add a little avocado for creaminess. You can also add splenda to sweeten, or a prune or two will also sweeten it. I have felt sooooo much better since I started doing these shakes! Try googling "nutri bullet recipes" there's tons online.

Best of luck!

OMG...I just got the Nutri bullet too... lol I paid enough for it so I will drink a green smoothie even if it kills me lol

I make a killer chocolate Peanut Butter banna Protein shake.... but everytime I make a green smoothie ... I wave my fists in the air and yell " Why must you taste like Grass " yuk..... Then I watch Doctor OZ and his smoothies taste like Grass too.... lol

I will try putting avacados into it like you mentioned and I might do a 50/50 spinach , lettuce just to break up the taste a little... I never thought to sweeten with some prunes.. I will try that too, because it helps with Constipation lol.. ok thanks for the great ideas, I will try that next time sounds good....

By the way in case you are interested, you can make it in your nutri bullet.

Killer chocolate Protein Shake recipe

1/2 banna

8 oz of Low Carb Milk or Almond Milk

1 scoop of Jay Robb Chocolate whey Protein powder

1 tbls of Hershey's cocoa natural unsweetened

1 tbls of powdered Peanut Butter (company that makes it is Bell Plantation) called PB2

4 ice cubes....... try this it is to die for......Yummy

I found that I had to adjust the ratio of greens to fruit over time. I probably started at 70% fruit and 30% greens. Now I am the opposite but it took time. Mild veggies like spinach, kale and lettuces are a good choice. I also find that I have to let my smoothies sit for awhile, Sleevie does not like all the air/foam in them when first blended.

I consume a green drink every day. And yes, they taste like grass. To remedy this, I always add in a little bit of pineapple coconut Water Enhancer and the taste comes out a million times better. For 10-12 ounces of green drink, it only takes a few squirts. The brand I like to use is Dasani Water enhancer. I typically uses green drink like green vibrance, so has about about 80 different veggies, fruits and herbs. The alfalfa is always the "grass" taste for me.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
