Hi,

Does anyone have experience with juicing post-op? I have juiced daily before and after for nutrients and I miss veggies. I would like to share stories or ideas

Thanks

I have a vitamix and I make green shakes all the time. Currently I'll put 2 big cups of kale, 2 cups water, 1/2 cup frozen mixed fruit and 2 scoops of protein powder. Makes a huge shake, very filling for me and about the only way I'll get in greens regularly.

I have the nutri bullet love it!! usually use spinach, mushrooms, frozen fruit and protein powder. they are great and yes, very filling!!

I just went out and printed off the nutritional values of veggies, fruit and fish. I want to make sure I know the carbo value of what I am drinking.

Why...are you making fish smoothies??? LOL

Yup, I'm a juicer. I like a juice/smoothie hybrid. I juice my kale, ginger, citrus, apples or carrots, but I blend my bananas, peaches, avocados and berries. So I'll make the smoothie with the blended ingredients and mix it with a shot of juice. Best of both worlds.

Mushrooms are great for Vit D. Do you use fresh mushrooms (little button) or can in your mix?

I love my nutribullet; I got it after surgery when I was missing my veggies like you are. I put in kale, chard, or spinach with half an avocado (a small one!), some frozen peaches or mango or berries, some goji berries or 1/2 oz of almonds, and protein powder. I like the syntrax nectar -- I use fuzzy navel with my peaches, and strawberry kiwi with berries. Vanilla is good with just about anything! I have a green shake 5 days a week (I take it to the office). I'm 4 months out and hoping the avocado will help prevent major hair loss....so far so good --- fingers crossed.

I definitely began to feel better and more "balanced" once I started my green shakes.

Oh yeah! Another favorite recipe is to use a leafy green & the 1/2 avo plus a cored apple with vanilla protein and a dash of cinammon! usually put some lemon juice in to keep it from browning. It is SO yummy!
