Did you calculate using a half avocado? When I did it came close to 130 calories depending on size. The calories for the other ingredients are negligible. I like this with lime juice and no ginger.
I added a pinch of alderwood smoked finishing salt. Next time I’m cutting down water to 12 ounces to concentrate the flavors. Worked well with mustard/collard/spinach blend.
This was the first think I tried in my new (refurbished) Blendtec (with the tiny adjustment of adding one lime and using a whole large cuke, seeded, and a little extra ginger). SO refreshing and invigorating on this hot, humid day! Unfortunately, my blender has an electric glitch and I have to decide whether to return/exchange :-/. The power cut in and out right at the end of cycle and every time I tried it on another electrical source since.
WHo cares about calories? You shouldnt worry about calories, if your eating the right thing. Just tons of veggies, fruits, nuts, beans, rice, chia seeds, lentils, quinoa, and lots of coconut oil, coconut milk, almond milk, and grapeseed oil, and thats all you really need to loose weight, keep weight, and be healthy.
oils are usually full of free radicals, see ( the oiling of america )…
My blender doesn’t have a "Whole Juice" button. It has smoothie, lo, med, hi, and soup. What do I use? Fyi- It’s the Classic 570.
Could you just throw a lemon in (peeled to the white) rather than the lemon juice?
What do I do if my blendtec does not have a "whole juice" button
Blend on medium for 50-60 seconds or until desired consistency is reached. Happy blending!
Blend on a medium to medium-high speed for 50-60 seconds. For future reference, we have a blend cycle conversions here: http://www.blendtec.com/blo… Happy blending!
i added a piece of garlic! yummm. used to do juicing in a different well reviewed machine but Blendtec blew me away!
I just did, it was better to have the whole fruit, just stronger. I also added a tsp of apple cider vinegar. Overall, could use just a touch of something sweeter to balance.
So I am just starting this smoothie adventure and this is not for the faint of heart! Hello green!
Haha, whoops. First time I made this I read the greens portion as "tightly packed", not "lightly". The blender still powered through it with no cavitation though! Made for an intense, but still tasty, dose of greens!
You can do that! You’ll just have to make sure there’s enough water in the jar to blend the ginger and then strain it through a nut milk bag or something similar. However, if you were just going to put it in whole, the peel is thicker and more fibrous so it won’t break down all the way.
Using Blend-Tec for first time!!!!!! I bought it for green juices because I’m tired of paying $8-12 every time I want a green juice. I did the math and I think this will pay off. I admit I’m intimidated; I bought one at Bed Bath and Beyond and was overwhelmed by the power and returned it! But I called Blend-Tec and got a 675 which I think is strong enough for what I want — simple green juice or smoothie to start, using fresh produce I grow or that’s available. I don’t like sweet drinks. So I want to use just greens and ginger and maybe thicken with avocado or banana. I DO LIKE GINGER, but can I avoid peeling it? I was thinking start with a litttle water and whole ginger, pulverize that to extract juice, get rid of that and add the juice to the greens. Or do I have to peel it?
I absolutely loved this! I wasn’t sure how much cucumber to use, since they come in different sizes. I used half of an English cuke (the big long ones) and it worked great. The nutritional information is off, though. It’s closer to 300 calories for the whole thing.
OK that sounds a little gross (!) so I’ll exert 3 calories and cut the peel off and put it right into the juice. Probably healthier anyway. Thanks!!!!!
Should I peel the cucumbers
What an awesome recipe!
