I have been a diligent promoter and drinker of the Green Drink for about 2 months now. My mom has been converted for even longer than me. All I can say is All of my roommates (emphasis on ALL) have gotten the FLU numerous times… all but Me. I attribute it all to the drink. I also find use of limes, blueberries, pears, broccoli, and zucchini, add extra zest.

Maureen, at your age and given condition, the best in my opinion is Pranayam. But be careful to learn it from an authentic teacher.

I have been making the green drink with my juicer also. I love it! I think the taste is just like Oprah said “a glass of fresh” I thought it would upset my stomach but didn’t happen. Thanks Dr. Oz.

Got my juicer….going to try Dr. Oz’s Green Drink (Green Cocktail according to Martha Stewart) ….Yes, juicing is older than Jack LaLane but we need to be reminded of the simple cures for our bodies….thanks Dr. Oz…

I am also tired of being tired! I was talking to my hubby about starting to eat pure, good food and getting rid of the sugar and junk in our diet. The same day we went to Costco and the Vita-Mix guy was there. We bought one and all the ingredients for Dr. Oz’s green drink. The Vita-Mix blends all the ingredients in less than one minute and you don’t have to cut them up. I removed the skin from the lemon and lime, then used them whole. I also removed the skin from the cucumber and ginger. I added a banana and a small amount of unsweetened apple juice. I also added some ground flax seed and soy protein powder. I love it; thank you so much, Dr. Oz!

How are you? Many people interested in your success.
If it hasn’t worked maybe it’s time to try one more time.
Wishing you all the best!

Please let us all know how you are if possible.

I have information on other Green Drinks (Green Smoothies) on my website.

I got over my chronic fatigue syndrome when I added Green Smoothies to my diet along with getting off of refined sugar, wheat and dairy.

Everyone would benefit from adding a Green Smoothie (or a Blended Salad) to their diet daily (or better yet, twice daily!)

Also, if you join the Vita-Mix User’s Group (a Yahoo Group) you will get lots of support. Even if you don’t own a Vita-Mix, you can make the drinks in a regular blender until you can save up for one.

Blessings to you all (especially Maureen) and…

To Your Health!

I just tried this drink and like it! I added “hot sauce” and it kinda tastes like a “Bloody Mary.!” Maureen…. my heart goes out to you. I have organized a womens walk for women in the”hood.” I am 50 years young, my other neighbor is 72 and the third is 54. We are all over weight and have tried every diet. Believe me, the answer is simple, healthy food and exercise. Start a group…power in numbers, be accountable to other people. You go girl….you can do this.

Here is the original green drink that Dr. Oz made on the show.

Good luck to you Maureen! I know you can do it.

Dr. Oz says he makes a breakfast drink for himself many mornings that he calls his green drink.

What’s in Dr. Oz’s green drink?

2 cups spinach
2 cups cucumber
1 head of celery
1/2 inch or teaspoon ginger root
1 bunch parsley
2 apples
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1/2 lemon
After everything is combined in a blender, this recipe makes 28 to 30 ounces—about three to four servings. Oprah takes a sip and is pleasantly surprised. “It’s a glass of fresh,” she says.

Dr. Oz’s second drink might not be as pleasant, but it’s still important—a shot of cod liver oil. “First of all, cod liver oil has the right kind of vitamin D in itvitamin D3. That’s why people who live in the north lands who don’t get any sun at all can still survive. It’s got the healthy fats that you want in it,” Dr. Oz says.

I bought a great juicer and tried the green drink–great. One questions — how much of the recipe do I drink at one time?

I thought this drink was awful at first but then I added a little fresh mint and a kiwi as well as some cranberry juice. I make it and drink it everyday now!!

THE fight to replace Oprah Winfrey in 2011 – if she decides to take her show off Ch. 7 and put it on her own cable channel – has already begun. Will it be Ellen Degeneres or Dr. Phil or perhaps someone as unknown as Oprah was when she

First timers, be sure to use apples and bananas. That’s the key. And remember, Oprah is now back up to 200 lbs and can afford a personal chef, trainer, etc. so don’t be so hard on yourselves. It’s a mindset that takes time to connect to and completely dedicate oneself to. With that said I’m going to go up and walk on the tredmill and watch the snow falling on this beautiful wintery day in Illinois! Be very gentle to yourselves. Have a merry one all!

Somewhere in all the rush to make money the art of understanding and preparing food that’s good for us got lost. But because of all the wealth generated, some people have been able to devote time to research, and found out that we natural beings respond well to consuming natural foods. Ironic, really! But a good thing in the end, if we can all end up moving towards being healthy again. I just enjoyed my first green drink, and it was great. Good luck to us all! Just remember to put the lid on…

So where’s Maureen………

Can I say that I have actually spent the time and gone over these messages that in between people saying “Opera Show” and people leaving off the lid when turning on the blender, Garlic being like Ginger my GOD, are you American’s for real. It’s as if you are being introduced to healthy living, fruits and veggies instead of the crap processed foods where your weight is massive and you are huge…I just can’t believe you people, just drink the drink and stop complaining about the taste, BE healthy and come on……..

Pineapple juice.

Thirty years ago my mother made a green drink using the recipe from Francis Moore Lappe’s “Diet for a Small Planet”. Even as teenager I found this drink quite palatable because my mom added pineapple juice before blending.

Reading Dr. Oz’s recipe is inspiring me to try it again after all these years. I can still remember how good I felt after I drank it for awhile; then life as a student etc. got me “off the wagon”.

Hi All,
Good to see you all trying to get healthy. Please understand this. Your food has to be nutritionally rich. Unfortunately with our bad farming practices our range and farm land soils don’t contain very many minerals and vitamins anymore. This is what we need for god health.

The body breaks down when it doesn’t have the nutrition supplied to it that enables it to rebuild and repair itself. We are self healing organisms and this is how our bodies heal.

I have launched a free information website on health so people can learn more about how we changed our health for the better and how you can also do the same. The site is packed with amazing information that 99% of you will have never read.

It’s time for you to get excited about your life and to get healthy. Health is Wealth! It is your life and it’s you who can change it.

Go to http://www.healthsecrets.com.au

Help yourself as we have provided the information, but it’s you who has to take the steps toward the life that you want.

Great Health To All.

Regards,

Paul.

We tried this recipe but we misread it and put cucumber, celery, spinach, apple, ginger and a peeled lime, and JUICED it in a JUICER and it is DELICIOUS! In a blender, the celery would be stringy, the cucumber too gelatinuos.
I recommend trying to juice it in a power juicer.

I finally tried this drink two weeks ago. I didn’t have any parcley at the time, so I used a couple of fresh basil leaves. (not bad by the way)

The first time, I added a little too much ginger, so I had to make some adjustments. I’ve also tried it with fresh parcley and fresh mint, and it’s great. I do, however, have to lighten up on the celery. I didn’t realize the recipe called for ONLY one celery stalk. That explains the strong celery taste. haha…DUH!

Anyway, like Oprah said, it tastes really fresh. That’s the only way to describe it. My boyfriend tried it. He wasn’t totally overjoyed, but I got him to drink it not once, but twice! )

I have tried the drink a couple of times and really like the taste (I did add some honey) and think it would be a good way to get more veggies in my diet. BUT, each time I have gotten somach cramps and diarrhea the second day. Not sure what could be causing it as I have eaten all separately but not as much parsley (I used a half bunch each time). Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

I added one packet of Stevia® natural sweetener to the recipe. It really adds to the deliciousness and makes the parsley and spinach go down easily. Also, fresh ginger is fantastic.

I find it a challenge to get 5-a-Day, especially dark green veggies. Even though I’ve never been able to take even one sip of green colored Odwalla or wheatgrass juices or any of that crazy stuff, this Green Drink makes achieving 5-a-day a breeze. So tasty. I’m delighted.
