Pour the first layer into a glass, and then gently pour in the second layer on top. We eat with our eyes so presentation is really important. I have purposely left the exact amounts out. This is a great recipe to add a little of each until you find your favourite blend. Be adventurous and experiment. Thanks Jodie for sending this great recipe in and by the way, I love the styling!

Hi,
The above recipes sound great.
I am off to the shops to stock up. I have lots of silverbeet growing which will be put to good use.
Hi Lorraine
Good luck with your shopping, the silver beet will be excellent for you! It’s great that you are using greens from your own garden. They will be fantastic for your health.
Cheers
Nikki
Hi Nikki,
We have been on these for a week and now we have got in to the habit of chucking things in to the blender, its part of our every day routine. I even take the extra to work to drink throughout the day! Loving it!
Cheers
Rick and Kellie.
While your recipes look amazing… I am a diabetic and I can’t even imagine how many grams of sugar per serving your recipes yield… any insight and/or research done here on your part? Thanks!
Hi Sue
The great news it that you can tailor every recipe to suit your needs. I actually prefer green smoothies that contain less fruit, myself. There will be naturally occurring sugars in any fruit you use. I’m am not a nutritional, so I haven’t broken down of the recipes per serve. It would depend on a lot of things, such as how large the pieces of fruit are, and also how ripe the fruit is. Fruit sugar is certainly one of the healthiest and natural forms of sugar you can have. The dark leafy greens in smoothies will definitely help you with your diabetes. I would suggest you use greens, cucumber and fruits that you like and would eat on any normal day.
Alternatively, perhaps start with the green soups. Blending leafy greens with vegetables will also be excellent for your health. I would recommend if you are making the green soups, it’s best not overheat the soup. You can actually gently warm the soup in our WHIZ Chimp Blender. If your blender is not able to do this, just warm your soup on the stove, don’t boil it. Changing to a raw food diet will also really make a difference to your diabetes. Just food for thought! Hope this is helpful for you.
Wishing you lots of health, love and happiness,
Nikki
