I made my first ever green smoothie (frozen kale, frozen berries in the blender) yesterday. I had a maybe 12 oz glass of it yesterday and another today. I'm thinking these may not be the right thing for me because I've had liquid #2s last evening and today. No cramping or bad gas though.
For those of you who juice or do these smoothie things, would the the bananas I failed to add make the difference? I'm going to try adding them, drinking less of the stuff, and give it a more time. I use plenty of veggies in my general cooking, so if this doesn't work out, I won't be devastated.
I'm curious about other people's experiences in with juicing/smoothies.
Also, did anyone read this article--front page of NYTimes magazine--about our bodies bacterial world? It was fascinating and has a lot of implications for people who have to be on antibiotics all the time. Made me want to figure out which probiotic the article referred to that was the ONLY one in a study of several brands that actually contained what it claimed to contain.
