that's the kind of thing I was thinking of. Juicing the leafy greens and the nuts. I just don't know how else I would even eat an almond.Juices can be a bit hit and miss. The act of juicing is almost like partially digesting and breaking down the fibre and cellulose in fruits/veggies... therefore making the sugar in them a lot more accessible.
That said, juices that are protein rich can be slower to digest and breakdown. As a diabetic I avoid making fruit juices, but I do blend in spinach, chia seeds, and sometimes coconut cream into my usual protein powder. I'm also thinking of experimenting later with other greens. I have in mind to make a spinach, broccoli, and chia seeds (my new obsession) with some ginger and a pinch of chilli to make a more savoury green smoothie.

I feel like giving the NutriBullet a try. You're right, experimentation is the key.
thanks Luceeloo
Nice one! lol @ unsuspectingI've never seen the nutribullet before! Just googled it. Wonder if I could sneak that on my wedding gift list and let some unsuspecting relative purchase it... I'm sure my other half would agree to it lol.

I would imagine so. A soup is a good way to get a variety of nutrients. In fact that is another thing I should get into, soup or stew of some sort.Would this be the same when making soup?
