Thats a super smoothie. You may like to read the article on this blog about<a href="http://greensmoothiesblog.com/food-combining-in-green-smoothies/" rel="nofollow"> food combining</a>. It suggests that it is not a good idea to add starch (carrots) with fruit. Also, make sure you mix up the greens you use in your smoothies. It is important to rotate your greens. As you get used to green smoothies you may like to increase the amount of kale you put in. Enjoy! Wow! Thats a super smoothie.

Apparently, I shouldn't be using carrots. I started the recipe below with much more fruit than currently listed but have been slowly cutting back on the fruit. I've been making the following smoothies: 5 large kale leaves 1 med carrot 2 stalks of celery 1 small english cucumber 1/2 med avocado 1/2 cup blueberries 4-5 strawberries 1/4 small mango 1/4 small orange 1/2 ripe banana I buy everything fresh when I can find it but I freeze the fruit in order not to add ice and water down the smoothie. Any advice regarding modifications would be appreciated. What about oranges and mangos? Apparently, I shouldn’t be using carrots.
