    Ask your doctor for a list of safe and unsafe vegetables. "Green" is an awfully general statement.

    I do have a list.
    I was just interested in what others eat and how do they prepare it.

    My hubby is on warfarin andhe avoids too much broccolli or spinach. He didn't get a list or anything though so he just eats what he did before the op.

    I never realized you could put veggies in a magic bullet

    You may also want to check with your pharmacist. They often have more detailed knowledge of the potential interactions.

    I am also on Warfarin, and was specifically told anything green. At first, I thought it was just dark green, but surprise, surprise iceburg lettuce is ridiculously high in Vit K.

    I eat a lot of fruits and try to find other vegetables to munch on. I am only going to be on it for a year though, so I am just trying to deal until then.
