I just tried the glowing green smoothie for the first time today. I defititely want to tweak the receipe. The pears I had were not very juicy and I think I would prefer more equal parts spinach to romaine.. Does anyone have any other additions they have tried? Open to ideas. I didn't hate the tase, mostly the texture was a problem.

    I love it and drink one almost every day. I've stopped using romaine (for the most part) and like kale, swiss chard or even collard greens instead. I try to stick to roughly the same proportions. Also, I bumped up the water a bit as it was too thick.

    My recipe for one day's drink: 2 c. water, 1/2 banana, 1/2 apple, 1/2 pear, 1/4 lemon (this one fluctuates the most depending on the size of the lemons), 1 stick celery, 1 bit parsley, 1/2 sm. zucchini, BIG handful (about 3 oz.) of two different greens: spinach, kale, collard greens, romaine . . . .

    Some days are better than others. Some days I choke it down knowing my body loves it and other days I really savor it because the combination turned out just right. I keep drinking it, though, because my body really does love it.
