ALLOWED VARIATONS
Always be sure to INCLUDE 1 APPLE for every drink. Keep your blendie drink SIMPLE. Do not add too many different things. The easier and more basic the drink, the easier for the body to absorb.
Dr. Max Gerson discovered that certain vegetables and fruits caused more problems that benefits for his patients. Therefore we do not recommend ALL fruits and vegetables. Below is a list of only the recommended best variations.

Recommended Vegetables
All Dark Green Leafy Lettuces

NOTES

Why blend instead of juice?
Blending is done in a blender. Juicing is done is a juicer. Blended drinks contain fiber and pulp. Juices contain little fiber and pulp.
First of all, juicing is great when someone is ill and requires high nutrition with the least digestion.
But, for those who are fairly healthy, blending is best. Why? Because:
1. Blended drinks contain valuable fiber and pulp.
2. Blended drinks are ECONOMICAL. The peelings and pulp contain valuable nutrition.
3. Blended drinks help satiate the appetite. You feel fuller and more satisfied.

    I love smoothies. Will just measure all ingredients and calculate nutritional value that way.
