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
Regular Lettuce
Spinach (Spinach gives a rich, green color)
Swiss Chard
Escarole
Watercress (1/4 bunch or 1 light handful)
Endives
2-3 Red Cabbage Leaves
Young, inner beet top leaves
1/4 small green, orange, yellow or red sweet pepper
Sprouts of seeds and grains
Recommended Fruits (Always include at least 1/2 apple with every drink)
1/2 to 1 Apple: Required
Banana
Apricots (organic)
Grapes (organic)
Grapefruit
Orange
Melon
Pears
Plums
Tangerines
Mangoes
Unsulfured dried fruit raisins, date, prunes, apricots, mixed fruit (organic)
~~~
TO BE AVOIDED (Causes unfavorable reactions)
NO PINEAPPLE
NO BERRIES
No AVOCADOS
NO NUTS
NO CUCUMBER
NO CELERY
These fruits and vegetables are either too high in sodium or can cause adverse reactions to the body.

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.
