Green smoothies are great for breakfast. Usually I'll do an apple and raw almond butter instead because I'm so cold in the mornings and a smoothie doesn't help with that. But during the summer months I do green smoothies for sure.

My favorite is spinach, frozen mango, frozen mixed berries, vegan protein powder, chia seeds, and sometimes coconut oil. If you are new to green smoothies I recommend starting with spinach, you can't taste it at all. Then you can start working more "green" with stuff like kale and denser greens, and maybe even less fruit.

is the protein powder better than tofu?

I mash up a banana with a tbsp of almond butter and mix in shredded coconut and flax seeds. It tastes like dessert and also gets rid of my craving for oatmeal-like substances :]

you might be interested in a VITAMIX, it's what I have and it's amazing.

Juicers merely extract juice and leave behind all the important nutrients, pulp, skins, its all essential.

The Vitamix pulverizes the whole fruit (or vegetable) into a fiber packed, nutrient rich juice or smoothie.

I've had mine for almost a year, i use it at least twice a day. it

I love a raw seed granola with goji berries and raw almond milk. It makes a nice change in the winter from smoothies.

I have not gone totally raw but this is what I have for breakfast. I call it a raw veggy taco salad. I cook one egg or melt some cheese or put a small amount of cooked chicken breast on a small low-carb tortilla. Then I put on a combination of raw vegetables which might include lettuce, tomatoes, red peppers, zucchini, asparagus, broccoli, carrots, celery, spinach -- whatever I've bought from the produce section. Then I put a generous amount of salsa which is a wonderful salad dressing because the calorie count is so low. It makes a very filling meal for under 300 calories, all full of good vitamins and enzymes.

I'm another fan of green smoothies for breakfast. I basically put in whatever I have on hand. Today it was celery, blueberries and banana which made an awesome thick smoothie. Yesterday it was spinach, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and kiwi berry for a great summery taste. And so on. I also eat various nuts on the side - almonds, cashews, walnuts - to fill me up and round out breakfast. Sometimes I soak grains - oatmeal, barley, etc - and add fruit (dates, bananas, dried cherries, raisins, cranberries and the like) along with seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, chia, flax) and/or nuts for a satisfying meal. I will also make a 'Mexican breakfast salad' with avocado, tomatoes, fresh corn, onions, bell pepper and dress it with salsa. During the week I don't vary things much because I don't have much time before work. On the weekends I decide which culture's cuisine I feel like having, take their typical ingredients in a raw form and put it together in a way that's appealing to me.

I think there's no end to the ways we can creatively eat raw!
