Let's juice it
ereino:
I have been given this recipe from a friend and really like it and it has loads of nutritional value:
Ingredients:
1/4 medium tomato (approx 1.25 net carbs)
1/4 avacado (approx 1.25 net carbs)
1 kale leaf (I don't know what to say here - on the web it says 1/4 pound or 4 oz raw is 9 net carbs - so, how much does one large leaf of kale weigh? - I didn't weigh it - so maybe we can effectively say it is 1.25 net carbs????)
2 teaspoons of ground flax seed (I think flax seed has as many carbs as it has fiber so zero net carbs)
1/2 cup cold water (or however much you want to use to maintain a nice rich and somewhat thick to not so thick consistency yet where you can eat with a spoon.)
Total 3.75 net carbs (anyone else want to take a crack at the count...be my guest - this really isn't an area I like to get into, but I do see the value in it.)
BLEND ALL INGREDIENTS TOGETHER
Okay, I know some people out there are going NO WAY - BUT, I happen to like really different textured foods and I found this to be a pleasant taste and texture. I typically have this in the morning three days a week when I get to work so all of the folks can go - OH GOOD GRIEF - WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT!

hi ereino. I love juicing my veggies. I haven't juiced a tomato yet. but i do get all of my green veggies in a glass. more than i can eat. I still eat veggies but this has made me feel wonderful. I haven't blended mine. a friend of mine does. i use a juicer. thank you for sharing!
ereino:
Hi, thanks...I have a submerging blender and just blend it in the plastic container that came with the blender. Zip and it's done. I'm glad as I don't have to get my food processor all dirty and have to clean it. Take care and happy juicing!

I've never been a juicer or blender guy but this certainly packs a nutritional punch! 8)
