      Hi Sergei, thank you for the info. I especially liked that you can still eat what you ate prior to the challenge.
      Sergei, can you buy me this Vitamix blender Vitamix 62826 Vita-Prep 3 Food Blender. I really want it, but can't afford it, so will you please buy it for me.

    I just started using smoothies for my breakfast. My doctor was happy and surprised when I took the blood test, AIC and even mammogram. She called me and told me, everything in the exams are normal. My AIC, my cholesterol and other things are normal. WOW, i how happy I am for the first time I am 80 years old.

      Thanks for the video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Taparton Complete Cleanse Takeover (do a google search)? It is a good one off guide for discovering a really effective health cleanse without the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my old buddy Taylor after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.

      I had the same results I lost 30 pounds and my doctor said my blood test was perfect. I had heart damage from my medicine I take and it healed itself. I believe in the green smoothie. My skin changed too it’s normally dry even in the summer, but it was really moist and I didn’t need Shea butter or virgin coconut out. Keep up with the smoothies they really work.

    Tip: I buy one or two bags of baby spinach at a time, then blend it into liquid (with about 1/2 c of water), then pour it into a couple of ice cube trays. When the recipe calls for spinach, I use about 4 cubes.

      Where I live (Denmark) every supermarket has frozen spinach and kale. It's easier to always have this in your freezer, and also cheaper :) I also always freeze very ripe bananas to use in smoothies. Frozen bananas give amazing creamy texture :)
      TIP: Frozen bananas blended on their own makes a really delicious 'ice cream'. Eat as is, or add cacao powder for a healthy chocolate ice cream :)

    I’ve been making smoothies for over 3 years. I haven’t got a cold, Covid, or the flu because of this. I usually use kale and spinach, bananas, berries and blueberries. I have never had any of those side effects. Lately I have been growing my own sprouts and add them to my smoothies.

    Thank you for sharing your recipes! I needed some fresh ideas. 4 of my family members had cancer at the same time. We lost 2 but then I started researching, bought about 50 toxicology and medical books. It was crazy to learn about how toxic the poisons are in our so called food. Plus the non Organic is irradiated with ionizing radiation. Seriously, how can this be legal? What is more crazy is that when I shared this...literally, no one cared. After eating raw plant based, I take zero medications, I now have 20/20 vision, my temperature is back up to normal with no Hashimoto's (thyroiditis) and I have no kidney disease. Plus, at 57 years old, my skin is so nice, I can go without makeup. I love your videos!, I wish I had learned about your family's teaching about 10 years ago! You are awesome!

    Well over a decade ago, when i first found the benefits of green smoothies, there was a book from a woman named Victoria Boutenko, which was basically THE book on green smoothies. She shared how she raised her kids using that way of eating. I must say, it is really cool to come back years later and see that woman's kids all grown up, AND still sharing the story!

    I was drinking green smoothies for about six months & lost 32llbs . I was weighing 160 lbs before and when as low as 128 lbs.I never felt so good in all my life. Recently, I started experiencing tingling & numbness in the tips of my fingers of both hands & throbbing pain in both calves. I stopped using the green smoothies but the pain & numbness continued. I started exercising doing some brisk walking and started eating sardines, eggs& salmon I am now feeling much better. I now understand from your video since I was using Kale all the time.

Also, my husband had a colonoscopy and he had great results and the doctor said "we will see you in 10 years for another check up"..A simple change for my husband who has diabetes, asthma and HBP, he now looks forward to his smoothie and I have also included my 2 year old son that he now pretends he is making smoothies for me and his daddy haha.

      @@tausenti there's no such thing as 'bad' sugars because it implies that there are 'good' sugars, which is not the case. Feel free to experiment with your smoothies but I suspect they are loaded with fructose. So, if I were you I'd be keeping a close watch on those blood sugar levels and liver function (i.e due to a high risk of development of fatty liver).

Buying green powdered smoothie mixes have had no appeal to me at all. I have always shopped twice a week to keep veggies and fruits fresh, so your 5 day grocery list with recipes and demonstrations of how the portions look (bunch, 1/2 a bunch etc.) and easiest way to remove fruits from skins etc. just simplifies and speeds up the prep time and takes all of the guess work out of it! What a gift! THANK YOU SO MUCH for coming up with this helpful and healthful idea! You are very much appreciated Sergei!!!

    I have done the green smoothie challenge religiously for 7 weeks. I am pretty disappointed I didn't have the results that others did. I have trouble sleeping and that persists. I don't have a lot of aches and pains but I am 60 and I have some and honestly that hasn't changed at all. The only benefit is that I KNOW this is good for me to eat a bunch of greens every day. I have to believe it is doing something if I don't have the results. Honestly if I could sleep I would do ANYTHING! I have a busy stressful job and I need sleep. Lack of sleep prevents me from exercising sometimes, and I am just exhausted. Now I am trying a water challenge and honestly so far that isn't working as promised either

    Thank you so much Sergei. I started making a green smoothie everyday and into just day 3, I noticed I was not having hot flashes like I was. In the last 2 weeks I've had maybe 3 hot flashes and they were minimal. Over the last year, I had been having hot flashes every 2 or 3 hours and they were progressively getting worse. I also have more energy. I'm drinking a green smoothie (Half fruit and half greens with a little Diakon radish) for lunch and then for dinner steamed broccoli with one sardine and one slice of organic sprouted whole grain bread. I find I need the fish oil and just that little bit of animal protein and the bread makes my stomach feel full. I may cut out the bread, but for now it seems to be fine. As for the broccoli, it is a Cruciferous vegetable. I'm about to rotate these vegetables. In my research, all centenarians ate Cruciferous vegetables. They help cell regeneration and help produce enzymes in the liver to eliminate environmental toxins. Thank you for your dedication and making these videos. :)

    Hi Sergey, just had to reach out and thank you for kick starting my path to get healthy again. Watched your videos about foraging for wild greens... I’ve tried a new one every day last week. So far, so good. Tonight I had my first smoothie, though, I kind of had to make up one of my own with the ingredients I had. Went shopping and found a beautiful bunch of organic beets. So I used all the beet greens, a frozen banana, a gala apple and about 6-7 fresh strawberries with tops. It was very tasty, though the banana could have been a little more ripe, and the greens had a small cabbagey smell, but it was pink when all blended and tasted like a strawberry banana milk shake! I’m hooked! But I’ll be following your recipes for the next 30 days. Thanks for being you!
