I was watching dateline NBC last night and Doctor Oz made his green breakfast drink on the program.  I might incorporate into my daily routine. I believe he mentioned it's anti-inflammatory properties-

2 cups Spinach

2 cups Cucumbers

1 stalk celery

1 bunch parsley

2 apples

1/2 lime & 1/2 lemon

1 carrot

Pineapple

All blended together or prepared in a juicer.

Anyone ever try this?  Sounds like it might be good for the gut if you can handle fresh juice.

Isnt that a lot of parsley?

Yikes don't think I could drink that but thats just me.

Sounds OK...what's the reason (as per Dr. Oz) one would want to drink this?

freddy, you only get a miniscule amount of juice from parsley so you need a whole bunch.

i have all the ingredients in my house right now but i just HATE green juices! ehh they just taste like grass to me.

Sweet I watched part of this yesterday, thanks for posting! I love juicing. Did he say what juicer he used? I have the Jack Lalane but the motor is going. I bet Vitamix is a great one too. I bought the ninja but that sucks, unless you want to puree and chop things, juicing it gross.

Yeah, before even I went to this routine, I developed serious constipation and went into flare.

I have tried it. No benefit UCwise and it tasted terrible.

therearemiracles-he didn't say what kind of juicer he was using. It looked pretty top of the line though.

There is a lot of pineapple in it so I'm thinking the taste might not be that bad. I'm going to make it tonight and have it for breakfast tomorrow.

indy, i don't know how often you make green juice, but it tastes even worse the next day i've noticed. the fruit particles all separate from the water/juice and it's hard to get them to combine again- even with a lot of shaking. blahh.

anyway, let us know what you think.

All juices are really suppose to be consumed right after making because the air getting to it robs it of it nutrients fast is what I read. So make it and drink up right away.

I don't know why people still listen to him.

Dude, Oprah endorses him!!!

I made it tonight and it tasted pretty good. The pineapple and citrus covered up a lot of the other flavors. However, I doubt I'll make it again. It took about 20-25 min to prep and make with my juicer and it's a little pricey to purchase the fruit and veggies.

Oprah also endorsed Dr. Phil.

I can't even imagine drinking anything with cucumbers in it. That is one taste I can't tolerate, and nothing can cover it up. And I second the whole green juice thing - it's not nice to look at.

Oh, just throw in whatever vegetables and fruits you have. It's delicious and your system gets used to it so it doesn't make you have D or C. I don't even pass gas with these green drinks. I stopped sharting. Yay Me!

I was kidding about Oprah. I think some people who watch her are in some kind of cult.
Posted 1/8/2013 2:45 PM (GMT 0)
It definitely does not taste/smell as good on the 2nd day. I poured a glass of the green drink this morning and my wife said it smelled like one of the cats vomited. Thus ends my ultra-brief experimentation with the Green Drink.

Oprah also endorses Dr Phil....who is a quack IMO...
about juices: i just dont find them practical from a time and cost perspective.

Step 1: create list of random ingredients
Step 2: tell people to throw it in a blender
Step 3: note that its super healthy
Step 4: im rich!

I want facts and proof not statements. So far as lemonhead says "no go".
