Mmm...

GS.
I bought a blender the other day, and I've been making GS since.
And it's amazing.
Most people would be compelled by the idea of having 'blended salad' for 'meals'.

You're missing out.

I will admit that I was very unsure of the idea at first, however, once you think about it, it's such a genious idea.
In the morning, your body is still waking up; digesting takes energy. Your body needs to 'warm up' in order to function in its optimal state, and shoving food that is hard to digest isn't probably the best thing.
Same goes for night, aswell.
Your body wants to 'cool down' so that it can rest for the night-it doesn't want to have to be 'excited' to rest.

And it tastes amazing.

I would recommend for any starters, like myself, to have a higher fruit content than veggies at first- it's much easier to take in, especially your tatebuds if you're accustomed to processed foods, cooked foods etc.

But every time I have GS, my body feels so much better- I'm so glad I've got a blender!

Neet.
I've heard good things about smoothies as meals, but majoring in them is new.

From my experiences I certainly agree that digestion takes work and that working to improve how you consume is important. The approach of reducing the amount of energy needed to digest a meal has never crossed my thought patterns before though... Generally increasing the amount of time that a meal takes and involving oneself in the preparation have been my approaches to improving consumption. It does help to have people to share the cooking and eating with though... perhaps the smoothy approach is more suited to a stereotypical student lifestyle.

I'll be stalking you on a regular basis now in an attempt to find out more :)
