I keep hearing about this stuff. Really interesting. I have looked online and found some other blogs that offer some information, but not as much as on this site. Your blog is definitely going in my subscription program!

Hi,
I was googling purslane recipes and I found your site. I too am trying to heal my son of autism. I am new to raw food eating. Eleni, now that you say your child is healed of autism, can he or she have wheat or dairy? Or do you avoid those altogether if you are a raw foodist?

Eleni…I am so inspired by your story….my kids, 3 & 5, are having increasing health problems (ear infections, eczema, allergies, now bronchitis and asthsma)the older they get and the worse that they eat. I breastfed both for around 18 months, and they were such healthy kids the first few years of their lives.
But now, about a month ago, I knew that I needed to do something drastic, so I started with myself. I have been eating 90% raw for about 30 days and feel great, and I keep looking for more green smoothie recipes.
So thank you for the great recipes…yours seem really simple, healthy, and doable!!! Many blessings to your and your family.

I am just getting into going green and raw. I was looking on line at greensmoothiegirl .com. Love the site, but not the price of information. Thank you for posting some recipes for me to start with. I have a grandson with Autism, very low on the spectrum. We have really solved a lot of his prolems through diet, but I now want to introduce my family to the world of green and raw.

Thanks for the green smoothies. My Son has been diagnoses as having Mild autism. Hopefully these smoothies will help him get the vitamins he does not get now as He hates anything green…What are your children’s favorites?

How many calories in a basic green smoothie

My kids like spinach smoothies, I try to add what I can find fresh, organic and in season… berries work and taste great together.
Another option is mango, bananas and a type of green (I like red chard), add stevia if you want it sweet.
My kids’ favorite is Strawberries-Banana-Spinach.
Start with a mild taste, more fruit less greens, as they kids grow to like the smoothie… add more greens.
Another trick, have your child sit on the counter and help you make it, start with fruits he loves and expand your selection in time.
Enjoy!
