Yes! I use the nutri bullet, and you always are supposed to put in 1/2 greens and 1/2 fruit (then add Protein powder). The fruit covers the taste of the greens. Try mild tasting greens too, like baby spinach. I like to add a little avocado for creaminess. You can also add splenda to sweeten, or a prune or two will also sweeten it. I have felt sooooo much better since I started doing these shakes! Try googling "nutri bullet recipes" there's tons online.

Best of luck!

OMG...I just got the Nutri bullet too... lol I paid enough for it so I will drink a green smoothie even if it kills me lol

I make a killer chocolate Peanut Butter banna Protein shake.... but everytime I make a green smoothie ... I wave my fists in the air and yell " Why must you taste like Grass " yuk..... Then I watch Doctor OZ and his smoothies taste like Grass too.... lol

I will try putting avacados into it like you mentioned and I might do a 50/50 spinach , lettuce just to break up the taste a little... I never thought to sweeten with some prunes.. I will try that too, because it helps with Constipation lol.. ok thanks for the great ideas, I will try that next time sounds good....

By the way in case you are interested, you can make it in your nutri bullet.

Killer chocolate Protein Shake recipe

1/2 banna

8 oz of Low Carb Milk or Almond Milk

1 scoop of Jay Robb Chocolate whey Protein powder

1 tbls of Hershey's cocoa natural unsweetened

1 tbls of powdered Peanut Butter (company that makes it is Bell Plantation) called PB2

4 ice cubes....... try this it is to die for......Yummy

I found that I had to adjust the ratio of greens to fruit over time. I probably started at 70% fruit and 30% greens. Now I am the opposite but it took time. Mild veggies like spinach, kale and lettuces are a good choice. I also find that I have to let my smoothies sit for awhile, Sleevie does not like all the air/foam in them when first blended.

I consume a green drink every day. And yes, they taste like grass. To remedy this, I always add in a little bit of pineapple coconut Water Enhancer and the taste comes out a million times better. For 10-12 ounces of green drink, it only takes a few squirts. The brand I like to use is Dasani Water enhancer. I typically uses green drink like green vibrance, so has about about 80 different veggies, fruits and herbs. The alfalfa is always the "grass" taste for me.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
