Blending Photo Gallery

My Blending

Fruits and Vegetables make beautiful pictures. This gallery gives you an idea of the amounts and varieties of raw fruits and vegetables that can be consumed in green drinks and smoothies. My Vegetable to Fruit ratio normally ranges around 70/30.


Romo Tomato, Collard Greens, Red Grapes, Yellow Squash, Red Delicious Apple, Red Pepper, Broccoli and Cucumber.


Ready to blend…

Fruit offset the better taste of some raw vegetables. But not all fruit are created equal when it comes to sweetening. Some fruit I use solely for their nutritional value and others for both nutrition and their ability to contribute enough sweetness to over come bitterness of veggie blends. My favorite ripe sweeteners are bananas, grapes, pineapples, mangos, apples, oranges, peaches, and pears. Nutritionally, there are many other standouts with sweetening value, like blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, melons, plums and kiwi.


Pear, Collards, Cauliflower, Zucchini, Yellow Pepper, Blue Berries, Baby Carrots, and Banana.


Red and Yellow Chards, Tomato, Red Pear, and Mango


Most greens being used are Organic. Regardless, all fruits and vegetables are rinsed thoroughly.


Cucumber, grapes, red kale, lemon, broccoli, apple, and carrot


Turnip Greens, Beet Root, Broccoli, carrot and grapes


I add at least a cup of orange juice or water to each blend.
