I think that it would be interesting to try, as I LOVE the idea of NOT cooking. Who has time for that?
Keep me posted!

RD, there really isn't a crash course, the two websites I posted are really where I've gotten most of my information from. The second website is all about and recipes for green smoothie, something I drink EVERRRRYYY MORNING, without fail. For me, I have my green smoothie (that I make in a blender, though I think I need a juicer) about 4 or 5 cups, depending on how much water and how many fruits I use. The green smoothie isn't for the faint of heart, so I'ma post what I put in it. Some folks will turn their nose up or make an ugly face, but it's the most filling food I've had in all my "dieting" years.
1 1/2 cup kale greens (I use my hands and grab a huge handful)
1 pear
1 apple
1 banana
1 celery stalk
1 cup water (or more if you'd like)
(make sure you cut up your fruits)
I put in water, then the bananas and kale. I start blending till it's liquid, then I add in the rest gradually, till it's all smooth. I add some protien powerder, since the fruit and Kale give you fiber and let the blender run till I'm sure all fruits are completely blended. I pour in a big water bottle with the plastic straw, and head out the door. I'm done by the I get to work, rinse our my cup and go about my day.
I bring fruits and some nuts with me to snack on during the day and always a salad for lunch. And because they are all high density foods, I'm NEVER hungery.
Remember, for me, it started out as a clense and a way to get over my wall, now, I can't do without my green smoothie in the mornings..
