Green smoothies yay or nay for you?

These recipes are loaded with carbs, sugars and calories. Most importantly...calories with no restriction.  Why would anyone have WLS with the expectation of restriction, only to drink tons of calories with ease. 

Frankly, I think it's crazy to cut up your body only to find ways to avoid the whole point of the surgery. I give the Veteran OHers credit for pointing out how ridiculous it is.  It's important that new people do not fall for a load of crap with no basis in science.

Very smart woman you are!

You are like me -I want to vomit when I see guacamole- but I love the taste of firm avocados and try to eat them every day. As far as smoothies I love the green apple one, with plain greek yogurt lemon juice avocado and protein powder

I make these all the time now that I have a Nutri Bullet. Sometimes the taste is ok , sometimes the taste is Not So Ok, I make myself drink them because I know it has lots of great nutrition value. I do this all the time. Lots of foods and drinks I don't like but eat or drink them because of all the health benefits of them. I got a whole case of protein drinks for free and cant stand the taste so I put them in my coffee and is good to drink. I try not to waste anything drinkable or eatable if it has lots of nutrition value.

This thread is way to long...I had to stop and drink a protein shake just for enough energy to continue.  This is as good as any soap opera I have viewed!!

The take home message is: Gosh, "can't we all just get along?"  You folks are a hoot!!!
