Love this drink. I never thought i could palate such a drink, but it is delicious. 1 stalk of celery 1 carrot 1/2 red bell pepper 1 scallion 1/5 of a beet 1/5 of a jalapeno 1/4 inch of tumeric root 1 cup of greens (kale) 1/2 of a lemon, juiced 1/2 tsp horseradish 1 cup of ice 1 cup no salt tomato juice ground black pepper At least this is what I am using. I tried to follow along. 🙂 Thanks again Dr. Gregor. 1 week down, the rest of my life to go.
He is so ecstatic drinking that thing. He's got enough energy for a hundred people. His demeanor should be enough to convince people that he has good nutrition advice. Thanks for everything you do Dr. Greger.
Oh beware, he reminds me of the Swedish cook in The Muppet Show and here he sure sounds as if he secretly added half a bottle of of tequila into the magic smoothie mix and had a few already....but all that aside, I sure respect the doctor and his research. Kudos, indeed. Thumb up.
@I like Potatoes Dr. Greger has a huge following. I've hardly ever seen him make a video without referring to medical studies. And, a great personality. You should check him out. He's really brilliant.
@I like Potatoes Do you think every Dr must cut on people ir sit in a little room with patients writing out prescriptions for drugs? LOL Silly little potatoe! Fyi: this amazing Dr gives ALL proceeds to charity. He has a love and passion for what he does and he is great at it. . For Dr's like him its more about prevention, healing, health and educating the patient to heal themselves rather than making money and keeping patients coming back because they stay sick.
@@meetvirginia717 putting other doctors out of business is what every doctor's dream should be. One knows society has suffered hard when people study medicine to earn a lot of money.
Salvation comes in unexpected form. Thank you so much Doctor Greger! In a month, my blood pressure is so low I will need to get off my meds, and my blood sugar is plummeting down. I love you!
I love your ethical non profit approach to all that you do on RU-vid and book publishing and public speaking. Thank you very very much for all that you are doing. You have inspired me to make some significant changes in my life. Because of your ethics... Your message has real authority. Thank you.
Hello Dr. Not sure if you are married, I just know that with all your healthy recipes and your wonderful sense of humor she must be the happiest and healthiest woman on the planet. I know you have made me Happy & Healthy. Thank You for everything you do. You are what every Doctor should be doing, helping people become & staying healthy.
For those without an amazing blender, do chop up your carrot and other things into small pieces first. You can also pop your daily dose of flaxseed into the blender too to be blended with the veggies. And also my weaker blender needs cold water instead of ice cubes to cope lol If u have difficulty with the taste of this smoothie, leave out all the 'hot' items/ condiments and the tomato juice and instead pop in a whole large mango and an apple (chopped) plus some water if needed ... Much more pleasant.
Thanks for all these suggestions! That definitely sounds a lot more palatable for me. (I can't stand the taste of tomato juice.) Also, thanks for sharing your experience without a high-speed blender. Mine's definitely not high speed, although it luckily does crush ice. Hope you're doing well!
Just splendid! Love you, Dr Gregor. NO horseradish for me. Used radishes. Related? No clue. Used a veg peeler on my lemon to keep most zest. I used a HOT Thai pepper, wee 1.5 inch skinny red thing. Then used another whole bag of vegetables to cool the mass down, but not enough. Next time, NO more than a 1/4 of one of those peppers. Tongue is still in great pain. Thanks heaps. I'll never be short on my. vegetables again. WONDERFUL and your book, staring me in the face a while but NOW, I'm really going to open it. Sure I'll love it. You are just the best, best, BEST! NO QUESTION.
Honey Bee a vegan diet simply describes a plant based diet. veganism is pretty much a pro life lifestyle. not sure what sort of other world logic you use to blindly hate vegans.
Chelsea Thorne There is a kitchen one he did from about a decade or more ago that is floating around RU-vid but it doesn't top this one! IIRC, he goes through many of the products you can buy that are plant based alternative plus some kitchen tips.
I’m 44 years old and have had a weight problem for several years. I’m finally stopping the yo-yo fad diet craze and focusing not on weight loss but on putting as much healthy food in my body as possible. I’m starting to have health issues that, after much research, I firmly believe I can reverse with diet and simply walking an hour a day. Your books and videos have CHANGED MY LIFE!! The pharma companies won’t tell us this stuff, people! They want us dependent on their drugs to fatten their pockets! Our bodies want to be healthy but can’t because of the junk we put in them! Keep up the good work, Dr. Greger and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO!! I’m at the beginning of my new healthy lifestyle, y’all. Wish me luck! Hugs and well wishes to everyone here trying to get healthy! WE CAN DO THIS! ❤️💪 Also, if you haven’t downloaded Dr. Greger’s ‘daily dozen’ app, I highly recommend it‼️
Thank you Dr. Gregor, I loved this video. This recipe is similar to a typical Mexican breakfast smoothie that I used to have as a kid at restaurants all throughout Mexico, except this one has a few more things added and does not have pineapple. I have been watching your videos for several years after my best friend, a nutritionist, shared your site with me. Love how you include your sources so I can read the papers that interest me. You are one of the best!
I love you Dr G! Not only are you talented in the kitchen- making such yummy/healthy recipes, but you provide a huge wealth of easy to understand (hilarious), valuable info... that just keeps coming! Not only that, you back up your undescribably helpful knowledge with the facts! You & Dr Fuhrman are my hero’s! Thanks for all you are & all you do! Kaz (Australia) 🤟🤓👍
I've been eating 500g of beets and 125g of arugula daily as snacks at your recommendation. Best heath decision I've made in my life and the difference is hugely noticeable. I think I'll start eating rhubarb regularly too when I find a good place to buy it, since it was no2 on your nitrate list and probably easier to eat lots of than arugula.
Sonja V greater ease of breathing, a kind of smooth flowing sensation in the nostrils, a lot easier time doing cardio exercises, a lower resting heart rate and more calm mental focus
Thank you for being so Awesome Dr. Greger, you are one of the big reasons I turned Vegan. You give me motivation and so much inspiration... your upbeat attitude is contagious 😁🍎🥦🥬🥑🍆🍌🍉🍑🍇🥭🍒🍓🍋🥝🍇🍅
Michael Greger you deserve an award for helping humanity kind sir! I love watching your videos, I love learning about nutrition! It honestly has never been so entertaining & fun! & the fact that all proceeds Dr. Greger gets goes to charity is just like wow! This guy is the man!!! Thank you for your gift of knowledge, you rock!!
This is a great recipe. Also, a good way to use up fresh garden greens and any fresh herbs that are plentiful. Basil, Dill and Cilantro are all fabulous in this recipe.
I just made this. I used a combo of these ingredients and his cookbook ingredients. In his book, they suggest one apple - didn't have it so substituted 2 fresh dates. Instead of jalepeno, I used a very little red pepper. I added cilantro, 1/2 avocado, and 1/2 cup blueberries. Instead of tomato drink, I used a fresh plump tomato. The book suggests 2 tbs chlorella & I substituted spirulina. Delicious! Healthy, happy eating makes for a healthy, happy body! Thanks Dr. Greger
1:59 I cant help but burst into laughter when he makes that face. He's so blaze about putting the celery into the bag. And don't get me started on him actually doing burpees hahaha that cut to him jumping is gold.
It is DELICIOUS! I used spinach instead of kale and blended two tomatoes instead of the tomato juice, and it tastes extraordinary!!! I did not expect this. :) Thank you, Dr. Greger!
Dr. Greger, there's not many people I'd consider cooler than me. But you sir, have made the list. Thanks for being who you are. Incredibly inspiring! Would love to meet you someday!
Love Dr. G!! What a genuine, nerdy, hilarious, nutritional ROCKSTAR! (more info on high blood pressure please!!) Would love to have a beer with him, but I'm afraid it would turn into a non-alcoholic ginger/amla beer with turmeric and black pepper blended into a smoothie!! Yummm...
I am Indian and a vegetarian and several practices that we follow traditionally are seconded by Dr. Greger. I generally look at Western nutritionists with great skepticism as it feels like their research has strong vested interests. However, this guy is just great. So genuine. So much compassion. So much energy. Lovely recipes. May he not die!!
Completely agree. I'm feeling the pressure to do the burpees next time I make this. That and his treadmill walking during interviews are genius tactics to remind his audience to keep moving.
Just finished my first 5 days of Dr. Greger's B12 vitamin blast; woo! loved it~so easy and fantastic for my cells! I did not add the horseradish paste ...yay!
OMG Dr Greger is so FUNNY!! LOL I love his hat too! :) ... but I am sooooo gonna make this smoothie every single morning!!! I already force down a potent green smoothie (half bag of kale & half bag spinach) big chunk of ginger, flaxseed/hemp seeds, celery. lemon juice, wheatgrass with some apple juice... but I'm going to try Dr. Greger's version instead :) I also make a homemade turmeric shot and Amla powder shot every morning!
Hi! I plan to post vid on my channel soon on how I make my turmeric shots :) When I'm feeling lazy I just pour some ground turmeric (about half teaspoon) into a shot glass. Then put few dashes of black pepper (to help absorb the benefits of the turmeric) and then I put some lemon juice with the tiniest dash of cayenne pepper in it and a little bit of coconut water :) Often I also put Amla (Indian Gooseberry) powder into this shot mixture so I can get a huge antioxidant boost. I make my shots this way when I don't feel like having to juice or blend the turmeric roots :)
It's so nice to see a doctor on the internet who isn't trying to get rich flogging his overpriced health products, ie that shyster Mercola. Dr. Gregor is the only doctor I trust for solid dietary advice. He actually reads the research papers before expressing an opinion on a subject.
I usually pour a little water into the close to empty blender container, swish it around and pour it into the glass you made. Usually kind of thick and i hate to waste all that good food. Very good video as is all his videos. Thank you Dr.Greger.
We Love you Dr. Greger! You are our hero!! ((big squishy hugs)) from us girls at simplyplantfood! Keep being and doing what your doing its.. working!! 😀🌱
I have been eating this smoothly for the past 3 days. I thought it would be horrible and that I'd have to hold my nose and down it as fast as I could, but surprisingly it wasn’t bad!! I haven't found vegan horseradish, but I substituted the radish with some garlic and it seemed to work.
“Looks like a little turd” hahahaha. I love how you add a little humor to these videos. I think I’ll try this smoothie now! Also I’m loving the cookbook!! I even got my coworker to purchase it!
