Green Drink Love Affair

If you read my last post you can see the evolution of my green drink consumption. It was definitely not a love affair from the beginning, but more so a relationship of necessity. It is still not delicious and at the start was just slightly better than eating a gallon-size salad for 2 hours. Growing up I NEVER ate salad or any raw vegetables unless it came smothered in dressing and came free with a meal. But then came cancer. Since my husband and I decided to forgo chemotherapy and radiation for holistic treatment but I hated eating vegetables, “Green Drink” was one of my answers.

The Birth of Green Drink

Everyday for lunch I have green drink. 64 ounces of green drink. My drink has gone through several different reincarnations. First it was just a salad blended up in my Vitamix at the beginning of my lymphoma diagnosis. This was a survival tactic since I hated salad. It once brought me to tears to eat it, and now raw vegetables make up 90% of my food!

Update 3/2018: This post was originally published as one of my first posts when I started my blog in January, 2011! Back then blog was called “Green Drink Diaries” and little did I know I’d still be doing this seven years later under a new name. 🙂 Recently, this post has been receiving more traffic so I’m giving it a little bit of a boost in content while keeping the original writing. Enjoy.
