I think the key is that these are RAW greens, loaded with nutrients ... and freezing preserves the vast majority of vitamins / minerals and enzymes. Often, something like cooked brocolli (which most people consider "healthy" can be overheated and will lose its value). With the "green drink", one could essentially make up whatever combination you wish ... things like parsley, beet greens, colard greens, any kind of sprouts (POTENT nutrition!) etc etc. I personally avoid spinach ... for several reasons, and kale can be too bitter. But, there are many other options. I vary the recipe every couple of weeks. And thoroughly blending these raw veges also helps with digestion.
A great book about sprouts is "The complete guide to sprouting" by Steve Meyerwitz ... cured himself of asthma and a few other chronic ills.
Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food. ... uttered by a far wiser person than I.
One of these days I'll list some of the other "weird" things I do. But honestly ... I NEVER get sick and have more energy at mid life than I had as a teenager.
Life can be great ... one little habit at a time. C.C.

CC,
Question: Isn't the "bitterness" of kale, spinach, and perhaps chard a function of alkalinity?
Mark
Hi Mark,
Fresh picked Kale is usually not bitter. It's storage at warm temperatures that create the bitter taste.
The longer it's stored ... and the warmer ... the more bitter. There are highly alkaline drinks, like wheatgrass juice that CAN (depending on where you buy it) taste quite sweet. Of course this is a function of the soil it's grown in.
And MSS, my friend, I agree with you about decaf coffee ... too long to go into reasons, but the further processing into decaf is WORSE than drinking caffeine.
But, why should humans need uppers and downers (coffee and alcohol ... or other drugs) ... why can't we FEEL life the way it is? Why must we numb our senses? Getting to that state can be hard, but I think a drug free life is the only way to live
(okay, I have some wine occasionally ... but I'm talking about HABITUAL use). We humans do not have to have drug crutches ... such habits are just culturally conditioned ... we are brainwashed into believing that these things are NORMAL. But, they are not normal or natural or needed. There is a way to live well, without uppers or downers ... problem is, people are too afraid to experience this balance.
When you really tune into your senses and feel a bit tired, perhaps a nap is what your body is wanting ... not a jolt of caffeine. Listen to your body ... HEALING IS WITHIN YOU. As is your spirit.
Be well MSS ... do what you think is best ... if you're results are good ... no need to change.
Kind regards, C.C.

"This whole area of coffee and heart disease has been brewing with inconsistent evidence of harmful effect," said Dr. Lawrence Appel of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Dr. Ronald Krauss, a nutrition expert from the University of California at Berkeley who is on the heart association's board of directors, said the theory needed testing in a bigger study. Until then, this one "should not be the basis for making any recommendations to the public,"
Well that's very clear.
I do not drink decaf. What a waste of time!
I understand that Decaf coffee was originally discovered as bags of coffee sitting on the decks of ships during long ocean voyages were washed with the salty sea spray thus leaching out the precious caffeine.
This coffee was obviously ruined! However quick thinking found a new marketing scheme for this useless cargo!
There are postivie properties to coffee.
(Of course extremes in anything are almost always harmful.)
So as I sip my morning coffee black, I'm enjoying it's antioxident/neuroprotective properties.

NOTE: I am currently in training for St. Patrick's Day.
So later tonight I will be enjoying the antioxidant properties of Guiness beer.
