hi @natubat, i have smoothie maker too, but find that as it contains all the pulp its more difficult to get more in the system, .. plus if if i try to smoothie the hardcore stuff like kale and/or spinach i get a belly ache. (apparently that's all the non digestible fibre) which is normally extracted out with a juicer... you are totally correct about the water of life, .. makes me feel a lot better for posting with the health tag, plus i might have a dram to celebrate later. .. hehe, .. thanks for the comments and vote. :-)
