What kind of smoothies are you hoping to make? What are your current diet restrictions or recommendations?

Currently I cannot eat alot of ruffage and fruits whole or cooked...can have potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas etc...chicken and fish and some meat...I actually started the green smoothies yesterday and getting more fruit and veggies than have been in a while! I am just wondering if anyone else does this and do they eat only these or incorporate food? I am planning to have bland suppers and have these through out dday ...hoping to ease the belly for a bit...

Even when you put ruffage and greens into smoothies, you're getting that hard to digest fiber so keep that in mind. I am juicing greens and other higher fiber foods to remove the fiber. Sometimes I add the juice to a smoothie with banana & kefir.
