Dr. Oz's Green Drink About This Page:

[dejavu]

Dr. Oz was on Oprah today, again talking about a green drink that he has in the mornings. It has spinach, celery, cucumber, parsley, apple, ginger, and lemon in it. Has anyone ever tried this? It sounds like you throw it all in the blender, then drink up. I can't quite imagine what it tastes like...

I think I would definately lose weight if I drank that every day. I can barely read the description without becoming ill.

I think I can tell you what it tastes like:



Disgusting!

[songbird]

Ah, yes!!! But- does it work?

Oprah is looking pretty good these days. She does everything he says.

They quickly ran the recipe on the screen but I did not get all of it. Did anyone else? It was 4 stalks of celery, spinach, apple, parsley, ginger, cucumber, lemon and lime. The ingredients are to be mixed in a blender.

I found this recipe from someone who watched the show. It is not Dr. Oz's recipe, but close:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the things that is preventing people from starting to drink green juices is that they do not know any juice recipes. Since Dr. Oz does not give specific amounts, here is a free green juice recipe! This is just an example of what you could do with Dr. Oz's ingredients to make your own green drink:

Begin With A Green Drink
by Heidi Ohlander

Serves 1-2

Ingredients:
2 big handfuls of Spinach
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1 rib of celery
1 thumb of ginger, skin peeled
1 lemon
1 medium cucumber
2 apples
ice cubes (optional)

In a juicer, place all ingredients except optional ice cubes in a juicer until juiced. Serve in your favorite wine goblet or other favorite glass of choice. If desired, add ice cubes for a refreshing cold beverage.

As always, you can adjust these ingredients to your own liking. Perhaps you really really like cucumber. Great! Add 2 cucumbers instead!

For a starter green juice, I recommend additional apples until you get used to the taste. There is no requirement to start out with swamp water that tastes like swamp water. Start with something fruity. Then over time if you want you can add more greens and less apples. That is why green smoothies are so popular - they are usually 60% or more of fruit, and 40% or less of greens.

The green color is a good indication that you have enough greens in the juice. As long as it is green, you know that you are getting the alkaline benefits of greens.

I pulled this off of Oprah's website. They don't give exact ingredients or amounts, but....

"Dr. Oz says he makes a breakfast drink for himself many mornings that he calls his green drink.

What's in Dr. Oz's green drink?


Spinach
Apple
Parsley
Ginger
Cucumber
Celery
Lemon

Oprah takes a sip and is pleasantly surprised. "It's a glass of fresh," she says.

Dr. Oz's second drink might not be as pleasant, but it's still important—a shot of cod liver oil. "First of all, cod liver oil has the right kind of vitamin D in it—vitamin D3. That's why people who live in the north lands who don't get any sun at all can still survive. It's got the healthy fats that you want in it," Dr. Oz says. "

I like *most* of what's in that combination. I might have to try it someday.

My aunt swears by Dr. Oz. She's lost a great deal of weight following his recommendations. She tells me the green drink tastes good. (doesn't sound so good to me!) She mixes up the ingredients in a blender. She uses her own amounts as Dr. Oz hasn't listed the exact amounts of his green drink.

I think I'll pass on the green drink.

I wanted the exact recipe from the show- so did some research and here it is!!

4 Celery Stalks
1 Cucumber
1 Cup Spinach
1 Lemon
1 Lime
1 Large Apple
1/2 Inch Piece of Ginger
Mix Everything Together In A Blender!
("A Little Parsley" was mentioned when he was describing it to Oprah but not in the list of specific amounts mentioned before the break.)

ENJOY!!

tennteach15,

Thanks for the recipe!

[wheatenwalker]

I really would rather get my calories by crunching and chewing than by drinking them- It might taste good but I could make a big salad and then have an apple and be much more satisfied- just be- gotta have volume and crunch!

[charity.simbeck]

Oprah called the drink a "big glass of fresh." I just tried it and it was more like a big glass of YUCK! It made me gag and almost throw up. I chopped up all of the ingredients and made a giant salald and used Olive oil and Vinegar as dressing. It was MUCH better that way!

[stefffe]

and this is supposed to do what for you????

it better melt 20 lbs a day to make up for how it tastes...... BLECH

[dejavu]

I can't believe 10,000 people were curious to see what's in the Dr. Oz Green Drink!!

I'd rather eat it as a salad too. Although I can't imagine wanting spinach and apples together.
