Are there any nutrient interactions or potential issues with mixing fruit and vegetables in a green smoothie?
There are varying philosophies about food combining. We don’t pay much attention to them. Basically, if it feels good, do it! Most natural health experts agree that blending fruit and leafy greens is healthy and beneficial. Where some health experts disagree is on blending other vegetables with fruit, or blending non-sweet fruit like tomatoes with sweet fruit. Our feeling (and experience) is that if you add a tomato or two to a green smoothie and you enjoy it and you do not experience any digestive difficulty or other health issues – particularly with your skin – then it’s perfectly fine.
