I remember watching this live!! I lost 212 pounds following the Dr. V Diet Challenge. These things are crazy delicious 🤤
212 pounds............WOW!!!!
Yes I also lost 238lbs . Just reviewing some of Dr.Vs videos
@@mammywilson6288 which ones? I’m in Pre op and would love to implement these now before surgery
@@mammywilson6288 yes! Which video?
Congratulations!!!!!!
Tip!! I buy my spinach in bulk and freeze it in freezer bags, it's 'fresh' for at least a month or two! ;)
I have actually seen people make freezer smoothie bags with everything you need in it besides the liquid . It saves time if your busy in the morning or just like to pop it in your bullet and go! You could make different combinations so you have variety. You can even freeze banana chunks. Kiwi freezes well too and I quite like it with berries.
Freezing things kills some of the nutrition. Not as much as cooking does. But fresh is always best.
@@singingallalone You can't really kill nutrition and if you freeze for 3-6 mo your food won't deteriorate much.
where do you buy spinach in bulk from?
Thanks
I freeze my ripe bananas (skin them first!) and it makes my smoothies like a milkshake.
Wonder if you can freeze avacodos the same way??
@@ambermoore5376 you can even find avocado already frozen in some stores
@@ambermoore5376 Yes you can :) Take a baking sheet and line it with saran wrap (aka cling wrap). Place you sliced avocado pieces on the baking sheet. Put the baking sheet in the freezer for around 2-3 hours. Remove baking sheet from freezer. Transfer the avocado pieces into a freezer bag.
The reason you need to freeze the avocado pieces on the baking sheet first is because otherwise the pieces will all stick together when it freezes and it is almost impossible to separate them afterwards.
If you break the bananas into chunks, they blend up easily. I freeze them in a big Ziploc bag. About six chunks = one banana.
I freeze my avocados whole. I let them thaw out in the fridge overnight, always ripe when I cut it open. I use the other half either in a salad or the next morning. I buy several avocados when they are on sale.
I have a magic bullet and i make smoothies everyday, they turn out nice and smooth.
Spinach lasts longer in the fridge if you put one or two pieces of paper towel in the bag or box with it. This delays it getting wet or slimy. Sometimes I use half a Banana for a smoothie. I also like to split one in half and stick a popsicle stick in it - a way to have a frozen treat, without the sugar and dairy of ice cream.
Thank you for saying VEGAN protein. I wasn’t going to do this when the dietician handed me a two page list of protein shakes with soy or whey. She also said after to eat chicken then some veg if I have room left. Thank god I already knew about Amazing Grass and green smoothies!!!
My go-to Green Smoothie: 1/3 frozen ripe banana, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, a few frozen strawberries or frozen tart cherries, 1 TBSP ground flax seed, 1 TBSP hemp seeds, 3 or 4 handfuls of Power Greens mix, water.
I love it! Sometimes I even drink a small one for dessert.
I let my bananas get really ripe, peel, slice, put in individual baggies (one per bag for portion control) and freeze.
I made my first green smoothie. It was delicious!!! I used avocado instead of banana. I am in board with this!! Thank you.
throw in some turmeric too. it';s an amazing superfood.
Correct 👏
Makes teeth yellow
I buy a huge bag of frozen fruit at Sams Club. It comes in individual packets that are perfect for a single smoothie. Also, the big pack of baby spinach at Sams is the BOMB. I also use it to saute for breakfast greens... so I don't need to freeze it.
My mother used her juicer to make me some carrots, apples, and a little bit of bell pepper and I've never forgotten how delicious it was!
Ugh “Pus Water”🤢🤮 I will NEVER look at milk the same again!! Thanks Dr. V!!!!😂
Thank you Dr V !!! I’m one year out from my surgery and have started to regain my weight . I have regained 5 lbs. I started eating carbs and sugar . Thank you for this video . I know drinking your green smoothie will help me ☺️
Coconut milk is delicious too
Coconut milk or coconut water?
@@noreenperez8666 High sugar
We use dates,bananas, blue berries, cherries, pineapple, coconut, spinach, carrots, strawberries, blackberries, almond milk (unsweetened), pecans, walnuts, chia seeds. Never the same recipe but its become our nightly desert.
@@noreenperez8666 Both 😊
I use unsweetened coconut milk.
Thanks I’m about 6 to 8 weeks from surgery I’ll try them now so I can fall in love, I love smoothies anyway. I use almond milk I’m happy that’s ok...
4 weeks post opt 45 pounds down I’m gonna give this a try
Wow
Thank you so much! Oh my goodness I was stunned that this actually tastes good! I've never been able to handle the tastes of veggies nor have I ever had soy milk. I had my bariatric nutritionist telling me she hoped I would wake up from surgery and magically like ANY veggie! I really wanted to like this, but was of course skeptical. I am a little over 1.5 year post op sleeve and have been stalled for months after getting way off track. I actually loved it! All I tasted was the banana, which I definitely don't mind! I am a believer!
Quick hint: Cut back on the sugary fruits. Add a quarter teaspoon (or 1/8) of cinnamon powder. Not too much. Excellent at replacing sweetness.
I made my first smoothie! Looked nothing like yours but it had spinach and fruit and almond milk and a bit of water. Thank you Dr V!!!!
I am one week post op and I’m definitely going to try this! Having a very hard time getting my protein in. Thinking of using my protein shake as the liquid.
How are you doing now? I’m
4 days post op. Just started drinking liquids. Protein shakes they gave me. But I would much rather do green smoothies. How did it work for you?
I add protein powder.
Gave this video a thumbs up for saying 'milk is pus water'. :) Love your style, straightforward approach, and your keen insight, brother... Keep up the good work!
First dr to ever say milk is bad, and pus water lol!!! Love this.
I love this guy - he’s the best.
I’m 2 weeks pre op so this video has been very helpful. Thank you.
Dr V your smile is killing me ..since from the moment i see i m a great fan ....
My smoothies are pretty much the same as yours except I like adding half an apple in slices, 2-3 frozen strawberries, a frozen banana, vegan protein powder and at the end i sprinkle some grounded flax and chia seeds and a quick mix with a spoon.
It's such a relief to learn it is okay to start returning to fresh leafy greens and some fruit after a year of being a proteinaholic. This information is so helpful. Thank you
The obsession with protein is out control. No food in nature is only one macro. The focus should be on nutrient dense real whole foods rather than protein protein protein.
Can't believe a character like you lives alone Dr. Vong!
I get the surgery in May of 2019. I live in Kansas ! I appreciate your video's!
I just got mine on Nov 6 2019....went well
i have had surgery twice in my life could of been 3 first was when i had 4 grandmaw seizures, 2nd was a work incident involving a knife and 4 cut tendons or 3 cant remember, the 3rd one was the dumbest idea i ever done i was drunk and decided to use my foot as a bipod (for my gun thankfully it was a bbgun) but it punched a hole straight through my toe like i could see through it anyway i decided not to go and im not kidding the next day the hole in my toe was healed no marks well there was a little bump but thats it and i have a image of it on my tracphone but i would have to search the entire house just to find it
but anyone that sees that and drinks dont be dumb and use your feet as a bipod .. dont use a gun in general live and learn from the mistakes
I love, love, love fresh vegetables! However, I am not a huge fan of fruits except for berries especially raspberry and blueberries. Drinking a green soothie would definetely help me increase my fruit intake and could taste really good! I may like it as a thick produce soup! Thanks for your cool demo! Food for recipe development!
I'm human and I just made one and it is fing amazing..
Lived in these smoothies when I started making them a few years ago. Now that I'm on keto I just have the veggies and flavor it with lots of lemon and ginger
Love your videos
Love you so much!!
Thanks Dr. V
I am gonna try that!! Thanks Dr.V!
I love to add spinach in many of my dishes plus bananas in pancakes/muffins and breads! I need to clean up my freezer to add more frozen berries and cherries inside! I kinda like your idea of a green soothie. It is kinda growing on me. Let's play with my new vitamix. I am from the school of eating your nutrients but drinking them too would pack an extra (nutrient) punch. I've been enjoying your videos! Thanks!
You are Awesome Dr V! Love how you are straight forward, honest and keep it real!!!
thanks dr v
TKS! Love your info
Thank you
Love my green smoothies 👍
You go Dr V...love it!
I just love you, thank you for caring about us
This answered all my questions about smoothie textures!!!
Thank you!
So I could use banana protein powder!! I’m type 1 and have to watch my carbs. 12 weeks out from the sleeve and 51lbs down! So glad I found your channnel!!
Angela Setzer you can use banana pudding powder sugar free
Can I add in some of the Absolut Vodka you have on top of your fridge?
Hilarious! 😂
I actually made a green lime, pineapple, spinach, cucumber, ice, celery and tajin Margarita smoothie because my liquid was tequila! It was delicious!
great video
I'm so content that I found you doctor !
New to your channel😊🙌👍
I love Dr. Vuong. This is so much healthier that eating fast food breakfast sandwiches I used to eat.
I love this. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I will def be trying this.
Thank you soooo much!! Made my 1st smoothie and I love it! 🙌🏼
Thank you so much all of your videos are so informative.
You are awesome Dr V. You make the best videos ever.
Outstanding info, thanks
Looks great!
Mic works great while blending.
If you add paper towels (or the like) to your spinach (top and bottom) and place a humidity absorber (local HomeDepot or the like) next to it, I'm tellin ya, my spinach lasts a month, sometimes a bit longer. But yup a whole month minimum! Make sure to refresh the towels when they get to wet thou. Hope this helps some1 out there 💜👍🤗
AJ A I didn’t know about the humidity absorber thank you!! My greens have lasted about two weeks with the towel method so I’m excited to see how the humidity absorber works!
Thanx👍🏼
Imma try this today. I watched video a while ago n im tired of coffee in the morning so imma try this instead

Love this video. I bought myself a Nutribullet because of it. Now I at least I get my leafy greens for the day.
I'm going to try it! Thanks for sharing.
I have been recently researching "green smoothies". I am on a quest to live a better cleaner life style. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I did subscribe to your channel.
I have to try this.
About to make this smoothie in about 15mins 😊
Thank you, Dr. V for sharing valuable helpful TIPS.
Smart doctor
Glad I found your site, I'm signed up for weight loss surgery but freaked out about all the possible side effects afterwards. I don't see why I can try a the bariatric diet/ way of eating without surgery and see how well I can do first. I have been following keto and A1c dropped from 6.9 to 5.4 but no weight loss. Not understanding the whole macro thing compleatly. Thank you for your learning videos and any tips or tricks are always a welcome in my book!
Debbie
Would love to know what microphone you’re using-it’s great!
Wonderful! I'd love to see you do a video of both an example of the salad we should eat and then the sensible dinner!
