Do I need a high-performance blender for the 7-Day Kickstart?
During the Kickstart you recive 7 simple Green Smoothie recipes with very different ingredients. Some of them include very fibrous leafy greens, which can only be blended to a creamy fineness with a more powerful high-speed blender. If you don't have a high-speed blender at home, you can simply replace these ingredients with more easily to process leafy greens like baby spinach or lamb's lettuce.
We look forward to guiding you through your first green smoothie steps!

The "basic ingredients list" is manageable - most items are already in the house, assuming one tends to eat more veggies and salads
Surely, smoothies will be a frequent feature on my menu going forward:o)
Thank you very much for the inspiration!

thank you very much for the 7-Day Kickstart - for me, all very good information. In the future, I will definitely replace one or two meals with a healthy smoothie. The information was really helpful and good, as I have never dealt with smoothies before.
Thank you for that!

All the best to you,

unfortunately, I haven't been able to try out the current recipes yet, as I currently have limited capacity and thought that I could choose the start of the week after registration. However, every day I make my green smoothie in the morning with my Vitamix blender that I got for Christmas, and I am absolutely thrilled. I also use spinach, kale, celery, parsley, carrot greens, nettle, ground elder, chickweed, lamb's lettuce, corn salad, cauliflower, various lettuces, and pear, apples, persimmons, blueberries or pineapple alternately. I haven't been able to download the recipes as a PDF yet, so that I can also implement your great ideas.
You're doing a great job. Thank you.
All the best to you and enjoy your green creations!
Carla
The green smoothie is my favorite
we can understand that very well :)
Best regards,
Carla
the 7-Day Kickstart was absolutely enriching and inspiring for me - a super all-round info package on everything that is green and does good. Thank you so much! Have been making green smoothies for myself for a while now, but the topic had fallen asleep a bit and has been reawakened. I also like your site overall, totally informative and nicely laid out with great photos that whet your appetite for healthy things. I ordered an Omega Slow Juicer from you last year and have used it almost exclusively for celery juice. I have looked in your juicer recipes and want to try me here. Let the slow juicer show what else it can do. First I will test the fennel juice with orange and cayenne pepper and the carrot juice, things are already purchased. Glad that I am newly inspired at the beginning of the year and start with your green ideas :-)
what a nice feedback to our 7-Day Kickstart! Thank you very much - we are very happy to have inspired you.
The fennel juice with orange and cayenne is one of my absolute favorite recipes. I'm curious to hear what you think of it.
Love and all the best,
Carla
Best regards from Leipzig, Anita
thank you very much for your comment. We are very happy that our 7-Day Kickstart inspires you. Keep up the good work and let us know how you like to prepare your green breakfast.

Carla
Thank you for your tips, they have been helpful and sound throughout.
Best regards
Anja
thank you very much for your detailed comment! How nice that the green smoothies do you so well and the 7-Day Kickstart has provided you with helpful info :)
Making almond butter in the blender sometimes requires a bit more experimentation - we've been there. Especially also when the almonds have different quality or we roasted them too short or too long. Just try again.
Warm regards and all the best for you,
Carla
The starter brochure is great and I'm already excited to try more great recipes.
Best regards from Potsdam,
Simone
thank you very much for your comment. We are glad that you start so satisfied and inspired in the smoothie world.
Have fun with your blender!
Carla
that makes us very happy - thank you for your nice comment.
All the best for you and much joy with your blender and the smoothies!
Carla
Thank you very much for the great explanations and suggestions. I enjoy a smoothie every morning and find each one delicious in its own way.
Best regards, Susanne
We're very happy about that - thank you also for your comment on the 7-day kickstart.
All the best for you,
Carla
vielen Dank für die leckeren Rezepte.
Evergreen= alles gut
Sonne im Glas = alles gut
Mamagold = Mangold ersetzt durch Spinat, gefrorene Mango, da blieben beim Mixen gleich die Messer stehen !!!! (Vitamix 750) hab dann manuell probiert, bis es wieder ging. Kann das dem Gerät schaden?? Dachte, man kann auch Eis so herstellen.
Erdbeermund= alles gut, hab aber diesmal frische Erdbeeren verwendet, keine gefrorenen.
Sweetheart= alles gut
Violetta= schmeckte fade, nur nach Banane, farblich nicht so wie auf dem Foto nur leicht violett. Stimmt die Mengenangabe 80g. Heidelbeeren? hab frische verwendet. Mir hats Spaß gemacht und werde mit die Rezepte variieren, hab nicht immer alles parat. Liebe Grüße Jürging
Thank you for the detailed recipe feedback.
The Vitamix Pro 750 should not have any issues with blending frozen mango - perhaps next time, try thawing it briefly. As you mentioned, you can also use it to make nice cream.
If you found the "Violette" smoothie a bit bland, simply add more blueberries.
All the best to you,
Carla
Thank you for your feedback on the Kickstart. It's great to hear that you participated. It's completely normal to occasionally make mistakes, especially in the beginning. The ripeness of the fruits is also crucial, as it determines the drinkability of the green smoothies. Just greens and water wouldn't be very convincing :)
If you have any questions about the preparation, feel free to reach out at any time.
Best regards,
Carla
Thank you for your comment and for participating in the Kickstart.
Please let us know how you like the smoothies - enjoy and have fun trying them out.
Best regards,
Carla
At the moment, I'm only eating your recipes. The day starts with celery juice, and then I continue with all sorts of smoothies. I'm a diabetic, and it's working great for me. I also eat a lot of salads and vegetables. I have also done the detox cleanse twice. I'm thrilled! Keep up the great work, thank you for the amazing recipes.
Lots of love,
Anne
Thank you very much for the lovely feedback on our recipes. We are delighted to hear that they are working well for you. Wonderful!
All the best,
Carla
Here is the recipe (per person) for our "summer evening":
1/2 peeled grapefruit
1 banana
1/2 lime: the juice and a small piece of the peel
1 sprig of mint, leaves only
3 to 4 large kohlrabi leaves, stems removed
about 3 to 4 ice cubes (to keep the mixture cool)
about 150 ml water
Roughly chop the soft fruits and place them in the container, add the lime, then the mint leaves and the slightly torn kohlrabi leaves. Add the ice cubes and water. Blend briefly on a lower setting, just enough to catch and roughly crush the ice cubes with the blades. Then blend on the highest setting for about 1 minute. With the Bianco Di Puro+, we use the green smoothie program, which has the advantage of ending automatically so we don't have to monitor the blending process. Tip: To prevent the ice cubes from becoming too large during blending, only fill the compartments in the ice cube tray halfway with water. Special tip: We use the vacuum pump from Bianco, which removes the air from the container, reducing the oxygen exposure during blending. It's absolutely not necessary since the blending process is already short and the smoothie is consumed immediately, but we swear by it and find the texture even more pleasant.
It's wonderful to hear that the 7-day Kickstart has introduced you so well to the world of green smoothies. Thank you very much for your recipe, including the wonderful association with summer :)
I wish you continued joy with your Bianco di Puro and, of course, with green smoothies.
Best regards,
Carla
Thank you very much for the condensed knowledge input. It makes the start easier and provides so many wonderful inspirations to replicate and try out.
We are delighted to hear that you gained so much from our 7-day kickstart for getting started with green smoothies.
Wishing you all the best,
Warm regards,
Carla
Your website is great, keep it up!

All the best for you,

Thank you so much for the tips and recipes. I have tried a few recipes and am thrilled. Through your tips I could also already mix my own creations and am very satisfied.
this is how it should be: Become a green smoothies expert in 1 week :)
How nice that we were able to help you get started in the world of green smoothies.
Best regards and thank you for your participation,
Carla
Thank you for the good work!
Christine
Green smoothies make you feel full. They contain all the fibre of the ingredients. This is definitely an advantage of green smoothies, if you want to lose a little weight without starving.
Love, Carla
I am doing interval fasting. This week I'm having my smoothie for lunch. Hhmm, delicious.
We are curious which recipe you like best?:)
Have fun and especially enjoy trying it out.
Best regards,
Carla
Kind regards
Brigitte
that's great that you are taking off right away with the kickstart :)
Keep it up!
We wish you all the best and much pleasure with green smoothies.
Cordially, Carla
We are very pleased!!! Nice that the Evergreen has once again lived up to its name :)
Keep it up!
Thank you for participating in the 7-day kickstart!
Love,
Carla
Kind regards Brigitte
we are of course very pleased that you liked the evergreen. We also really like this smoothie recipe. Keep up the good work and have fun with the 7-Day Kickstart.
Best regards,
Carla
Keep up the good work!
All the best, Carla
I just came across your website yesterday and am very excited how great you have built it. I tried your Evergreen today, and it tasted very good. I think it's great that the recipes are so simple.
Thank you very much
best regards Vera
How nice that you have found the way to our website! Even nicer that Evergreen has lived up to its name :)
Keep up the good work. Best regards,
Carla
I'm a total beginner, and I'm glad I'm getting helpful tips and instructions here. However, I drank the first smoothie the first three days. For me personally, it would be easier if recipes would follow in an order in which you can use the ingredients from the previous day.
glad that we could give you a good start into the world of green smoothies with our 7-Day Kickstart. The recipes are inspirations – you don't have to mix them every day. You did exactly the right thing with the use of leftovers.
Love, Carla
Are there any other recipes available, such as desserts, soups, fruit drinks, coffee, etc.?
I would be interested in that.
I'm still not sure about buying a blender.
But with a wide range of recipes, the decision to purchase a blender would certainly be easier for me.
I would appreciate a response.
Kind regards,
Stephanie Grohmann
For a while now, I have been a regular visitor to your informative website and have long been tempted to purchase a high-speed blender, not least because our dear boss at work spoils us regularly with delicious smoothies. They may not be green, but they consist of self-created "compositions" using everything imaginable: from beetroot to pomegranate to root parsley - everything goes ;-) Most of the time, it actually tastes great :-D I should mention that I work on an organic vegetable farm where we pack organic boxes for customers on a daily basis. So becoming a "green smoothie fan" just makes sense, right?! I can take home freshly picked vegetables every day, and currently, kale, lamb's lettuce, and spinach are in high demand. Even my dogs have been getting freshly pureed fruits and vegetables mixed into their meat for the past 13 years. So why not for us too?! We have been proud owners of a Bianco di Puro for a week now. Since we happened to have company holidays, I had to make my first smoothie with whatever was left in the fridge: celery, apple, banana, lemon... It wasn't bad at all. For New Year's Eve, I even made a fruit smoothie with coconut cream and a "shot." It was also very tasty ;-) I didn't want to buy any greens at the supermarket, so I had to wait until our organic farm reopened. Finally, I made the "classic apple" smoothie following a recipe, and both my friend and I enjoyed it. This morning, we had the "Love Kale" smoothie. My friend found it tasty, although a bit too spicy, but honestly, it nearly knocked my socks off! I found it extremely "green" in taste, too bitter, too spicy (even though I actually like spicy flavors, for example, I love ginger and chili) - so this smoothie was absolutely not to my liking, and I think I followed the recipe quite closely. Instead of 2 large ones, I used 3 smaller pears that were really ripe and sweet, 4 dates, 1 large orange, grated zest (without the white part), water, and kale. However, the leaves were very large. I only used 5 leaves. Maybe it was still too kale-heavy, and perhaps there was too much orange zest and too little water (it was very thick). I don't know... I'm afraid to try another really green smoothie. I would love to have a smoothie every morning now, but of course, it would be a shame to pour everything away if it goes wrong. Are there any "flavorful beginner recipes" maybe?
In any case, keep up the great work, and thank you for the 7-day kickstart!
Warm regards,
Claudia
2 handfuls of young spinach
1 large sweet apple
1 banana
½ ripe avocado
1/8 of an unpeeled lemon
Water to taste
You may also consider starting with a smoothie blend of 60% fruit and 40% greens in general, to gradually get acquainted with the greens, and then slowly transition to a 50/50 ratio. Just see what tastes good and feels right for you. I hope I could assist you in some way. Best regards, Katharina.
yes, I made that classic dish and it really tasted good to us - only the kale didn't quite hit the mark in terms of flavor ;-) But I'll try the tip with an extra splash of lemon juice to mellow it out. Of course, I also removed the stems from the kale. I didn't let it discourage me though, and this morning I still created a smoothie: 1 banana, 1/2 an avocado with half the pit, 1/8 of a lemon with the peel, 1 large apple, 1 handful of lamb's lettuce, 1 handful of spinach, 1/2 teaspoon of spirulina - it was great and I enjoyed it :-)
So, I'm feeling motivated again ;-) Thanks and greetings,
Claudia
I completed the 7-day kickstart today and have become much wiser. Now I know why the smoothie sometimes felt so heavy in my stomach. It was the lack of "purity", as I had added nut or grain milk and other unfavorable ingredients. I also found the tips on combining ingredients very helpful.
Therefore, a heartfelt thank you for the many good tips that have helped me a lot and will accompany me on my journey with my new high-speed blender (Bianco di Puro Forte). Today, I had the first proper smoothie with the new addition. Hmm, it was creamy and wonderfully homogeneous. The avocado seed and everything else simply "dissolved". It's so much fun, and I'm already looking forward to experimenting with the next delicious one...
Thank you once again for your support and warm regards,
Edith
So thank you very much for your fantastic workshop, and now we're moving forward. Lutz mixed the classic following your instructions - in a crazy amount - and it tasted delicious. As the "chef" in the kitchen, he's already a fan of the new "toy," no, an amazing tool, and so practical. We were more quickly convinced to make the purchase than we expected, sorry, unfortunately not with you yet.
Best regards,
Sabine.
thank you for the lovely feedback - it was great to have you there. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us anytime. Warm regards - also to Lutz,
Carla
Thank you very much for the great 7-day program... I've been experimenting with green smoothies for a while now, and I'm still finding it a bit challenging, so your suggestions are coming at just the right time!
Today, I read that highly heated coconut water should not be used. Almost every smoothie I make contains coconut water, so how do I find out if the water has been highly heated or not? There's nothing mentioned on the packaging... I spent a long time in Asia and used to drink fresh coconut water daily there, but unfortunately, it's hardly available here in New Zealand (where I am currently). So, I thought tetra-packs would be a good alternative... apparently not? Is it better to not use any coconut water at all rather than using the one from tetra-packs?
Thank you and best regards!
Evelyn
Best regards, Katharina.
A few weeks ago, my husband bought me a Bianco di Puro blender from your website grueneSmoothies.de because I am so enthusiastic about green smoothies. Well, I went shopping and bought EVERYTHING I saw!!!!! and a lot of it went bad. So, I decided to make a smoothie myself! It tasted HORRIBLE - then I picked a recipe from the book that came with the blender:
1 bunch of parsley, 1 whole cucumber, 2 aromatic apples, 1 small banana
I really liked it! But my husband didn't!! I made the smoothie in the evening and took it to work the next morning. Now, the blender is just sitting there and hasn't been used in a long time, so I want to join the course! This is my second attempt! I still love green smoothies. Maybe I just need more experience and shopping tips.
Thank you in advance.
Looking forward to your response and hoping for a nice weekend.
Sincerely, C. Hauser
I started making green smoothies weeks ago, and I must say, my body has now become accustomed to them. I find them all delicious.
I don't always follow recipes; I just use what I have and what tastes good. You just need to remember the 50:50 ratio of fruits to greens at the beginning, and nothing can go wrong.
Thanks to the people at gruenesmoothies.com for their help, especially in the beginning, and for the great emails they send now.
My smoothie this morning consisted of a small handful of barley grass, which I grow myself, a handful of kale, also self-grown, a handful of beetroot leaves, self-grown as well, a handful of dandelion leaves, a small spoonful of chlorella algae, three dates, an orange, and a kiwi with its skin. Naturally filtered water from a Sanacell filter by GrueneSmoothies.
Give it a try, it tastes delicious.
