    • Hi Jerry, I’m glad you found my blog. I hope it inspires you to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables along your healing journey. That is amazing that you are taking the initiative to improve your health! Way to go! Detoxing is not something to take lightly or do on your own without guidance. I’d highly recommend getting in touch with a naturopath or holistic nutritionist for some guidance! If you want to work with me on a professional basis, please email me: diane@insightfulbite.com Best regards and be well!

    • Hi Joshua, thanks for stopping by the blog. A diet full of whole foods, including plenty of fruits and vegetables, is definitely the way to go to support your fatty liver! Make sure they’re organic as well! Keep in mind, your entire diet needs to be whole, quality foods. Just drinking 1 healthy smoothie a day without any other changes won’t do much. You can do it!

        • Hi Samantha!
          Smoothies and juicing are quite different as smoothies still contain all the fibre and juicing eliminates the fibre in order to give your digestive system a break, allowing the body to absorb nutrients more easily/quickly. So it depends what you’re goal is for me to say how “effective” it would be; As effective for what?! If you’re going to make a double batch, I’d store the extra in a glass jar, like a mason jar, and fill it all the way to the top. The less air it comes in contact with, the better it will keep. Of course, the frozen banana makes it more creamy, so you’ll loose that extra touch, but it should still taste pretty good the next day! Hope that helps!

    • Hi Michele! Thanks for stopping by the blog! There’s no set number of days or times, it’s just a smoothie to enjoy when you’re feeling like you may have overdone it on liver-taxing things, such as alcohol, or just too much junk food! You won’t overdose on vegetables, so feel free to have it as much as you like until you’re feeling better! Personally, I’ll have it a few days in a row for breakfast when I’m feeling sluggish after a holiday or celebratory weekend!
