Ok thanks for the help all.

It's funny that you mention to drink them slowly as I've pretty much been downing a glass (maybe 1.75 cups) of smoothie in seconds. Each smoothie I make is roughly 2.5 glasses and I feel quite full afterwards, though I only feel that way for a few hours.

The smoothies I've been making lately havent involved any fatty raw foods as I'm still eating some unraw food such as bagels and cereal in the morning, which has quite a bit of PB&J on it

The smmothies I've been making over the past few days have bee 3 organic bananas, 1 gala apple, and 8-12 mid-sized strawberries. Depending on how I want the smoothie to taste I may or may not add green, but I usually have at least 1 that I make with green.

By green I mean a "mixed greens" container I purchased which has various types of lettuce and some other stuff, I'll have to look at the package, and the same type of just Spinach. All organic. I was pleasently surprised at how inexpensive those were, they were about $4.50 each and its like a freakin huge container, it'l last me forever, it will probably go bad before I consume it all.

I don't have a scale or anything but I'd say I was putting about 2 fist fulls of the greens in the smoothies I made. Not a loose fist but like a slightly clenched fist full of greens, haha. I'd just grab a fist full of each and throw it in the blender.

I find those smoothies don't taste all that geat so I'll have to experiment with different fruits that will overpower the poor taste of the greens. I've never been a fan of spinach or pretty much any kind of vegetable my whole life, so it may just be that I'm more sensitive to their taste than a regular person.

I've gotta say though that I've only been doing this since I made this post, and I haven't been 100% raw...maybe 75-80% and even going that far, every time I see an ad on TV for a Pizza Hut P-Zone I start getting huge cravings for that kind of food. As I think I said in my previous post, I have not been a vegetarian/vegan at all previous to this eating raw. I haven't had any meat for like a week, and I want some greasy pizza real bad lol.
