Thanks for the vote of confidence. Just had my morning drink and realized that I forgot to mention to strain the drink after it comes out of the blender! Use a fine mesh strainer.
Yea, good tap water is probably better than store water -- water can leach out the plastic chemicals while sitting in the new plastic jugs. And as for supermarket produce -- sometimes its actually better than what you'll find in a "healthfood store". We go by the energy we feel from the greens. If its from the supermarket, we wash extra carefully to get rid of possible spray residues. Store-bought "Organic" produce often has spray residues too -- it's just "organic-certified" spray. We try to get everything from local farmers we trust, but of course that's not always possible. BTW, baby spinach leaves are totally different in taste than regular spinach.
