Hey guys, I don't know if this is a silly question but...I've been trying to incorporate more greens into my diet lately and they've been making me feel EXTREMELY ill - like, keeps-me-up-at-night sick... I'm not sure what to do :-/
Has anyone experienced this/anyone have any insight? I almost thought I woudn't be able to eat today (honestly from stomach pains), but I'm currently eating some melon and I feel totally fine.

Have you tried green smoothies? Smoothies are nice because they are really simple and therefore easier on your stomach and your digestion. Banana spinach is my favorite..
