I really appreciate this recipe. I think I will try throwing in some mixed veggies for flavor and you can never eat too many veggies. Unless you can. I actually have no clue. Can a person eat too many veggies?

Something similar happened to me when I was younger from drinking too much orange juice. My hands and feet turned yellow from drinking it so often, but it's not completely my fault that it was my beverage of choice. Ahh, sweet orange juice. I hardly ever drink it anymore.

Too much Vitamin C is also bad.

So I guess, in answer to your question, I guess it is possible to have too many fruits and veggies. ;)

Would that really be having too much though? I don't remember any other negative effects besides discoloration of the skin, but is that really so bad to consider it to be too much?

Well, I know different vegetables contain different chemicals. When I used to take boxing classes, someone told me that if I ever started to do veggie smoothies that I should have a lot of variety and rotate the vegetables I use to reduce the risk of alkaloid buildup. I'm not a nutritionist, so I don't know if that's actually a thing or just bro-science.

My research says that alkaloid buildup is in fact a reasonable concern, just in case you were still curious about it
