Green smoothie
People who have introduced green smoothies in to their diets have reported many health benefits. Raw food eaters in particular have embraced this nutritional powerhouse to boost their already nutritious diet, and to find that missing element to achieving excellent health and vitality.
What are they?
Green smoothies are smoothies with greens blended through them. Quite simple really. Greens are incredibly nutritious, however people struggle to eat enough of them with regard to quantity and many find them hard to digest. It has been suggested that this is due to not having enough stomach acid and not having enough jaw strength to chew them till they are a creamy consistency. Blended greens have their structure ripped apart and are effectively pre-digested. Adding fruit makes them taste great and is also a clever way of getting alot of fruit into your diet, which most people don't have enough of in addition to enough greens.
Below I have Our Daily Green Fuel recipe . Enjoy!!
2 c. filtered or distilled water per person
1 large handful spinach per person
1 leaf kale
1 leaf collard greens
1 leaf Swiss chard (red or green)
3 sprigs curly parsley
1 banana frozen or not frozen add ½ banana per person after the first person
½ apple seeds and peeling
½ pear seeds and peeling
1 fruit of your choice like pitted peach, seeded mango, kiwi, strawberries; berries of your choice just remember if you put dark berries it will change the color of the smoothie, but not the taste. Melons do not go well with the ingredients in this smoothie.
Blend all this in a blender until creamy smooth. This yields about 1 quart. Drink with your breakfast and or lunch but drink as a 3rd meal replacement. If you want to make a 3 day supply that is fine. It will last for 3 days in the fridge. This drink might make you feel tired for the first 3 -5 days as it will detox you. But it will soon start to give you lots of energy
