Green Smoothies - Powerful Healing Drink

A great way to start on a energetic enhancing lifestyle is to start with a green smoothie, every day first thing in the morning. Smoothies are drinks blending your whole fruits and vegetables. Green smoothies are highly nutritious, a complete food and easy to digest. Green smoothies are easy for the body to digest, since we are already breaking down the tough fiber plant material with the high-speed blender. If you have a busy lifestyle, they are quick and easy to make with little clean up. Green smoothies taste great because the fruit dominates the taste over the greens.

Greens are rich in almost all essential minerals and vitamins, including protein. Greens are chlorophyll rich having the healing properties of the chlorophyll. The chlorophyll molecule is nearly identical to that of hemoglobin, whose single atom of iron replaces one atom of magnesium. A few examples of greens are collard greens, kale, romaine lettuce, spinach, swiss chard and many more.


When you start out preparing green smoothies, start with 60% fruit and 40% greens, gradually switching to 60% greens and 40% fruit. If you have never had green smoothies before, start out with 1/2 cup of greens and gradually increase as your taste buds change. It is also a good idea to rotate the type of greens you use on a daily basis. Variety is the spice of life!
