CLEAN IT UP! (YOUR INSIDES) WITH GREEN SMOOTHIES....

Ok so who woulda thunk it?! Green Smoothies are the ish! As someone always looking to be on the cutting edge of what’s poppin in the health and fitness world, I ran across a message board where they were discussing the deliciousness of “Green Smoothies” and of course I was instantly intrigued. A Green Smoothie consists of fruit and leafy green veggies thrown into your blender and pureed to a smooth consistency.

See “How to make a Green Smoothie” below:



Depending upon what kind of fruit you throw in there it will turn varying colors of green (or purple if you like to use blueberries like me). The fruit totally camouflages the green taste you would expect and is quite a remarkable taste sensation. I use the following recipe but keep in mind if you try Green Smoothies you can freestyle it whatever way you choose:

1 Cup of Strawberries
1/2 Cup of Blueberries
1 Banana
1 TBLS of Flax Oil or Virgin Coconut Oil (Optional)
½ Cup of Pineapple (sometimes I throw that in there)
1 Handful of Lacinato Kale
1 Handful of Spinach
1 Handful of Mache Rosettes
1 Cup of Water
A couple cubes of Ice
A little Organic Agave Nectar (Optional)

AND BAM!!! You end up with one helluva healthy concoction! Energy out the ass and great skin. I get pure joy just thinking of what all those wonderful antioxidants are doing for my body. Even if you are a horrible eater and pay very little attention to your nutritional needs just try adding this as one meal a day and continue eating as you already do and you will still reap wonderful benefits. Also cop the book “Green for Life” to educate yourself about the benefits of daily green smoothies. Trust me you will absolutely love it!
