Eating Healthy - Green Smoothies

Green smoothies are tasty blends of leafy vegetables and fruit. They are easy to prepare, chock-full of all the important nutrients and are a great way to up your intake of greens considerably.

We all know that we should be consuming lots of serving per day of green leafy vegetables, but most persons find that they simply abhor eating vegetables, especially in large quantities.

The secret to eating adequate greens can be found in consuming green smoothies.

Taste Factor Most persons take some time to 'warm' up to the idea of consuming blended greens. But not to worry - they do taste divine, I kid you not! Green smoothies a largely made of diverse fruit such as raspberries, bananas, strawberries and so on.

However, for starters, you can use what you have until you can purchase a new one.

If you are using a regular blender, you may want to consider chopping the ingredients prior to adding them to the blender, so as not to put too much strain on your blender. It also may be a good idea to blend in portions - blend half of fruits and greens first, then add the remaining portion and blend again

Here goes: Fill your blender with approximately four (4) cups of water. Add greens to blender and blend on high speed, until you are unable to identify the leaves. Then add your fruit - mango, bananas, apples, berries, etc - they can be used together, feel free to experiment with different fruit variations.

Blend again until smooth. Serve and drink fresh. While there is certainly no hard and fast rule about making a green smoothie, there are certain greens such as kale, chard, lettuce which lend themselves well to the process. Frozen fruits are especially good in green smoothies, particularly when the weather is warm. You may also add ice cubes if you so desire.

Green smoothies are a complete meal, it is always best to consume them alone and not with any other foods. In doing this you will be ensuring that you body is able to absorb the maximum nutritional value from the smoothie, and you digestive system won't be overworked.

Numerous green smoothie drinkers have reported drastic improvement in their health; most have experienced lower blood pressure, regular bowel movements, disappearance of shin blemishes as well as fewer asthma attacks and increased sex drive.
