Green Smoothies
Help You Get Your Veggies
Green smoothies, ounce for ounce, are some of the most nutrient-dense meals on the planet. A green smoothie is loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and enzymes that come in a whole-food form. The concentrated nutrients in green smoothies will improve your health and build up your body’s defenses against disease.
When fruits and vegetables get blended, the plant fibers are broken down just like you do when you chew them; the blender literally does most of the “chewing” for you. And chewing food more thoroughly means that you’ll absorb more of the nutrients.
Healthy green smoothies retain the fiber from the fruits and the vegetables you use. The fiber works to improve digestion and helps your body naturally rid itself of toxins. Fiber also helps you feel satisfyingly full, and stay that way longer.Overcoming Obstacles to Making a Green Smoothie. There are several things that can make creating green smoothies more difficult. For starters, leafy green vegetables that make green smoothies so healthy are harder to break down. If you like a smoother consistency, you might want a heavy duty blender like the VitaMix or Blendtec.
You will also need a good supply of fresh, organic greens to use as ingredients. Conventionally- grown leafy greens have one of the highest concentrations of pesticides of any vegetable, so you’ll be consuming more toxins along with the nutrients unless you use organic produce.
Finally, let’s not forget the fact that many people don’t enjoy the taste of dark-green, leafy vegetables, at least not enough to eat them on a daily basis!
Purelife Green Superfoods – for Easy Green Smoothies. The busy and smart person’s way to make a health green smoothie is to substitute green superfood powder for fresh greens. These are essentially concentrated reductions of the most nutrient-dense green foods known. They include field grasses like wheat or barley grass, organically-grown under the best conditions, or algae-based green foods such spirulina or chlorella.
Recommended Starter
for Your Green SmoothiesMost smoothie recipes call for some liquid to allow the solid ingredients to move around inside the blender and give your smoothie the right thickness. This base liquid can be plain water, milk, yogurt, soy milk, nut milks, or fruit juice. If you want your smoothie to provide optimum health benefits, you’ll want to pick the right one.
Chilling Your Green Smoothies
There are two ways of chilling your healthy smoothie recipes: using frozen fruit — or adding ice cubes.
• Ice Cubes — a good way of thinning down a smoothie that’s too thick and chilling it at the same time.
• Frozen Fruit — has the advantage of not diluting the taste, and also giving your smoothie a creamier texture. It’s very easy and convenient to create a stash of frozen cut-up fruit, so you always have some on hand.
Green Smoothie Recipes
Green smoothies offer a great opportunity to experiment and try different combinations that will please your palate. Use the recipes below as an inspiration to concoct your own favorite, or try whatever you’ve got in the refrigerator at the moment.
Many smoothie recipes call for the use of milk or yogurt. I personally don’t recommend the use of dairy products, but I will leave this up to you. I suggest using water or a nut milk instead, and that’s what you’ll find in the recipes below. Substitute regular milk or yogurt if you prefer.

Juice the beets in a juicer. Strain the beet juice and pour into a blender container. Add the pineapple chunks, water, ginger, and lemon juice to the blender and blend until liquefied. Pour the juice through a large strainer, if desired.
Mango fruit is a great source of beta carotene and vitamin C.
It is also chuck full of other nutrients.
Mangoes contain an enzyme with stomach soothing properties similar to papain found in papayas.
Adding spinach to the smoothie makes a real nutrition powerhouse.

Drinking a green smoothie a day was the best health decision I've ever made. I wish more people would read this article and come up with some ideas to implement it as a part of their own healthy diet routine.

I’m looking for a “green drink” that I will actually enjoy. The Banana Kale juice drink sounds delicious. I will take a look at your products.
Thank you for the recipes.

You are welcome Abby. The Banana Kale drink is very delicious . especially if you let the well ripe banana get frozen in the freezer before blending.
All the best.

I heard that kale can be very bitter – is there a way to get around this, like always blending or juicing it with an apple or maybe a carrot to sweeten it up a bit?
-
I juice kale along with carrots,beet,celery a little lemon,an apple.You should not use too much Kale each time, it would definitely turn you off from juicing.
Another way is to get kale powder and make capsules with i, or you can buy kale capsules.
