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.

PURELIFE  SUPER GREEN FOOD

Recommended Starter
for Your Green Smoothies

Most 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.

e)Best Blenders and Items to make a great smoothie 

As a very busy business owner,a wife and a very hands on mother of two, I put all my time into everyone and everything else, caring very little about my health. I was aware that I should be eating vegetables,which I often did,but a mare handful on the side of my dinner would make me feel like I am being kind to my body.As a Jamaican, white rice was the main staple and of course Pork was a major part of the protein I consumed along with other red meats like oxtail and goat on a daily basis.Sodas and bottled fruit juices were the main drinks that I consumed with meals. I must say I had quite a bit of water during the days at work ,but surely not enough to alkalize  the acid I took into my body through the sodas and other junk food that I ate.

                I had my regular check ups at my doctors and thought I lead a very healthy lifestyle. I however started having stomach problems, for which I was treated and told that these stomach conditions were because of my busy lifestyle. I began having the heart burns and stomach problems more frequently ,was treated always with the same medicine  and continued my lifestyle and the same eating habits.I started having allergies and frequent head-aches for which I just casually took painkillers and anti-histamines .This went on for years.not realizing that I was in a spiral going down in health. I started feeling really stressed out and tired very often, contributing all this to the business I ran.I finally sold the business and migrated to the U.S.A.After a few months of rest I noticed I got more and more tired, My stomach got worse ,to the point where I could not eat most foods, They would give me very bad heart burns. The head aches continued and  I lost over thirty pounds not being able to eat much.I remember clearly one day I drove to the supermarket to buy some stuff for dinner that evening and I could not get up from the car. I was so weak, that I had to sit for a while before I pulled myself up by holding on to the door,then the top of the car. I realized that day that I was in really poor health.I got weaker each day as I was not getting much nutrients for my body to even function much more to be healthy!! I kept going to doctors and emergency rooms in Hospitals and was put through various tests and given many different medicines in attempt to help me to “feel better”.One Doctor told me I had developed stomach ulcers which usually lead to stomach cancer. I got sick and tire of being sick and tire.

My family started getting very concerned and one day my Mom said to me. ”I bought some calcium and something called enzymes from a TV commercial and they said it was good for everything !! At that time in my life I was willing to try anything !! The doctors basically were just trying out the different medications on me which were not helping at all. I tried the enzymes and on the same day I noticed I could eat a little without my stomach hurting bad.By this time I had been watching Dr. Don Colbert a well known Natural Health Doctor from Florida and had bought his books which taught me the foods never to eat and the foods we should always eat.He also talks about taking enzymes with meals for better digestion and that made me realize I was on the right path.Due to the fact that eating was so hard on my stomach, I started juicing vegetables (especially the dark leafy greens) and taking the enzymes after each drinkI also did a series of DETOX.I bought some super green foods(dark green leafy vegetable ground up in powder form) at the health food store and made smoothies which my entire family drank.The smoothies were so delicious that my kids who were 10 and 14 at that time looked forward to having it.Look for veg. smoothie recipes here.I kept juicing fresh vegetables and drinking smoothies with the various vegetables so I could get enough nutrients in my body.I started feeling much better after about two weeks and incorporated regular foods like brown rice,regular salads, fruits,fish (from the ocean),nuts,organic chicken and other healthy foods.Taking enzymes, Juicing vegetables ,fruits and making smoothies has been a part of my life ever since and I have never had another problem with my stomach since.I sometimes leave out juicing but my green superfood smoothies are always a quick alternative without the mess.

My entire family has watched this transition in my life and we all live healthy by this changed lifestyle. Vegetables such as cabbage,broccoli,kale,wheat grass,spinach and calaloo has changed my life.They are packed with all the    nutrients,enzymes,antioxidants,vitamins and minerals we need to prevent cancer,heart disease,strokes and most other degenerative diseases. I believe that without starting to juice the vegetables and drink smoothies from the green superfood, I would certainly not be writing this article . The vegetable juices and green superfood that I believe in has turned my health and life around . This lifestyle has never seized to amaze me !!  My husband who suffered a mild stroke and was told he would have to be on Plavix for the rest of his life has been cleared for the past eight years and is in great health. What can I say !! Green superfood and juicing vegetables and fruits has changed our family and we are forever Thankful !!!!

Role In Weight Loss

Moringa leaves are low in fat and highly nutritional. Because they are packed with so many nutrients, they offer dieters a healthy alternative to eating many higher calorie foods, according to the Moringa Garden Circle. Moringa leaves provide 42 percent of the recommended daily minimum requirement for protein, and 125 percent of the recommended daily minimum requirement for calcium. The B vitamins in moringa leaves also help you digest and convert foods to energy and may increase your metabolism, according to MoringaTreeofLife.com. Moringa leaves may be eaten raw, cooked or taken as a tea, making them a convenient food and nutrition source. Most evidence pertaining to moringa leaves and weight loss is anecdotal, however, so always consult your health care professional before using moringa leaves for weight loss.

The moringa’s role in weight loss efforts may be chiefly attributable to the plant’s low-fat, high-nutrient qualities that make it an acceptable, low-calorie substitute for many other foods. Moringa is also high in Vitamins B1, B2 and B3, which your body needs to convert food to energy instead of storing it as fat, according to the Moringa Tree of Life organization

Our parents always say “AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN A POUND OF CURE”.

In today’s society it is so much harder to maintain a healthy lifestyle.We have everything at our finger tips.The car is parked out side to take us anywhere,The elevator takes us up the stairs so we no longer have to walk,The vending machines have ready snacks for us and of course the micro wave will give us a hot meal in seconds !How many times we stop at the fast food chain to pick up a value meal for the kids on the way to practice. Our fast pace lifestyle is slowly killing us,yet we work so hard to enjoy  a ”great life”.

STOP! TAKE A DEEP BREATH ! We have to plan ahead.There is a wise saying,”if we fail to plan,we plan to fail”. Think ahead,plan for the week ahead.Purchase three different types of nuts ,some raisins and some dried cranberries. Mix them all together ,you will now have trailmix snacks to take everywhere !!An apple,an orange or a banana is just as filling as the snacks in the vending machine, yet so much more nutritious.A salad with left over chicken and a little of your favourite dressing in a separate container is a delicious yet healthy lunch or maybe your choice could be the left over chicken made into a delicious sandwich with all the trimmings you like,Start by doing this at least three times a week.For smaller children it will take a little more time breaking them in.Instead of a sudden change,learn how to incorporate veggies into their meals,you will have to be creative,but hey they are well worth it !!

Once you have made better food choices for you and your family,take time out to exercise ! even just a walk three times a week. Now that you do not have to go buy lunch take that time and add a few more steps in your day.Ten thousand steps a day is an awesome habit for your heart and appearance.While I waited on my kids at practice I took that time to walk ,you have to learn to juggle good habits just the way we do it in our everyday lives.Swimming is also another family fun thing while everyone gets a work out.Never make the mistake to boldly announce that the family is on the path of healthy living !!You will be fighting an uphill battle .Small daily changes will make it happen,in no time it will become a pattern.

Healthy water is something that you should make sure that your family gets enough of.A brita water filter jug is  great to have and the family will enjoy the taste .I personally try to avoid too much plastic water bottles, as certain chemical from the plastic seeps into the water during transporting in the heat.

Below is a list of great food choice we can have and another list of foods we should avoid,to ensure a healthier life.

THE SAFEST WAY TO EAT IS TO GO AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN TO NATURE.FOODS ORGANICALLY GROWN  IS BEST ,BUT IF NOT, MAKE SURE THEY ARE PROPERLY WASHED . Added insurance is a multi-vitamin,this will ensure that your family gets all the nutrients that they do not get from the food they eat.

Remember no matter how we eat healthy and exercise ,the body gets toxins from various channels. Regular Detoxing is extremely important ,as this is the ONLY way to get rid of free radicals , carcinogens and major toxins that accumulates in the body.

Simple lifestyle changes will get you on your way to a great future.Never forget!! AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN A POUND OF CURE.

Detox your blood with herbs that are available.A detox may be performed to help with a variety of ailments. The most common reasons to detox is to help the body become healthier to look younger and to loose weight. Other reasons include a detox from alcohol and drugs. It is common to ingest many harmful substances like nicotine, caffeine, fatty foods, saturated fats and more. In addition to commercial products for detoxing there are natural herbs to help DETOX your body.Many things contribute to the buildup of toxins in our bodies, such as years of unhealthy eating habits, exposure to chemicals and breathing in environmental pollutants. This can lead to physical problems and illnesses. HERBAL DETOX remedies help the body remove toxins and other harmful substances that can cause illnesses.

Herbal teas are absorbed by the digestive system and help to eliminate waste. Herbal baths allow the skin to absorb purifying herbal properties and to release toxins through the pores. Culinary herbs, such as garlic and parsley, are popular ways to cleanse the digestive system and boost the immune system.Read more on the various DETOX HERBS .

Detox is not a quick fix process and should never be rushed.
We should cleanse in stages and since the liver is the major organ responsible for regulating hormones and removing toxins from the blood,we should start there.After all,if the liver is going to function effectively ,it cannot be backed up.Two or three cup of milk thistle tea a day for a week will help cleanse the liver and prepare it for further cleansing action.The following week: a cup of milk thistle tea and a cup of dandelion tea will help the kidneys in getting rid of the dangerous toxin buildup inside the body. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER

Once these organs have gotten the jump start,the rest of the detox will just flow.The herbs listed in the DETOX section will purify the blood and take out the toxins and impurities lurking to form diseases(one week process)Always end the detox with another week of cleanse for the liver and kidneys.one cup of milk thistle tea and a cup of dandelion tea each day . It makes no sense taking garbage from your house and leaving it on the steps,All the garbage has to be cleared away to get that nice ,light ,clean feeling.

During the first few days of a fast ,you will feel symptoms of weakness,tiredness,dizziness,nausea,sore throat and head aches.This should disappear after a few day.

We should detox the blood at least twice each year and incorporate herbs in our daily lives.It will add years to our lives and helps us to feel a lot more alive. 

As always consult your Doctor before the start of any detox and notify your Doctor of any herbs you take ,as some herbs might have a negative reaction with some medication. ‘Pure Life Herbs’ from our Herbalist, now available in our product section.
I hope this article on how to detox your blood ,
was helpful and will help you to live a more productive life.
