Increase your Green Vegetables intake by drinking Smoothies

One of the main components of any healthy diet is eating a sufficient quantity of greens. Yet 95% of people who follow a health diet, do not consume enough green leafy vegetables.

I’ll admit, I often have trouble in eating green vegetables. There are days when I am not able to eat enough of them. I know greens are good. I know I need to eat more greens but I just don’t do it.

And then I discovered a fun way to get more greens into my diet.

Make Green Smoothies

Green smoothies are great and my favorite way to consume a large quantity of greens. When I first heard about green smoothies I was a little skeptical about blending fruit and greens and was surprised by the result.

Here is a sample recipe of Smoothie drink for Optimal Health.

Berry Roman Smoothie:

1 cup strawberries

2 whole bananas

1/2 bunch romain

1/2 to 1 cup water

Blend fruit and water. Add romaine lettuce. Enjoy.

Being Green Smoothie

2 cups fresh spinach

1 whole grated cucumber or carrot

2 whole bananas

1 whole orange

3 whole apples, juiced

In a blender, whirl together all ingredients until thick and smooth.

We know greens are good for us and we should all strive to get more greens in our diet but don’t force yourself to eat more greens if you don’t like them! You’ll get sick easily. Instead, let your innate hunger for greens come back naturally, by slowly incorporating more greens in your diet in the form of green smoothies. You’ll find that as your diet starts to become cleaner, you will naturally crave more greens and raw foods.
