Go Green! oh you smoothy....

If you’re looking for a way to get your greens in daily without having to eat broccoli and asparagus everyday with dinner, then you try green smoothies.

Green smoothies are a great morning pick me up, because they are a quick and easy way to get your daily dose of greens in and they are super tasty. Green smoothies are also a low carbohydrate high fiber concoction that will fill you up and keep you glowing all day. From a nutritious standpoint, green smoothies are great, because most recipes call for raw greens and fruits which are rich in enzymes, which help to promote digestion and elimination, helping those of you are constipated go more regularly. They’re also a great food to include in your diet if you’re trying to slim down and lose weight. It’s been shown that when your body receives the proper nutrients, you lose weight because it’s not craving more food.

Here is 2 of my favourites!

One>

1 handful of fresh organic spinach
1 stalk celery (Optional)
1 mango
enough water to blend into a smooth smoothy! Yummy!

Two>
1 handful of raw watercress
Apple juice,
Banana and flax seed oil

Try adding some herbs, too! I LOVE parsley–it’s so healthy and cleansing. So yesterday’s smoothie had spinach, kale, parsley, and basil. I added three very small peaches, the juice of half a lime, and a banana. It was really yummy!
