Green Smoothies

The idea behind green smoothies is to get as much greens into your body as possible. There are two kinds – sweet and savory.

Sweet are greens blended with fruit

Savory are greens blended with avocado, herbs, pinks salt, EFA oils etc.

I usually do sweet in the morning and savory in the afternoon/evening.

I do not recommend exceeding two pieces of fruit per smoothie. You could have two pieces of fruit and frozen berries (low glycemic). Things like lemon, mint or ginger can add to the flavor.

Sweet – blend any fruits that appeal to you with different types of greens like:

Kale, Spinach, Parley, Romaine lettuce , Arugula, Cucumber, Celery

Fruit ingredient examples: 2 apples, 2 pears

Lemon, ginger, mint, banana, organic frozen berries

Feel free to experiment.

Here is one example of a fruit smoothie recipe:
