GREEN SMOOTHIES

Green Smoothies are a simple way to incorporate large amounts of greens into your diet. Did you know that leafy greens have more valuable nutrients than any other food group? They contain high-quality amino acids, important minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and beneficial phytochemicals (plant-based chemicals also known as phytonutrients). Phytochemicals keep your body’s immune system and body functioning properly, improve health and longevity, and may reduce life- threatening diseases. 

5 REASONS WE LOVE GREEN SMOOTHIES 1. Natural energy booster
2. Natural weight loss drink
3. Simple way to boost your immune system
4. Full of disease-fighting antioxidants
5. Hands down— The best fast food “One of the most delicious and nutritious superfoods in a cup.” — Underground Health Reporter 
What are green smoothies and what’s in it?

We know how hard it can be to get in the daily recommended dose of leafy greens— and we believe green smoothies are the answer. These plant-based drinks are packed with leafy greens, fruits and a liquids… and they taste delicious!

Simple Green Smoothie recipes are easy to make: all you need is a blender, some leafy greens, fruit and water. Incorporating spinach, kale and other super greens into smoothies is a simple way to give your body nutrients it craves.

We like our smoothies as clean and nature-based as possible, which means we try to buy
organic produce, and avoid processed sugars and dairy in our smoothies. We occasionally add coconut water, unsweetened nut milks and superseeds to our green smoothies for added flavor and beneficial nutrients, like protein, calcium and potassium. Feel free to experiment and find what works for you!

All you need is a blender, an open mind, and a willingness to drink your veggies!

BEGINNER’S LUCK GREEN SMOOTHIE

Serves 2 Ingredients
2 cups spinach, fresh (tightly packed)
2 cups water
1 cup mango
1 cup pineapple
2 bananas
TIP 1: Remember to get the smoothest smoothie and to avoid leafy chunks, blend your greens and liquid first, then add the remaining fruits.

TIP 2: Use at least one frozen fruit to make the green smoothie cold.

TIP 3: If you aren’t a big fan of bananas, feel free to substitue for another fruit. You can even freeze the bananas first to reduce the flavor and also add some extra chill to your smoothie.
