Yummy Smoothie—Good for you too!
Some of you may know that I am a big proponent of GREEN SMOOTHIES! I love them for many reasons, the two main ones being they are delicious and also extremely nutritious. They give you mega-greens which infuse your body with tons of needed vitamins and minerals; because they are so tasty it is very easy to incorporate into your daily diet.
The first thing that I did was I invested in a high-speed blender. There are many good ones on the market; I chose the Blendtec Wild Side Blender (after trying out Vita Mix and returning it). I ordered it through Amazon.com…I have used it almost daily since I bought it back in June!
Secondly, you have to purchase organic produce. There is not much point in taking your time and money to enhance your health if you are going to buy tainted or chemically drenched produce. During the summer months I also grew fresh greens in my garden so I used those in my smoothies.
Thirdly, choose a variety of greens and fruits that you use in your smoothies so that your vitamin and mineral mix is varied. It will also keep your diet interesting so you won’t get bored.
Here is the green smoothie I made this morning:
Large handful of organic spinach (or dandelion greens or any other mild-tasting green)
2-3 large ripe organic peaches
7-9 ripe organic strawberries (or handful of raspberries)
Handful of frozen blackberries (also organic)
1 cup of low-sugar orange juice
1 cup of water
Blend well and enjoy!
