5 Delicious Green Smoothie Recipes to Boost Your Health
April 02, 2014Green smoothies are beyond healthy for you. It can be difficult for some to adjust to adding them in their diet but you'd be surprised how much your body starts to crave them. You start to crave fewer sweets and unhealthy fats while you develop clearer mind and skin. As your energy starts to increase, you start to see how your body is "supposed" to feel on a day to day basis.
You can never eat too many greens, and the reason why is because they offer a vast amount of nutrition. Green smoothies happen to have a high amount of antioxidants and phytonutrients that give your body the best defenses for disease. Some other benefits include being high in fiber, chlorophyll, vitamins, and minerals. It is recommended that we eat at least five servings, if not more, of fruits and vegetables each day. If you add a green smoothie daily, it makes it easier to obtain this goal.
I developed five green smoothies that you will absolutely love! These aren't supposed to taste harsh or unappetizing. Instead, they're supposed to make you feel renewed and clean. I hope you enjoy drinking all of these wonderful blends throughout your week to nourish your body and enhance your overall lifestyle.
