What is a Green Smoothie?

And why would you want to drink one?

A raw food smoothie is nature's complete and perfect food. Essentially they consist of fresh, raw and preferable organic fruits, water and organic greens ( along with a blender to mix them up!) And why are they so good for you? They can help you to lose weight, fight disease and live your best life possible.

We are what we eat. How many times have you heard the greens are good for you? Or to eat your vegetables? We've all heard it. But did you know that you and your family can 'drink your greens?'

Fruit and vegetable smoothies are incredibly nutritious. They are a complete food as opposed to juices because they retain the pulp and the fibre. They are easy to make and to clean up afterwards.

Yummy Raw Smoothie Recipes

You can! And they taste fantastic. A green smoothie is simply a raw fruit smoothie that has fresh leafy greens blended into it creating a perfect, healthy, nutritious drink that tastes great and provides your body with the nutrients that it needs.

Our culture has been conditioned to eat a high fat, high sugar, high sodium diet. We forget that the purpose of eating is to fuel our bodies. And now we are faced with a society filled with obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

Fresh, raw leafy greens are some of the world's most concentrated nutritional powerhouses, loaded with minerals and enzymes, vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants. By drinking your greens you are giving your body more nutrition than most people will eat in an entire day!

Now even though greens are so good for you - very few people eat nearly enough of them - or if they are big on eating salads, they're certainly not able to chew their greens for hours on end to take advantage of releasing all the nutrition inside. This is the beauty of following the raw green smoothie diet.

By using a high speed blender to blend your greens into a green drink you are not only releasing all the nutrients from the cells of the plants, you are also making it more usable for your body.

Raw Food Smoothie

It is so simple to improve your health, without having to make drastic changes to your diet and lifestyle, or purchasing packaged up 'diet' foods. By just simply adding a super healthy smoothie a day you will find you start craving more raw living foods. The more raw, living foods you consume, the healthier you will become and the more your body will crave them.
