CHAPTER 1: WHAT ARE GREEN SMOOTHIES?
Have you been feeling sluggish, depressed, anxious, irritable, fatigued, or just generally not healthy? If so, then you might want to closely examine your diet, as it's more than likely the culprit behind feeling unwell. Even when we're overworked and stressed out to the max, we should still have the energy to deal with it. Not getting the proper nutrition in your diet is one of the leading causes of the aforementioned health ailments experienced my most people in the world today. When it comes to eating healthy, smoothies can really add a massive amount of otherwise lacking nutrition to your overall daily diet, especially green smoothies. For those of you who have never had the pleasure of drinking a green smoothie, they're smoothies that contain some element of fresh leafy green vegetables in them, such as kale, spinach, romaine lettuce, mustard greens, parsley, and other delicious green vegetables and herbs. An example of a green smoothie recipe that many people drink for its nutritional benefits would be a kale spinach banana hemp milk smoothie.
Creating it is super easy, as you simply toss the aforementioned ingredients into your blender and puree them into a liquid drink. You can thicken or loosen the green smoothie by adding either more or less almond milk, orange juice, water, or whatever diluter that you decide to add. A typical green smoothie such as the one that we described above can contain as much as 600% of the daily recommended allowance of vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin A, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and many other essential vitamins and minerals. You can quite literally take your daily vitamin in the form of a morning breakfast green smoothie, and it will be absorbed by your body much more so than a daily vitamin would be. When making green smoothies, there are three important tips to consider. First, you should try to use organic locally grown produce only, as it's healthier for you.
