The Best Of A Green Smoothie.

I drink one almost every day. It's a combination of spinach, mango, kiwi fruit, banana, and pitaya (dragon fruit), along with either ginger, kale, or apple. The pitaya is sweet, so you don't need a lot of fruit. It's breakfast, so it's green. Green smoothies have about 1/3 the calories of a regular smoothie. They taste great, and make you feel healthy, and full of energy.

Here's a detailed recipe: 1 cup of spinach 1/2 cup of pineapple 1/2 cup of mango 1/2 banana 2 kiwi 1/2 cup of pitaya (dragon fruit) 1/2 cup of kale 1 tsp. of ginger 1 tsp. of apple extract 1/2 cup of coconut water 1 tsp. of agave nectar or honey 1 ice cube Put the spinach, pineapple, mango, banana, and pitaya in a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Add the kale, ginger, apple, coconut water, and agave nectar/honey. Blend again until completely smooth. Add ice and blend again until smooth.

It seems so obvious now, this green smoothie thing. You add greens and fruit, maybe some ginger and mint. Then you drink it all up, and you're healthy. Or so it seems. But back in the early nineties, when I first heard about green smoothies, it sounded crazy. Why would anyone put sugar into a drink that was just vegetables? And why would anyone drink anything that looks like spinach mixed with milk?

But at the time, many of the things we thought we knew about nutrition were wrong. The conventional wisdom was: Eat lots of fat. Eat lots of protein. Eat lots of carbs. Eat lots of cholesterol. Eat lots of salt. Eat lots of sugar. Eat lots of whatever. Eat lots of fruit, but eat less vegetables. Eat lots of vegetables, but eat less fruit.

Fast forward to Today and its the green smoothie that boost your health and immune system. Green smoothies are made with organic fruits and vegetables. The fruits used in making it are rich in water and loaded with vital nutrients especially vitamin C that is main natural source to detoxification.

In addition to this, the organic vegetables are rich in chlorophyll that is believed to purify blood and cleanse down entire body. Moreover, the green smoothies hold excellent fiber content and antioxidants that are again greatly helpful in detoxification. So, when the purifying power of fruits is combined with cleansing aid of green leafy vegetables then this results in making a rich smoothie that is perfect for detoxification.
