What is a green smoothie? It's the tastiest way ever to introduce the amounts of greens our bodies need in the most digestable way possible. Literally, the wrinkles on my face have been fading, my energy is up, my digestive tract is clear and my sweet cravings are less.
Preparation Principles: These are traditional smoothies with greens mixed in. If you hate pulp, decide that you have puckery cellulite and wrinkles more, and make these daily!
Take a large handful of any green, add a large glass of water and blend. Then add a cup or so of frozen blueberries and a banana- the older the better. I love using my frozen brown ones.
Some combos:
Spinach and blueberries (my favorite)
Spinach, strawberries and banana
Spinach, soymilk, orange juice and raspberries
Red leaf lettuce with mangoes and a splash of lemon juice
*Google "green smoothie" and you'll get dozens of recipes!
Spinach and red leaf lettuce blend instantly with almost no pulp. Kale and endive are tasty too, but have more bits. More fruit makes it more sweet, and be brave! The first time you'll be shocked by the color... and then be shocked by how your body craves color!

It's true. We feel better when we have more fruits and veggies in our diet. I blend spinach and put them in my daughters scrambled eggs. She'd never touch it otherwise, but loves her green eggs.
