Firstly, let us tell you why we love green smoothies:
They are a great way to naturally boost your energy making them perfect in the morning or at that 3pm slump
Packed with disease-fighting nutrients
A fast and easy way to give your body what it needs when you’re in a rush
Packed with phytonutrients from the greens, your immune system will get a nice boost to help it function optimally
Unlike juices, smoothies consist of the entire fruit or vegetable, skin and all, and contain all of the fibre from the fruits and vegetables. However, the blending process breaks the fibre apart (which makes the fruit and vegetables easier to digest) but also helps create a slow, even release of nutrients into the blood stream and avoids blood sugar spikes.
Smoothies tend to be more filling, because of the fibre and generally, faster to make than juice, so they can be great to drink first thing in the morning as your breakfast or for snacks throughout the day.
Try adding in a green smoothie every day for a week and feel your life explode! They don’t have to be complicated either, follow this simple formula, open your mind and soon you will be a green smoothie junkie too.
