Hello, Smoothies
When making green smoothies, keep in mind that it’s easier to get a range of benefits if you vary your produce. Try choosing a few of the following fruits and veggies for each drink: spinach, kale, chard, baby greens, collard greens, arugula, kiwi, cucumber, lime, apples, celery, cilantro, avocado, green mango, purslane, or parsley.
Be sure before you blend up your next batch of greenie goodness, however, that you remove the ribs of large leafy vegetables such as kale or Swiss chard. These will make your drinks too pulpy. No one wants that.
Obviously, you can add other ingredients to spice things up as well. Common choices include yogurt which is rich in probiotics and is good for digestion, berries, nut butter, milk or alternative milk, coconut water, bananas, or anything else you desire.
So what do you think? Are you inspired to jump on the green juice craze today?
