I love the green smoothie concept; you can pack in 7+ servings of fruits and vegetables before 10 am by swapping your normal breakfast for a green smoothie; by doing so, you'll get 700 percent more plants into your diet than the average American. There is a strong, studied correlation between plant foods consumed, and your risk for heart disease and cancer - the more plants you eat daily, the lower your risk! This is one simple change everyone can easily make. Green smoothies take very little time to prepare, and it's no trouble to clean-up a blender (unlike juicers which generally have a lot of parts). Cheers to your green smoothie health!
In the following order, add to the blender:
1 cup room temperature water.
4-5 cups of fresh superfood greens (my favorite is Kale; be sure to remove the woody part of the stem and tear up slightly if using whole leaves).
Blend until greens are drinkable, then add:
1 scoop powdered superfood greens; I like doTERRA TerraGreens (be cautious about the brands of supplements/superfood greens you choose to buy; many of them aren't organic and actually contain harmful contaminants).
1 scoop powdered superfood greens; I like doTERRA TerraGreens (be cautious about the brands of supplements/superfood greens you choose to buy; many of them aren't organic and actually contain harmful contaminants).
1 scoop unflavored protein shake; I like doTERRA's V Shake (which is vegan); this is completely optional - your smoothie will be great without the scoop of protein shake.
Blend until incorporated; finally add.
2 cups of frozen organic fruit (my favorites are blueberry, mango, and strawberry).
Blend thoroughly until smoothie consistency.
Drink immediately!
