Secret # 36: Green Smoothies

Do you eat leafy greens daily? If you are like most Americans, you
probably don’t get nearly the amount of vegetables, especially leafy
greens, that your body craves. Sometimes it is a matter of time,

sometimes a matter of taste. To better your health, try to drink one
green smoothie per day.

Green smoothies can be made of any number of ingredients,
but always include a leafy green veggie such as kale or spinach.

People who enjoy one or two healthy green smoothies daily report
some remarkable health benefits. Just be sure that your smoothie
is made from whole, organic ingredients.

Making a basic green smoothie

Green smoothies are quick and easy to make. The first thing to do
is decide what you would like to use for your base. Three popular
options include green tea, coconut water, and purified water.

Add two cups of your favorite green food such as kale, spinach, or
spirulina.

Healthy fats, fiber, and fruits, are the next ingredients. Good options
include one tablespoon of coconut oil, one tablespoon of chia
seeds, and one cup of berries.
