It's that time of year again when we are all thinking soon I want to be beach body ready and it's time to start cleaning up my diet! The trick to staying lean and healthy is about finding ways to have complete meals that are high in volume, nutrients and low in calories. It's not really about a diet "fad" or "trend" that will keep you lean and healthy! This is why I have become a HUGE fan of homemade Green Smoothies. Green Smoothies are an excellent choice for breakfast or a small meal during the day. They are packed with vitamins, health carbohydrates and fiber! Just what your body needs to stay healthy and feel satisfied. Drinking a green smoothie a day is one of the best healthy food habits you can create for yourself. Not to mention inexpensive, quick & easy to make, and something you can even have on the go! My husband introduced the Green Smoothie to me a few weeks ago and like you, looking at the photo and hearing the word "Green" I was skeptical. I am so glad I set aside my hesitation and gave this drink a try! Now I want one everyday. Don't let the word "Green" or the color scare you from trying something that is so good for you and will get your body ready for swimsuit season!
Our favourite greens to use in green smoothies are spinach, but you can also use romaine lettuce, kale, and Swiss chard.
Our favourite fruits to use in green smoothies are bananas, oranges, strawberries, mango's, but you can also try pears, apples, blueberries, papayas, and pineapples.
What's so great about Green Smoothies is you can mix and match any combination of the vegetables and fruits for a constant variety. Many of us struggle with eating the same foods daily, but with the Green Smoothies there is so much variety in taste and Constancy that it never seems to get boring. Just be mindful not to get too carried away with adding lots of "extras" into your smoothies. The goal is to keep them low in calories and high in nutrition content. By adding in "extras" you can quickly turn this healthy recipe into a diet buster.
Not only are green smoothies really good for your health, they are extremely simple to make. Trust me on this and I promise you will not taste one thing green in this smoothie. If your looking for ways to trim down that waistline, dress size, and for better health benefits this is something worth incorporating into your daily clean eating plan.
Put green vegetables and fruits into a good blender, juicer or smoothie maker and add just enough water approx. 1/4-1/2 cup with 3 ice cubes to allow the blender to bring vegetables and fruits together into a smoothie-like consistency.
So here's what was in my Green Smoothie! Approx. 250 calories
3 cups spinach
1 orange
1 banana
3 strawberries
1/4 mango
