I have recently been researching the benefits of green smoothies and I have tried making a few. In today's world where almost all of our food is processed, it is nice to add some sort healthy snack/drink to our diet. Since making and drinking green smoothies, I have noticed some great changes to my skin and energy level. I also noticed an increase in my energy level. This is something I definitely would have as a permanent addition to my diet.
Below are some benefits of green smoothies:
- They provide a high amount of vitamins from natural sources
- They are quick and easy way to eat your veggies without realizing it
- They are delicious and you actually don't taste the greens
- They are cheaper than the store brands (if made at home). Jamba juice a'int got nothing on my home made green smoothie.
- It helps improve bowel movement and is great for the skin. Yes, this is very important!
- Easy to digest and keeps you filled therefore, it is great for people looking to lose weight
- It aids in mental clarity and focus
- Drinking green smoothies provides nutrients that provide energy naturally so you can put down that cup of coffee.
Having said all of this, why wouldn't you want to try some?
Here's a video explaining how I made my first smoothie. Enjoy!
