Its the Perfect Time for Green Smoothies


Summertime is the perfect time for blending up delicious green smoothies. You can do a search for “green smoothies” and you’ll find lots of recipes. Personally, I just use what I have. Usually my drink consists of something like lettuce, spinach, parsley, cilantro, apple, and one or two types of berries and sometimes a banana. I add enough water to blend everything and a little liquid stevia (my favorite is Kal brand - no aftertaste). This drink can last 2 full days so sometimes I make extra.

What’s to love about this - blended foods are quick and easy to digest making the nutrition more bio-available, tons of nutrition and few calories.
