How To Make A Quick Heart Healthy-Diabetic-Vegetarian-Breakfast Green Smoothie Recipes

How To Make A Quick Heart Healthy-Diabetic-Vegetarian-Breakfast Green Smoothie Recipes. Some of you might be saying, “What exactly is a green smoothie?”  It’s a fruit smoothie that includes a big serving of dark green leafy vegetable and antioxidants.

Green smoothies are an excellent breakfast choice for many, as they provide healthy carbohydrates, along with an abundance of vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and chlorophyll. Green smoothies are also an excellent source of fiber.

Just remember, that a good rule of thumb when making green smoothies…it is best to use slightly more vegetables than fruits. So, when making your green smoothies, make it 60 percent greens and 40 percent fruits.

Some favorite greens to use in green smoothies are romaine lettuce, kale, spinach, and Swiss chard…but don’t over look your favorite greens such as turnip greens, beet greens and the dark outside leaves of cabbage.

Use your favorite fruits to use in green smoothies. Some great choices are bananas, pears, apples, blueberries, mangos, papayas, apples, pineapples and my favorite summer fruit, watermelon.

If you don’t have any problems digesting fruits and vegetables, you can mix and match any combination of the vegetables and fruits listed above. If you have a sensitive digestive tract, you might want to combine only one vegetable and one fruit at a time or work your way up the ladder adding more fruits and vegetables.

Directions:

Not only are green smoothies really good for your health, they are extremely simple and easy to make.

Put green vegetables and fruits into a good blender and add just enough water to allow the blender to bring vegetables and fruits together into a thick smoothie consistency.

For extra antioxidant power, why not add a general health additive to give that extra bump to your green smoothies.

Enjoy the health benefits of green smoothies and don’t forget that Green Smoothies are also suitable for a full body cleanse.
