I’ve been drinking Green Smoothies for almost 3 years now and I’d never want to miss it again. After a short period of adjustment, you will feel all the positive effects that I have also experienced and experience again and again best green drink.
What are the benefits of green smoothies? Why daily 1 Green Smoothie?
Green smoothies are very valuable lifeblood. I usually drink them in the morning for breakfast or even as a “breakfast substitute”. They contain many different, vital nutrients (vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, trace elements etc.) as well as the whole plant fibers (dietary fiber) due to the mixed fruits, vegetables and lettuce. That’s why they are especially satisfying. As a breakfast substitute, I drink or spoon about 0.5 liters of green smoothie, often garnished with chia seeds, flax seeds or chopped walnuts. If you bring green smoothies into your daily life, then you will quickly notice some positive effects:
- You have more energy for the day with Green Smoothies.
- The regular enjoyment of the Green Smoothies makes you feel more alert.
- You do not get so fast food cravings with Green Smoothies.
- The morning Green Smoothie is filling for a long time.
- You quickly get used to the freshness and want more of it (instead of sweets).
- Maybe that alone improves your skin, your digestion, possible allergies, etc. – it all depends on your body and condition.
How do I prepare green smoothies?
Green smoothies are easy to make. You do not need more than a good blender, fresh fruit, vegetables, green leafy lettuce and a bit of liquid (water). As a mixer recommendation for beginners I speak again and again for the Philips HR 2095/90 . I had the predecessor model for 2 years and he has served me well! In addition, I hear a lot of good from this WMF power mixer. He has a great value for money!
Especially for the Green Smoothie beginner, I published a Green Smoothie tutorial on my Youtube channel a few months ago . Look at this necessarily. I explain in great detail how Green Smoothies work. 🙂
You do not need any special recipes for your Green Smoothies, although you may find some delicious recommendations from my Green Smoothie eBook. What you really need are some good ingredients and a nice selection of fruits, vegetables and lettuce.
My shopping list for green smoothies:
- Lamb’s lettuce
- fresh spinach (if you get it)
- fresh kale
- Blattsalatmix (to buy in many variants)
- apples
- bananas
- pears
- pineapple
- kiwi
- Berries (also TK berries are good)
- fresh cranberries (if you get them)
- Ginger (if you like)
- avocado
- cucumber
- fresh mint
If you buy these ingredients fresh and are reasonably stocked, then you can discover the full range of Green Smoothies for you. If you do not get some ingredients, look at Lebepur. There are many smoothie ingredients in powder form to buy. Not so fresh, but 100% natural! In addition, it goes one step further, if you like. Superfoods are the keyword!
Superfoods for my green smoothies:
- Organic barley grass powder
- Chlorella powder
- Spirulina
- Powershake energy powder as a practical superfood mix
- Chia seeds for garnish
Superfoods have an unbelievable range and concentration of healthy nutrients and are part of every Green Smoothie. They are just the icing on the cake! I especially like to use the Powershake energy powder by Regenbogenkreis as a mix of different superfoods. So I do not have to buy everything individually.
