Today was the day of the green smoothie! Greens have more nutrient goodness than any other food group on the planet! Greens even have high-quality, easily-assimilated amino acids – enough to build up the protein that supports the muscle mass of the giant, greens-eating gorilla, which is known to be one of the strongest animals in the world! As well as this, it has been proven that drinking green smoothies rather than munching on the raw veg is better for you, here's why!
The blending actually breaks down the cellular walls of the leaves, leaving you with the finest particles of nutrients which are delivered straight to your cells.
So what are the benefits of this hulk juice?
E N E R G Y!
If you think that green smoothies cannot give you energy for that workout, think again! Or better still, try it before you judge it.
It is true that due to the low caloric levels of greens, they cannot fill us for long. But the trick here is to combine it with sweet fruits – which supplies us with simple sugars.
This is one of the best pre-workout food which supplies us simple sugars to burn immediately as fuel.

For those who have reached a plateau in releasing weight, this is something to be tried :)
When your cells are nourished, cravings for unhealthy food become lesser or non-existent. Proper nourishment of the cells is vital to maintaining a healthy weight.

Smooth, blemish-free skin can be yours within weeks of constant drinking blended greens, countless subjects reported lightening of spots, smoother skin and radiant complexion.
So here's my version which can make 1 pint glass or two small glasses worth;
- 2 large handfuls of spinach
- Two handfuls of chopped brocolli
- 1 large carrot (chopped)
- 5 stems of green beans
- 1 large banana
- 1 large scoop of fat free plain yoghurt
- 1 tbsp of honey
- sprinkle of cinnamon
**add water to liquidize if too thick**
Review;
Personally I was dreading the taste and only doing it for the sheer goodness of the ingredients! But sure enough the banana really over powered the greens in taste and made it bearable! The texture was funny but it is a game of trial and error and ill be sure to try out different fruits next time for sweetness.
Hope you enjoy!
