I started having green smoothies about a year ago and I’ve been enjoying them daily ever since. On the few occasions when I do not get to have one of these wonderful drinks, I crave them. Almost immediately after starting on green smoothies and generally upping my consumption of raw food,I felt my energy levels going up, I lost a bit of weight, I’ve been sleeping better and generally feel and look healthier.
Green smoothies are a great way to consume a great amount of greens in a quick and efficient way and get all these important nutrients in your diet. And they also taste amazing, so all good!
Green goodness
This recipe is lovely on a hot day or any day really. Go easy on the ginger as it has a very strong flavour, especially in its raw form but it makes this smoothie so refreshing that I wouldn’t omit it. It is also wonderfully good for you. It has some well known anti-inflammatory properties and might even help in reducing blood pressure.
