S Is For Smoothie

My close friends know:  I am a big smoothie fan. Here’s why.

1.You can put in it fruit and/or vegetables, which counts as a big part of your necessary 6 serving daily intake.
2.You can add vitamins and fiberto make it even healthier. That is. if your doctor allows it and it doesn't interfere with other medication you're taking.
3.It’s texture suggests that if you are not a great chewer (like me), it absorbs well in your body.
4.It takes 4 minutes to make, including the clean up.

In no way am I saying that a smoothie will fill you for the whole day.  It will probably  make you feel good for about 2-3 hours in the beginning. But if you will drink the potion every day, you will feel gradually, after about 3 weeks or so. then it can replace breakfast. Or  not. In any case, you did your body a huge favor.

So smoothie it is.  For the next 3 weeks, as I wake up and try to figure out who’s who and what's what, I shall put the blender to work.

There are a few smoothie recipes that I like; each one is for a different reason. Some of them are my

recipes and some are not. Here are two.

Green smoothie: Considered to be very healthy, and is surprisingly tasty.  Scientists claim that we are missing on the amount of greens that we are consuming daily. Also, even if we’re eating a nice salad, we are not chewing it well enough into the paste- like texture, needed for a good absorption. Did I mention that chimpanzees, our genetically (almost) close relatives never have cancer? Or that Greeks, who include mustard greens in their daily diet, live until they’re 100 years old???

Your daily fruit and veggies.

 Anti oxidant your body with this berry- licious smoothie: This smoothie has Ester-C, which isVitamin C in a way that protects your stomach, and Psylium Husks- fiber addition. It comes with Berries, especially Blueberries which are great anti oxidant agents. are rich in fiber and vitamin c and have tons of manganese which converts protein and carbs into energy.

1 cup strawberries

Although I love smoothies because of their fiber, don't forget also to juice juice juice whenever you can. You consume that way much more vegetables than you would anyother way, plus it's so tasty!
