 A Green Smoothie Recipe Is Deliciously Wholesome

Where do I start, I mean these green smoothie recipes for detoxing are just so good on every level from a perspective of natural weight loss where you still get your daily hit of healthy nutrition with antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, fiber, carbohydrates and low fat whole foods fresh and intact. The American Cancer Society recommends that we eat 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day to prevent cancer and other diseases. Each green smoothie recipe has been carefully chosen to include a variety of ingredents.


Because I am regularly eating natural, whole foods and regularly including a green smoothie recipe for my digestion and nutrient absorption, I noticed I have more energy to get things done. And a big plus is my greater mental clarity and focus. I could just about become a vegan. In case you aren’t sure what being a vegan is, you’ll find all your answers at Vegan A Go Go.  When I was eating less healthy breakfasts, I noticed I would feel so tired afterwards, as if my whole system had taken a whack and often I felt like going to sleep, crazy I know. It was awful!

My skin has benefited as my body has eliminated toxins, looking clearer and brighter with better color. When I compare old photos I can see a difference. Back then my skin had a unhealthy pale look to it. And its nice to get a compliment of “Oh, I thought you were early 30’s” instead of 45 Clearly green smoothies are working for me.

Anyway, here are my 10 Green Smoothie Recipes. I hope you enjoy them and share them with your family and friends.
