Healthy and quick boost of nutrition to a great start to the day or a snack!
Healthy, quick, and nutritious GREEN drink 😜 . If you are looking for a great way to incorporate leafy greens into your diet this delicious and nutritious simple green smoothie recipe is your friend! If I have plenty of those leafy green veggies in my garden at the moment! 🥬 There are only some many times in a day I can eat a green salad 😉
reasons to include those green leafy veg in your diet:
- Your leafy greens and raw veggies are a superb source of natural fiber (1).
- Leafy greens contain vitamin K, Magnesium, B vitamins, Calcium, and are rich in folic acid, potassium, magnesium, vitamin C, and phytochemicals (2).
- The high levels of vitamin K, Magnesium, and calcium in leafy greens produce osteocalcin, the bone builders.
Greens are a rich source of vitamins and minerals and are most nutritious when consumed raw. When you start your day with a simple green smoothie, you are already consuming a lot of fruits and vegetables. There are loads of speculations this day about what we should or shouldn’t be eating, but one thing all diets can agree on is that dark, leafy green vegetables are a must in your diet! Doing that is upping your daily intake of these essential food types 👍. Beautiful smoothies with nutrient-rich vegetables and unlike juices, retain the beneficial fiber content from whole foods. Smoothies are also an easy way to take in those supplements like protein powder, spirulina, or other powdered supplements just by adding a serving into the blender and you are good to go.
I am generally not a big fan of protein powders as I simply can’t find a plant-based protein that tastes someway palatable. Plus I don’t drink many smoothies and the reason being I simply like to chew my food! This green smoothie is by far my favorite go-to recipe. I use it on the mornings when I simply don’t want to be making anything fancy or when I need to catch up on the blog posts😜😂 In conclusion I hope you give it a go and enjoy it as much as I do 😊
