GREEN SMOOTHIE FORMULA by Zuzia
I discovered something that quickly changed my live- GREEN
SMOOTHIES. This blended drink of fresh fruits and leafy greens gives you
energy, a fast healthy meal that transforms our bodies from the inside out. Green
smoothies are detoxifying, alkalizing, and will encourage your body to burn off
fat.
The most important tip is: this simply formula is 60% fruits
to 40% leafy greens. Green smoothies are a pretty simply combo: leafy
greens+fruits+liquid base+some extras like superfoods.
To get a
really 'smooth' cocktail, blend up your leafy greens with liquid base first,
then add fruits and blend again. If you want a chilly smoothie freeze
your favourite fruits like banana/pineapple/berries or grapes. This way you
will never waste ripe fruits. That’s
really great!
Use raw natural sweeteners like sweet fruits (dates/mango/pineapple) or raw agave syrup/pure stevia/honey (you can buy some fresh stevia in gardener store). It's important to add some healthy fats like coconut oil to your smoothie, because vitamins from plants get absorbed only with fats. You can also add some nuts like almonds or cashews.

What means
'superfoods'? Superfoods are 'extras' to your smoothie like: hemp seeds/hemp
protein powder/flax seeds/chia seeds/spirulina/maca/ açai powder/goji
berries/bee pollen/raw cacao.
