The Power of Green Smoothies




What is so special about green smoothies? Greens are a great source of protein because greens provide protein in the form of individual amino acids. These amino acids are easier for the body to use than complex proteins found in meat. Greens are also good for the endocrine system in our bodies. They provide all the nutrients, vitamins, amino acids, carbohydrates and essential fatty acids that we need. When greens are blended you can absorb them better and get more nutrients than you would from eating other foods or salad.
   A great way to start your day is to have A green smoothie. It is recommended to have at least 2 quarts, half for breakfast and the rest in the afternoon. This helps increase your energy level throughout the day, improves digestion, takes away bloating, helps with weight loss, mood stability, stronger nails, brighter eyes, motivation and concentration.
