How to Prepare a Green Smoothie
The question of the hour it seems. This is an excerpt of the fantastic ebook, The Complete Guide To Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Green Smoothies, published by the Green Smoothie Queen.
1. Start with a good blender and pour in a cup (or more) of water.
2. Then put the greens in the blender until the blender is full, and pulverize!
3. Add more greens directly to your blended greens and pulverize again.
4. Finally, add your cut up fruits in the combinations that you think you will enjoy (suggested combos to start with are: apple, banana, mango,
or pineapple and mango) and pulverize again.
Voila! You now have a basic green smoothie.
All you really need is a little courage, a little imagination, and some fresh in season fruits and vegetables!
*Hint: if you are trying to serve green smoothies to family members or children for the first time, use very little greens to start out with and lots of fruit. If you have a greenaphobe in your midst, it is generally best to use a combination of berries for a nice un-green color!
In a one quart serving, you get several serving of fruits and vegetables, not to mention all the calcium, protein, vitamins, and minerals you can imagine!
Green love,
