I love green smoothies, and in my quest to make them better, tastier and healthier, I have discovered some interesting things that I hope you’ll be able to use to make yours just as good.
These are the four most important tips you can get for making your green smoothies the best they can be.
I can’t stress this enough. Fiber in moderation, is good for you. As are most things in moderation. However, there is the misconception that you want to have as much fiber as possible.
Fiber firms up your stool, too firm and it becomes like a stone, one that becomes painful to pass and can cause serious harm to your intestines.
Balance fiber intake in your smoothies by adding either turmeric, ginger or lemon to aid in digestion as the acidity helps break things down.
It’s true that kale, spinach, matcha, spirulina and celery all have wonderful health benefits. But you’re actually better off using a concentration of a few ingredients than trying to stuff them all into one shake.
If you want the benefits of multiple leafy greens, alternate smoothies on a schedule to get all the nutrients you desire.
Green smoothies are difficult for the body to process, and while they do wonders, more doesn’t necessarily equal better or more effective.
Instead use the key ingredient in other non-green smoothies on the other days, you’ll get a more diverse set of nutrients while still getting the primary benefit you want.
Our body needs help in digesting greens. This is true for both salads and smoothies. A little bit of coconut oil can offset this and aids in digestion, which results in a better absorption of the nutrients and antioxidants that you’re trying to get from your greens.
