How many servings of veggies do you eat per day?
For most people, the answer is “not enough.” According the USDA, the average adult should eat 3 cups of veggies every day.
The easiest way to substantially increase your fruit and vegetable intake is to drink smoothies. And we’re not talking the sugar-packed, artificial junk that’s disguised as a “smoothie” at most fast food joints.
These are real smoothies with all natural ingredients (read: fruits and vegetables). Green smoothies, in particular, are nutrition powerhouses. Green leafy vegetables are among the healthiest, most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. And when you mix them up in the right proportion with a bit of fruit, you can’t even taste them!
The following green smoothie recipes are all jam-packed with vitamins, nutrients, and fiber. Drinking at least one of these smoothies every day is a simple way to add more fruits and veggies into your diet. They can help you lose weight, look better, and most importantly, feel better. For each of these, all you need is some fresh (or frozen) fruits and veggies (preferably organic), a little water or almond milk, ice, and a blender. Here are the smoothies … enjoy!
