Here are a whole bunch of green smoothie recipes from Boutenko. Green For Life is her book. www.organicgardencafe.com sells the book, etc. and also has great newsletter they send out where these receipes came from. Also has a newsletter tghat is great to get also. I'm going to challenge myself daily to start making these drinks. Here goes article and lots of recipes at end: Ode to Green Smoothie by Boutenko www.rawfamily.com What do I mean by green smoothie? Here is one of my favorite recipes: 4 ripe pears, 1 bunch of parsley and 2 cups of water. Blended well. This smoothie looks very green, but it tastes like fruit. I like green smoothies so much that I bought an extra blender and placed it in my office, so that I could make green smoothies throughout the day. More than half of all the food I’ve had

in last several months have been green smoothies. I have so much more energy and clarity that I have removed green juices from my diet. (Juicing has been something that I’ve been doing regularly for years.) Green smoothies have numerous benefits for human health. Green smoothies are very nutritious. I believe that the ratio in them is optimal for human consumption: about 60% - ripe organic fruit mixed with about 40% - organic green vegetables. Green smoothies are easy to digest. When blended well, all the valuable nutrients in these fruits and veggies become homogenized, or divided into such small particles that it becomes easy for the body to assimilate these nutrients, the green smoothies literally start to get absorbed in your mouth. Green smoothies, as opposed to juices, are a complete food because they still have fiber. Consuming fiber is important for our elimination system. Green smoothies belong to the most palatable dishes for all humans of all ages. With a ratio of fruits to veggies as 60:40 the fruit taste dominates the flavor, yet at the same time the green vegetables balance out the sweetness of the

fruit, adding nice zest to it. Green smoothies are simply the best tasting dishes for the majority of adults and children. I always make extra smoothie and offer it to my friends and customers. Some of them eat a standard American diet. They all finished their big cup of green smoothies with complements. They were quite surprised that something so green could taste so nice and sweet. By consuming two or three cups of green smoothies daily you will consume enough of greens for the day to nourish your

body, and they will be well assimilated. Many people do not consume enough of greens, even those who stay on a raw food diet. The molecule of chlorophyll has only one atom that makes it different from a molecule of human blood. According to teachings of Dr. Ann Wigmore, to consume chlorophyll is like receiving a healthy blood transfusion. Green smoothies are easy to make, and quick to clean up after. Many people told me that they do not drink green juices on a regular basis because it is time consuming to prepare green juices and clean the

equipment after juicing, or to drive to the juice bar. Green smoothies are perfect food for children of all ages, including babies of six or more months old when introducing new food to them after mother’s milk. Of course you have to be careful and slowly increase the amount of smoothies to avoid food allergies. When you consume your greens in the form of green smoothies, you can greatly reduce the consumption of oils and salt in your diet. Regular consumption of Green smoothies forms a good habit of eating greens. Several people told me that after a couple of weeks of drinking green smoothies, they

started to crave and enjoy eating more greens. Eating enough of green vegetable is often a problem with many people, especially in children. Green smoothies can easily be freshly made at any juice bar, restaurant or health food store for the great convenience of health-oriented customers. I encourage the readers of this article to start playing with green smoothies, and to discover the many joys and benefits of this wonderful delicious and nutritious addition to the menu. Here are more ideas for your green creations. Some of my favorite greens to add to green smoothies: parsley, spinach, celery, kale and romaine.

I did the study in 's new book in regards to Hydrocholric acid and the powerful affect the green smoothies had in restoring this needed acid. I have had a green smoothie everyday since last April when we did the study. They are incredible for our health and remarkably good. Anyone who is looking to improve their health needs to go no further than the green smoothies.
