EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GREEN SMOOTHIES

NUTRITION

19 Feb

 

I’m about that green smoothie life. It’s funny people look at me crazy and ask the same questions when drinking green smoothies. The famous questions: “what are you drinking?”(while frowning their face lol) and “how does it taste because looks disgusting?”. My response is always the same don’t go by what it looks like because TASTE OH SO DELICIOUS AND IT’S NUTRITIOUS!! If they only knew green smoothies are the best for healthy living for many reasons such as promotes healthy eating no fad diets, fulfilling, taste good, easy to make for quick meal on the go, healthy alternative compared to fast foods, and ensures daily intake of fruits and vegetables!!

BENEFITS OF GREEN SMOOTHIES

  • Detox body
  • Sustains weight loss
  • Lose weight while eating wholesome foods
  • Boost immune system
  • Increase energy levels
  • Improve mental clarity and focus
  • Radiant skin tone and clear skin
  • Supports normal digestion
  • Promotes regularity and bowel elimination
  • Sleep better
  • Complete liquid meal
  • Stabilizes blood sugar
  • Boost metabolism
  • Decrease signs of aging
  • Aids in optimum health while eliminating some diseases

PROTEIN IS ESSENTIAL

Greens provide protein but add additional protein in your smoothies to stay fuller longer, grow, and repair muscles and tissues:

  • ADD CHIA SEEDS. Add 1 tbsp. of chia seeds daily in smoothies. Chia seeds aids in energy, strengthens the immune system, weight loss, normalizes blood sugar levels, cleanses the colon, prevents heart disease, lowers blood pressure, and more. I use spectrum essentials organic chia seeds with dietary fiber 4 g, protein 3g, and omega 3 (ALA) fatty acids.
  • ADD FLAXSEEDS. Add 2 tbsp. daily in smoothies. Flaxseeds promotes healthy hair, skin, and nails, lowers bad cholesterol, etc. I use spectrum essentials cold milled organic ground premium flaxseed has 3g dietary fiber and omega 3 (ALA) fatty acids.
  • ADD PROTEIN POWDER. Add 1 – 2 tbsp. daily in smoothies. Recommend plant based protein powder like rice, soy, or hemp. I use nutiva hemp protein has 12g fiber and 11g protein.

GREEN SMOOTHIES CHEAT SHEET

For complete meal that consist of fruits, vegetables, protein, and fat include one of each category:

Base/Liquid: Filtered or purified water, almond milk, coconut water

Greens/Vegetables: Kale, spinach, collards, arugula. Recommended vegetables per day are 3 – 5 servings.  1 serving is equivalent to 1 cup of raw leafy vegetables or 1/2 cup of cooked or raw vegetables.

Fruit: Banana, mango, berries, apple, pear, peach. Recommended fruits per day are 2 – 4 servings. 1 serving is equivalent to medium apple or orange or 1/2 cup of chopped, cooked, or canned fruit. 

Protein: Protein powder, chia seeds, flaxseeds

Healthy fats: flaxseeds, avocado, hemp seeds or oil, chia seeds, nuts, nut butters

Fun fact: Fiber is essential to healthy digestive system, regular bowel movements, reduce risk of obesity and  heart disease. Fiber foods are fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Recommended amount of fiber daily is 25g women and 30g for men.

FAVORITE SMOOTHIE RECIPES:

Enjoy my 5 favorite smoothies. Switch it up to never get bored.

  5. Apple Smoothie – 2 cups/handfuls of spinach, ½ cup of ice, 2 tbsp. flaxseed, 1 green apple, 1 banana, 1 cup of filtered or purified water

JJ SMITH 10 DAY GREEN SMOOTHIE CLEANSE

I HIGHLY recommend JJ Smith 10 day green smoothie cleanse book!!!!! I wasn’t a believer of green smoothies to lose weight and maintain weight loss until read countless reviews ALL claiming weight loss, clearer skin, and feeling ABSOLUTELY AMAZING in just 10 days!!!! My curious mind and willingness to try new things provoked me to try 10 day cleanse. It’s TRUE!!! In just 10 days felt better than I ever did in life with no junk food, no soda, no caffeine, no sugar (except from fruit), slept better, mental clarity, more energy, clearer and brighter skin, lost 8 pounds, and my taste buds changed didn’t crave sugar or unhealthy foods.

I love the book because promotes healthy eating and not starving yourself. Smoothies are great nutritional plan with 1 – 2 green smoothies per day, intake mainly of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, beans, and lean protein. When you need to detox because ate unhealthy for few weeks or longer 10 day green smoothie is the way to go to get back on track. As a bonus book includes over 100 green recipes in addition to 10 day cleanse, healthy lunch/dinner recipes, detox methods, and other helpful tips for healthier life.  Also, when you buy the book join the 10 day green smoothie cleanse Facebook group for support and encouragement because many people share their journey.

Disclaimer: Always consult your medical doctor before starting cleanse or diet especially if you have medical conditions.

Toast to the Green Smoothie life and healthy living!!

Peace, Love, & Blessings!

    You might have to try the elimination diet to see what is doing it for you (because we are all different). But I would suggest starting with chia seeds and bananas and see what happens.

Jada Pinkett Smith Worthy book tour was an enlight Jada Pinkett Smith Worthy book tour was an enlightening experience. The topic of worthy is necessary because some can relate to the journey of unlovable from others perspective but when you claim self-worth your life is forever changed. Nothing is more freeing than releasing yourself from the judgement of others. Truth be told the reasons some hate you others love you. You will always have supporters and haters. Focus on the love. When you reflect on your own flaws it’s easy to give others grace. Be true to yourself above it all. Heal on your journey and know God believes you’re worthy. Kudos to you Jada Pinkett Smith for the courage to share your truth. Your spirit is mad cool, endearing, and calming. I’m honored to share this moment with you.

I’m sitting pretty because I’m truly working i I’m sitting pretty because I’m truly working in my purpose. The purpose of sharing my truth is to:
🩷Let others know they’re not alone 
🩷Some people think it’s normal to live in constant dysfunction and drama and have no role models of peace and healthy relationships. When generational changers speak up that starts the movement to pursue peace and healthy relationships 
🩷You can have the life you want BUT nothing changes until you acknowledge your truth, speak up, cast out, and commit to doing the work 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Abundance is my mindset. I will never live in lack Abundance is my mindset. I will never live in lack. I refuse to live without the fullness of all the promises of God. My abundance attracts peace and truth. I will never lack healthy relationships. I will never lack great health. I will never lack money.

The greatest decision I made seven years ago was t The greatest decision I made seven years ago was to no longer accept unhealthy and dysfunctional relationships. No way would I let family and “friends” mistreat me, laugh at my pain, compete with me, jealous, mean, codependent, or one sided relationships especially when I love so hard, share my resources, supportive, and celebrate others. On my journey I learned how to enjoy my own company, celebrate my own accomplishments, and love myself on a deeper level. It took a long time to get here but I’m happy to align with likeminded people and super grateful for my old relationships that reflect love, fun, mutual support, and kindness. It’s only UP from here and it’s not stuck. I’m embracing and enjoying my new relationships🩷🩷

My compilation Get Up book project which I considered my giveback project led me here to receive the highest honor that one who loves community outreach can receive “The Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award” which the President Joe Biden signed. The award honors those who dedicated 4000 hours to community outreach. Special thank you to Dr. Betsy for recommending me and Dr. Paula for hosting such an stellar red carpet event. I will continue to help, serve, and giveback until God call me home sweet home!
