Green Smoothies for Health and Vitality

Green smoothies are a way of making the consumption of healthy raw green leafy vegetables acceptable. It's a matter of trial and error to see what suits you best. 

Eating raw leafy greens on their own is quite unpalatable to you if you're used to cooked veggies. But, by combining them with a sweet fruit, it becomes much tastier.

Using the softer green leafy vegetables is also an advantage, as eating the coarser leaves raw is not a wildly pleasant experience...

So choose veggies such as silver beet and spinach rather than curly kale or cabbage. And start with just one leaf of silver beet, or equivalent, to get used to it. Then build up as your taste changes.

I tried silver beet with bananas, but really didn't like it. Neither did I like it with berries. Now that pears are on the market, I have found one leaf of silver beet, plus some of the stem, mixed up in a processor with a whole pear makes a delicious and nutritious breakfast.

Experimenting is the only way to find what suits you.
