3 Healthy Green Smoothies For Rapid Weight Loss

3 Healthy Green Smoothies For Rapid Weight Loss

How To Make A Green Smoothie Healthy

If you want your smoothie to be healthy and nutritious, keep the alkalizing greens dominant(60-80%). Realize that these greens shouldn't ever trade off the taste. Get them in, cover them up a little with some low to medium GI leafy foods and a few tasty supplements, and both your stomach and your palette will be pleased. 

Simple, neutral tasting greens like romaine and spinach. Begin with these and you will probably love them and use them constantly! Other fun greens to play with include kale, collard greens (stems uprooted), better/red/green lettuce, fennel, celery, cucumber and herbs (cilantro, mint and parsley — in smaller amounts). If you find a certain green to be overpowering in your smoothie then substitute with something like romaine or spinach. Drink smoothies daily with your other meals being healthy and you would be surprised how fast you can shed unwanted weight!
