Here’s a super cool article and recipe for all of us who want to improve our digestion and control our weight.
Feeling you should be eating more raw foods? Then smoothies are an easy way to get started.
You’re not alone! Everywhere people are discovering the effectiveness of drinkable nutrition as the way to change the dietary habits of a lifetime and reverse the alarming growth of obesity in our society.
Many of us are incorporating smoothies into our regular meal plans as the easiest and most nutritious approach to changing our dietary habits.
Smoothies are so customizable. You can:
use what’s in season
add superfood or supplements
prepare quickly with minimal work
In our busy world today, where we need the power of fruits and vegetables more than ever, smoothies are the hot commodity.
I’ve gleaned this weight-loss smoothie recipe from an excellent article by RootAndSprouts.com. They provide a brilliant introduction to smoothies for health, and the recipe below is just one example applying the principles they outline.
Ideally our smoothies should be a balance of about 70% greens and 30% fruit, just to give you an idea of the balance we’re after.
Work your way up to this if you’re not used to eating a lot of greens, start out with about 40% greens and 60% fruit and gradually add more greens.
…
Smoothies are easy to digest as the cell walls of the fruits and vegetables have been pulverized for your sipping pleasure.
The nutrients are easily assimilated and your organs don’t have to work very hard to process food that is free from common toxins.
This not only affects your digestion but also your energy levels and keeps you full and satisfied.
Recipe: Weight-Loss Smoothie
3/4 to 1lb. assorted Greens
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 Cup mixed Berries
1 Apple
1 Tbs Coconut Oil
1 inch piece fresh Ginger
1 Tbs ground Flax seeds
Water or Tea to cover
Directions:
You may have to add the greens to your blender in smaller portions to start.
Add all ingredients to your blender and puree until smooth, add more or less water to achieve your desired thickness. For this smoothie try making green tea and letting it cool, use this to replace the water.
