Drink your greens – and your reds, oranges, whites and purples – in fact all your veggies, if you can’t face eating them. And you can choose whether you go for a really, really, smooth-smoothie or a chewy, rough-chop-but-still-drinkable smoothie.
That’s what is so inviting for many people: they know they should be consuming (note I avoided saying ‘eating’ … only just, lol!) more vegetables but cannot force them down. Smoothies make it easy. Combining them with fruit makes them very palatable.
Whether your preference is for juices or smoothies you’ll find something to like in this list. Note that juices easily become smoothies by processing them in a blender instead of a juicer.
We started making smoothies with a stick blender that chopped, albeit very finely, but still left texture so I suppose technically it was not a smoothie, lol!
