Blendtec Total Green Smoothies
Green Smoothies are blended drinks made with fresh leafy greens in them. Simple as that. Quite often the greens are blended with fruits giving you a delicious meal bursting with nutrition! Great for anyone and Kids love them!
Everyone has heard "greens are good for you" or "eat your greens" but few people realize the extent to which it is true.
Greens are one of the most nutritious whole foods we can eat but we rarely eat enough of them. Green smoothies provide us with the nutrition our bodies need and can use; they are loaded with anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, live enzymes, phytonutrients and amino acids (protein). The truth is, you can get more nutrition in a pint of green smoothie than most people get in a full day of "normal" eating!
Green Smoothies Taste Great
Contrary to what people think before trying a green smoothie, they taste great! And children love them. As you become accustomed to drinking them, your body will want more and you will crave more.
It is hard to change and transition away from dietary programming and habits that are not good for us. By adding green smoothies to your current diet, you will get more nutrition then you have before and making positive changes to your diet, spirit, and life will become easier. An amazing transformation can happen when you do nothing but add daily green smoothies to your life. As your body relishes in the abundant nutrition you feed it, it will ask for more and will not cry out for the junk as much.
Health Benefits
Drink Your Greens?
As fantastic as raw greens are, we would have to chew them for a long long time with each bite to get them to the creamy consistency necessary to take full advantage of all the nutrition they hold. That's because nutrition lies within the plant's cell walls and plant cell walls are one of the strongest things in nature.
That’s where the green smoothie comes in...
You won't, or can't, take the time to chew those green enough and it's hard to eat a bunch of kale for a meal. Making green smoothies enables you to consume more greens and allows your body to use the nutrients within them. High speed blenders, such as a Blendtec Total blender or Vitamix 5200, are great green smoothie blenders as they break down while foods to the cellular level and beyond, making the bounty of nutrients readily available for your body.

The green smoothies you make are never pasteurized!

If you stick with it and change nothing but add green smoothies to your daily routine you will experience a positive change in your your body and mind.
