What a learning adventure I’ve been on these last few days. The green smoothies are so much fun to make and really taste amazing! But the real reason is truly to get more vitamins and minerals packed into a glass that most of us wouldn’t have eaten in a whole day!  Green plants have life energy that our bodies need to live.  These green wonders are packed with vitamins and minerals that help to alkalize and start to heal the damage that we are bombarded with daily from our modern diets, stresses, the air we breathe and water we drink, which have a huge impact on our body.

So you say, “I try to eat a salad daily and a have a vegetable with a meal, what more do I need? ” Truly, this is nowhere near enough, and eating so many greens requires a lot of chewing!  Do you have time for this?  I know I don’t and that is why you can get handfuls of greens, all kinds like spinach, kale, parsley, lettuces, watercress, collards,  and more plus some powerful antioxidant fruits like blueberries (see a previous post), blackberries, cherries, red grapes, blackberries, kiwi and others to make it taste sweeter.  Oh, did I mention that these help prevent free radicals from damaging your body and therefore making your immune system stronger and helps slow down the aging process?  Whew, the list goes on and on as to the benefits.  

Many of our favorite fruits are frozen if they aren’t in season. Buying seasonal items is more cost friendly to our wallet but can you really put a price tag on your health?  What you do right now, no matter what state of health you are in, will determine your longevity.  So take a small step in the right direction….but have fun too.  Food can be so pleasing and the greener, the better!  Enjoy and share your footprint with me!
