Chlorophyll Smoothie


My Mum and I have been drinking our daily (sometimes twice-daily) green smoothies now for
about 2 weeks and have truly felt the benefits! I have yet to break out in an awful spot since my first sip and we have experienced boundless energy.
The main ingredients for a green smoothie are completely up to you. Usually a green smoothie has about 60% veg 40% fruit.
this chlorophyll smoothie contained:
1 handful parsley
1 head romaine lettuce
4 handfuls spinach
2 stoned,chopped dates
1 small gala apple
1 bunch mint
this one didn't have very much fruit in it at all because the dates more than make up for it with their sweetness.
apples and bananas are always great fruits to tone down the "green smell" and usually 1 banana and 1 small apple will do perfectly.
make sure you vary the greens you eat everyday to get all the different nutrients each one offers.
