I am several weeks into blending fruits and vegetables. I have settled on 2-3 fruits and 4-5 vegetables per smoothie. This ratio will give the smoothie enough natural sugars to make it very tasty and satisfying. Make sure at least 2 or 3 of the vegetables are leafy greens - this is a food category that is missing in most of our diets but is greatly needed. So far I have seen improvement in my:
- digestion
- acid reflux
- insomnia
- frequency of urination at night
- Condition of my hair
I have noticed that my appetite is better and my sugar cravings have decreased. I have not written down any of my favorite drinks - I suppose I should. I do include 1 banana, and either blue berries or huckleberries in each drink. I also like celery in each drink. Here is an example of a typical drink:
- 2 cups of purified water
- 1 stalk of celery
- 1 banana
- Quarter cup of huckleberries
- 3 Radishes
- 3 leaves of Red Leaf Lettuce
- 3 leaves of Kale
Blend until smooth and enjoy!
