Drinking green slime? Really? Hell yes, I love both a Green Juice and a Green Smoothie and I’d love you to give it a try to. Follow these links for a Glorious Green Juice or the Green Goddess Smoothie. Drinking Green is a magical elixir of youth, radiance, energy and vitality and believe or not they taste really nice!

So what is the big deal? Drinking a Green Juice or Green Smoothie as part of a balanced diet is an amazing way to really amp up your nutrient intake and the high levels of nutrients (especially from a juice) are instantly absorbed into your system giving you an amazing boost of energy. Green juices and smoothies balance blood sugars, supply plant protein, and purge toxins from the body.

There is often a debate about which is better Green Juice or Green Smoothies. I do both but I juice a lot more than I blend. When you use a juicer, all the fibre is removed through the process of squeezing the pulp. Now don’t get me wrong, fibre is great but especially during a cleanse we want to lighten the workload for the digestive system so it can focus on detoxing and healing. When you remove the fibre the nutrients pass directly into the bloodstream, and within minutes the body receives optimum fuel to feed the cells and help restore the immune systems.

However, a smoothie will fill you up and keep you fuller for longer than a juice because it keeps the fibre and you can add proteins and fats such as almond butter. You can add way more ingredients and pack a punch with the addition of superfood powders such as Spirulina.
