Every time I see fruits and vegetables in the market... I feel very HAPPY and HUNGRY.
The reason is that I want to be more healthy and I like the feeling of CLEAN BODY... free from junk foods and preservatives.
I don't want to go back to that life again; junk foods, high calorie and cholesterol foods, instant foods etc... well, it's not so bad to eat them once in a while... but ONCE IN A WHILE ONLY.
Before, I eat a lot of meat and junk foods and after that... I always feel like a CRAP. I always find myself so stress in flushing them out.
I did a lot of health article reading for the past few days and I stumbled upon "Healthy Smoothies".
Green Smoothies are said to be very healthy since they are:
Loaded with anti-oxidant which flushes out the toxins in our body
Anti-inflammatory
Anti-cancer
Reduces the possibility of heart diseases
Cleanses our intestines
Aids constipation
Helps to give glow to our skin... etc.
There are a lot of BENEFITS... I think they are uncountable.
Since I like SPINACH, I decided to try the "Green Smoothie".
GREEN SMOOTHIE DETOX
Servings: 2
Calories: 74 (Approximately)
INGREDIENTS:
1 Cup Spinach
2 Mango cheeks
1 Cup Pineapple (diced; not canned)
1 1/2 Cup Water
1 Tbsp. Honey (Optional)
PROCEDURE:
- Cut the spinach into tiny pieces. Diced the mango and pineapple. Segregate each ingredient.
- Pour 1 1/2 cups of water, together with 1 cup spinach into the blender. Puree until the spinach became very smooth.
- Pour the remaining ingredients and honey (if you like). Puree until everything became very smooth.
- Serve.
Done!
Your Green Smoothie Detox Drink is ready to serve. If you want your drink to be more concentrated, just use 1 cup of water... you will have a 1.5 glass of Green Smoothie. I usually use cold water for this... no ice for me. I drink this after I exercise or at lunch.
The taste? Very great. My mother told me so. <3
Have fun and stay healthy!
