Give yourself a week. Yes, only seven days. Treat yourself to a green smoothie at least once each day for seven days. Change up the ingredients to keep it interesting and really tune in to how you feel after you finish your smoothie each day and at the end of the week. Think about what the color green represents in nature. It represents vitality, life, growth and energy. All of the amazing properties of our green gifts from the earth can be ours too. We just have to take them in, and the fastest way to feel their energy is break down their structure into the smallest possible matter. My favorite way to do this is with a blender. The more your blender does, the less your digestive system has to do. So, all of the amazing benefits of dark leafy greens are immediately available to your body to benefit from. You will feel the difference so quickly it will astound you! Here’s why-there is so much fiber, which will help rid your body of toxins and keep you from feeling hungry. There is liquid from the water, the fruit and veggies-many of us are dehydrated so just getting hydrated is huge. Also, the enzymes and many, many nutrients are so incredibly beneficial to your body, besides feeling great you will look great too. Give it time and stay committed to this little practice at least once a day for a week or longer! Besides being nutrient-starved, many of us are starved in self-care too. This green smoothie practice helps you score points in both of those areas of your life! xxo!
