If you’re a smoothie fan, The New Green Smoothie Diet: Going Green Never Tasted So Good is just the book for you.
Hilary Greenleaf uses green smoothies as an alternative to eating vegetables to help you accomplish the following health goals:
* Weight loss by drinking tasty smoothies
* Achieve instant energy without consuming sugar or energy drinks
* Detox your body without dangerous chemicals
Not only that, green smoothies are:

* Low in calories but high in nutrients
* Helpful for a smoother digestive system

Love Green Smoothies! In my oppinion there is no better way to get your vegis in!
My go to green smoothie is as follows- almond milk, flax seeds (or chia depending on my mood), maca powder, chocolate wheatgrass powder mix, raw cacao, vanilla stevia, canned pumpkin and spinach. Sometimes I add peppermint extract for a refreshing twist.
I love frozen peaches in my smoothies!!
Almond milk for sure with blueberries and spinich and scoop of protein!

Almond milk and kale are my must haves!
These days, my smoothie “must haves” are a frozen bananas, spinach, and raw cocoa.

I don’t have any must-have ingredients, just whatever is available. My favorite though are blueberries and kale, delicious combination and packed with nutrients!
My current fave is what I call the Sweet & Savory Green: chia seeds, romaine, celery, cuke, ginger, 1/2 frozen banana, frozen peas, and almond milk + water as necessary.
