Ok, let’s get real. Some Green Smoothie can taste pretty gross. I want to go over the psychology of drinking a green smoothie everyday. For me it’s a no-brainer. There are simply more pros than cons. See below.

Pros:
It is ridiculously healthy.
It helps prevent cancer from happening and even fights it!
It contains all kinds of vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals.
It is about 14 servings of vegetables!!!
It is much faster than eating a very large salad.
It cleans out my colon on its way….out.
It can increase fertility.
It can clear up your skin!
It fills your belly up for hours.

Cons:
It MAY not taste so yummy.

So there you go. It’s a sacrifice of taste for health that I make everyday. When you feel its benefits, it just doesn’t matter what it tastes like. And it’s only ONE meal out of your day. It’s like the Slim Fast diet when you replace a meal with a shake, but with WAAAY healthier ingredients!

Here are some tips to get you started:

If you read my last post you can see the evolution of my green drink consumption. It was definitely not a love affair from the beginning, but more so a relationship of necessity. It is still not delicious and at the start was just slightly better than eating a gallon-size salad for 2 hours. Growing up I NEVER ate salad or any raw vegetables unless it came smothered in dressing and came free with a meal. But then came cancer. Since my husband and I decided to forgo chemotherapy and radiation for holistic treatment but I hated eating vegetables, “Green Drink” was one of my answers.
