If you told me a year ago that I would be looking forward to consuming a green smoothie, I would have laughed at you and maybe even throw a piece of bacon at your head (maybe not…don’t want to waste bacon). Just to say, I wasn’t always a fan of green smoothies.
The author calls green smoothies, “the new fast food of today!” I have to say green smoothies are indeed very fast to make. Throw your ingredients in a blender until smooth and voila! You are just one cup away to a healthier you. 😉
One of the best parts about this eBook is the recipes! Over 50 different green smoothies.
Each recipe has the nutritional information per serving. This is great if you are tracking your calories intake. There are lots of different smoothies to choose from, so you won’t get bored.
After reading the eBook, I wanted to try my recipe, so I grab a few items that I had in the fridge and made my self a green smoothie for work.
You guys already know I don’t write recipes, I just eyeball it!
- 1 Green Apple
- 1/2 a cucumber
- Two celery stalks
- some ginger
- water
- Some Kale (not pictured)
I didn’t add a lot of kale because I’m not a big fan. I’m more of a spinach kind of girl, but I didn’t have any in the house.
Next time around I’m going to add more fruits. I’m used to adding a lot more fruits than greens, so I’m not 100% sure that I liked my recipe.
Jonathan Vine does advice to take it slowly at first by adding more fruits and gradually adding more veggies in your green smoothies. If you are looking to start a weight loss detox, I would definitely recommend getting a copy of “The Weight Loss & Detox Secret Green Smoothies.”
Head on over to Amazon to read more about the Author of this awesome eBook

I keep hearing all sorts of buzz about the benefits of green smoothies! I am sure it tastes great, but the color is just a little too off putting for me 🙂

I drink that same green smoothie almost every day. I have gasteropariese and I have to live off mush and soups and smoothie types of foods and I have to say I’m impressed with how mine turns out. I have so many green smoothie recipes I even got the kids to try it and they like a few of them too. 50 recipes I don’t think I have 50 recipes this is a book I would love to have. I just recently discovered the kindel app on my android phone and I wonder what on earth took me so long I have a book that is almost like this one just it’s for gasteroparies diet.

I do a lot of green smoothies. I did a green smoothie colon cleanse before. I got so sick of green smoothies that I swore I would never do another. NEVER, SAY NEVER.

That’s excellent advice to add the green in gradually. I think that’s what I’ll do.

These smoothies are actually very good for weight loss, it’s just a bit hard to get into it in the beginning but once it becomes normal the results are worth it!

50 different green smoothie recipes?! Wow! I like using avocado. Funny, because I don’t actually like avocado, but if I use a small amount, I get the creamy without the taste LOL

I love green smoothies. I just love smoothies in general. I did a 30-day challenge last year and it was great. I even wrote a smoothie recipe book and have another in the works. Good stuff.

I know it has many health benefits, and I do love green veggies, but like Robin, the color just sets me back. I really should give one a try though. You never know unless you try, right!?
