F OR the second half of the century, a smoothie
beverage meant a sweet beverage made from fruit,
fruit juice, ice, and sometimes sugar and milk. Health-
conscious people might use soy milk, yoghurt, honey,
or added protein powder or other supplements. But in
the new millennium, smoothies have undergone a
revolution. The green smoothie is a much healthier
drink. These smoothies are made by blending fresh
fruits, leafy greens, and water. Not too bitter and not
too sweet, green smoothies are fresh, creamy, and
delicious. Kids love them, and “green-haters” crave
them. Quick to make and consume, these tasty
smoothies are the definitions of ease and convenience.
I F green smoothies were the only thing you ever did
with raw foods, you’d be making a substantial
contribution to your health. Greens are nutritional
powerhouses, containing vitamins, minerals,
phytonutrients, fiber, protein, and even small amounts
of Omega 3’s. Greens are the most important food you
can eat, but most people don’t eat enough. Here’s
where the blender comes in. It “chews” the greens for
you, breaking down the cell walls and releasing the
nutrients. So in a green smoothie, you’re getting all the
goodness of greens without anything you don’t want—
no sugar or dairy products (as is often the case in
regular smoothies) and no salt or oil (as is often the
case in salads).

T RY Apple Banana Green Smoothie and Blueberry
Green Smoothie for inexpensive drinks made from
readily available ingredients. Non-Sweet Green
Smoothie and Garden Vegetable Smoothie are perfect
when you want a savory alternative. The other 6
smoothies in this guide provide variety and draw upon
seasonal ingredients.
y OU can also improvise your own green smoothie
based on what you have in the refrigerator. Since the
ingredients are simple—fruits, greens, and water—you
probably have them on hand. Here’s the basic formula
for one 2-cup serving: 2/3 cup water, 2 cups fruit,
and 1 cup greens.
G REEN smoothies make a great meal replacement,
usually for breakfast, but even for a light lunch or
dinner. You might wish to make 4 cups, doubling the
recipe. That way, you can have a large smoothie
throughout the morning. Store the rest in the
refrigerator and have it as an appetizer with lunch or
dinner or as a mid-afternoon smack (most green
smoothies keep up to 24 hours).
