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).
