My First Green Smoothie Video and An Amazing Recipe Of The Day!



It's been a couple days since my last Green Smoothie Blog so I think I'll put up something new.
I'm learning as I go along here so not only is this a blog on my favorite drink, the amazing green smoothie but also a look at my computer and business skills learning curve first hand.

Just a few minutes ago I learned how to ad a You Tube video to my blog, very exciting. Take a look at it and you can see just how my morning green smoothie blend comes together and what my beautiful drinks come out like every morning.

The video is from a couple days ago and is a great recipe for you to try.

Today though, my smoothie was exceptional and I wrote down exactly what I put in it so you can have a go at it. You will love it. It is so packed with great nutrients and super foods that you won't know what to do with all of your energy. I got a ton of things done today and I know my energy, clarity and focus and ability to have fun throughout the day came from my delicious green smoothie for breakfast.

Here is a fabulous recipe (exactly as I made it this morning):

16 ounces of water to start
4 ounces of tangerine juice (I just cut 2 of them in half, squeezed them by hand and picked out the seeds)
2 Bananas
1 Juicy Pear
1 whole Avocado
1 whole bunch Green Chard
2 Tablespoon Goji Berries
1 Tablespoon Bee Pollen
2 Tablespoon whole Flax Seeds

This one makes a lot of smoothie and I share them with my wife each morning so you can cut down on the ingredients if it is just for you. You can cut everything in half and it would be a good amount for one person to drink in a day.

This is really an advanced smoothie with the few super foods added in at the end. I was looking for a smoothie with substance today as I knew I had some physical work to do.

You could leave out the Gojis, Bee Pollen and flax and still have a great smoothie.

Give this one a try and get over to http://www.thegreensmoothie.com/, send me a note and let me know how you like it.

If you want to have the blending experience of a lifetime with the new wave of super power smoothie blending go to this page and click on the big blender picture at the bottom to find the worlds best blender for high power smoothie blending. You can't get any better. You can also find it all throughout my blog pages. I'm crazy about my Amazing Green Smoothie Blender!
You will be too when you try one.

Depression, Anxiety and the Green Smoothie




















Let's Take A Look At Depression And Anxiety
And How
The Green Smoothie Can Help


Here is a picture of today's green smoothie blend. It was a thick one but very tasty. Sometimes I get so excited about how I feel drinking these green smoothies that I just keep adding more greens.

Here is what is in it:


Two ripe Bananas

One juicy ripe pear

A small carton of blueberries

One Meyer lemon (just the yellow part of the skin off leaving the white)

One whole avocado with the pit (no skin, I haven't tried that yet)

1/2 a head of green leaf lettuce

1/2 a head of romaine lettuce

20 ounces of crystal clear water (since I am sharing)


This is a great hearty green smoothie today with the avocado pit. If you read my blog or my site at http://www.thegreensmoothie.com/ or watch my You Tube Videos, you will know about the fruit seeds and pits I blend and why. There are many wonderful nutrients and valuable fiber in them.


Plus, the 3 horse power blender I use turns them to liquid in seconds.
OK, some of you may know through My Space that I have had challenges with depression and I have chosen to use medications in the past to deal with it.

For 15 years or more I have been juicing fresh fruits and veggies and just about 4 months ago came across the amazing healing powers of the green smoothie. The difference being that fresh juice is just the juice. A fresh green smoothie contains all the fiber, seeds and sometime skins in a much healthier balance than the plain juice.

Don't get me wrong, juicing is great and will do wonders for your health, but in my experience the whole fruit and leafy greens green smoothies are far more balanced and have allowed for really amazing changes in my mental, emotional and physical health.

I have been drinking these smoothies now every day for 4 months and the changes have been amazing. You can read about them at the bottom of the page in this link.

Now the coolest part about all the changes that I have been going through by drinking these smoothies is the change in my emotional health. I have been so calm, and almost totally non reactionary in stressful situations, the times I've been down or depressed lately have been very mild and easy to shift out of and I have been way more relaxed than usual about everything.
For me, all of that is wonderful.

Now on the medications I've taken in the past, I felt very much the same as I've been feeling drinking the smoothies but the meds caused me to feel very numb and unemotional and my brain function was just dull to say the least. With the meds, I would be in a conversation and just couldn't really think of anything to say. Now on the smoothies, I have real clarity of thought and focus and the ability to stay calm and happy most of the time. It's way better than being on the chemical meds.

I'm not a scientist or doctor or even professionally trained at any of this but what I think is happening is that my body is basically getting really pure, unprocessed, green and vital nutrition and it is naturally coming into its natural healthy balance. All I know is that all kinds of things are changing inside of me and I feel tons more energy, I look and feel younger, my skin is so smooth and all kinds of other aches and pains are going away. All by simply drinking some fresh fruits and leafy greens each day. Not a bad deal!

The other part I'll mention here is that by blending the fruit and greens up, I don't have to spend the time and energy chewing and digesting which allows my body the extra energy to heal and balance the parts that need it. Its just amazing! Can you get my enthusiasm cause it is real.
So that is all for today.

I hope you find yourself excited about green smoothie making and all the wonderful changes you will be experiencing.

Power in the Greens!

The Green Smoothie ~VS~ Toxic Medications


Here is why I think the amazing green smoothie can be an awesome substitute for taking chemical medications that cost tons of money.

Yes, I've taken meds for depression and they have helped. I now drink a green smoothie a day and I feel far better than any meds ever helped me feel and I know that it is because my body is getting proper and vital nutrients from the leafy greens I drink.

Since I have been drinking green smoothies my head has been clear and my moods have been calm and hopeful. When I was on drugs my head was numb and my moods were flat and I was unable to cry and feel much as a healthy expression of transformation.

I am amazed each day that I have had such profound emotional, physical and mental changes from simply adding a green smoothie to my diet every day or so.

You don't have to go and figure out what potions, pills or powders to ingest cause all you do is get out your blender, put in some of your favorite fruits, leafy greens and water and you have a drink that will have you feeling better than you could imagine. That is why I call them the Amazing Green Smoothies.

So, do something very good for yourself and make one, drink it down and get in a habit of doing it everyday. You will be transformed. Let your body heal itself with the proper real nutrients that it craves. You will then find yourself free of the expensive toxic drugs that screw your body and mind up for the long term.

It is important that you learn to be responsible for your own health. Your doctors will sell you what makes them the most money because they are desperate and generally greedy.

Imagine drinking a green smoothie a day and having your health challenges fade away simply because you have chosen to care for yourself in ways that a doctor pushing drugs never will.

I wish you well, truly!

So as you can tell, I'm pretty hot on these Green Smoothies. I've had such awesome results from drinking them that I feel like I want to tell the world as much as I can about them. So I've created a site at www.TheGreenSmoothie.com

Today I just want to say something about all the sugar I see people feeding there kids and how it frustrates me. I grew up devouring sugar any chance I could get, feeling crappy, not being able to keep focussed in school, or stay awake for that matter, and finding it very hard to stop eating sugar later on in life.

I want to encourage parents to not fall prey to the mass media marketing blitz to get your kids to eat as much sugar as they can and find some strength inside to create the will power to find a healthy alternative. You will only better your life and the lives of your children if you can find it in your power to do so.

Processed sugar will slow you and your kids down in the long run, totally screw up their systems, making them crazy and hyper one minute and lethargic the next and all for what, just for a moment of fleeting pleasure or to appease a screaming brat that is already addicted to the stuff.
Do yourself a favor, learn about Green Smoothies, start drinking them, let you and your kids addicted systems heal naturally and watch your life come into ballance. It's really not that difficult.

Once you get some healthy strenghth and personal will power back by feeding yours and your childrens bodies real nutrients, you will wish you hadn't waited so long to add this simple drink to your life.

Give Green Smoothies a try, you'll then understand my passion and desire to share something so life changing and so easy!

TheGreenSmoothie.com Review

Have you ever tried a green smoothie?

And I don't mean one of those commercial green smoothies out there on the market.

The green smoothie I am talking about is the kind you can throw together in your blender in a couple of minutes with a few fresh pieces of fruit and a big bunch of your favorite leafy greens. The fruit makes them taste great and the bright green color will scare anyone that sees you drinking it.

Don't let the greens scare you out of adding these highly nutritious drinks to your daily diet. One green smoothie can contain more greens in it than most americans get in their diets in a month.
And we all know the value of the fiber from eating good fresh fruits and veggies.

In my searching the net for some information on these very popular green smoothies I have found all kinds of great recipes to help me get the greens I have been craving. After just a short time drinking green smoothies I feel better than I have in years.

A site that really gives you a complete overview of how to make them, why to drink them, the best blenders to use and some simple recipes to get started with is

www.TheGreenSmoothie.com

You will find what you need there and I hope that you have the life changing experience that I have once you start drinking green smoothies.

They will make a big difference in your health.
