A green smoothie a day keeps the doctor away

Hi, Anand here.

We would like these blogs to be useful as well as entertaining so here is perhaps the most simple and effective recipe you will find. It is so powerful that if you just do it without making any other changes to your diet you will feel the benefits.

This is a photo of what I had for breakfast this morning - half a bunch of rainbow chard and 5 lady finger bananas. It looks like and odd combination and certainly very unconventional, however, in around 5 minutes you can transform this into one of the most nutritious, delicious breakfasts/meals available.

1. Peel the bananas and place then in a powerful blender - we use a 2HP Powermill blender.
2. Add one glass of high quality filtered water. We use an Alphion from Jupiter Science which makes the best antioxidant, microclustered, alkaline livng water. Drinking pure living water is even more important than the food we eat.
3. Blend the bananas
4. Add the greens gradually
5. Add your favourite superfoods. (I have added AFA blue green algae, InLiven Probiotic, and wild bee pollen for extra protein, amino acids and friendly bacteria)
6. Drink

The whole process (including washing up) takes under 10 minutes and sustains me for hours.

It is much quicker than juicing, has the whole food with all the fibre (excellent for getting you going in more ways than one) and your body will thank you over and over again.

Remember the food choices you make today and tomorrow will determine your level of health and well-being in the years to come.

If you do nothing else, add one green smoothie to your day. Ideally drink at least 1 litre. If you make extra you can store it in the fridge in a sealed glass jar and top yourself up during the day.

Love, peace and ecstatically good health

Anand

Hi Anand and Runi, congrats on the new blog!

You make killer smoothies! I must say the best green smoothie I've had was at your workshop in Perth.

I've been having silverbeet, apple and banana lately and add spriulina, maca too. I could live on these :)

Take care, best of luck with the blog!

Hello to both of you and what a treat to have a RAW food blog.
Green smoothies a big part of my life and having fun with different combinations.
Tip: do not try to drink smoothie out of glass bottle at work.... if too thick suddenly plops out, oops. Pour into a glass and then sip in ladylike fashion!
good health to all, Joy
