Green smoothies have a lot of benefits that is good for us for our everyday cycle and they can help us maintain our bodies. While having the green smoothie you are getting a lot of fruits and vegetables in you which is a good thing because if you don't eat 
much of fruits and veggies your getting the portion that need in that as smoothie. Once you start having a habit of drinking it everyday you will start craving for it, and will kind of forget the junk food, but maybe you would eat it once in a while which wouldn't really be bad. Drinking green smoothies you are getting proteins, calcium, vitamin c, and magnesium. Most smoothies have 60:40 ratio of fruits to vegetables.

Recipe for Green Smoothie




The ingredients that are in the smoothie:

• 1/2 cup fresh red grapefruit juice
• 1 cup destemmed dinosaur/lacinato kale
• 1 large sweet apple, cored and roughly chopped
• 1 cup chopped cucumber
• heaping 1/2 chopped celery (1 med stalk)
• 3-4 tablespoons hemp hearts
• 1/4 cup frozen mango 
• 1/8 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 tablespoon virgin coconut oil (optional)
• 3-4 ice cubes
• 1/2- 1 tablespoon algae oil (do not add to smoothie- take separately

Some of the benefits for this green smoothie is that you are getting good amount of protien for fruits and veggies, vitamin, fibre, and all the other healthy benefits that our body needs to get each and everyday so that we don´t  need to suffer cancer, diabeties, heart diesease and more.

• 1/2 cup fresh red grapefruit juice
• 1 cup destemmed dinosaur/lacinato kale
• 1 large sweet apple, cored and roughly chopped
• 1 cup chopped cucumber
• heaping 1/2 cup chopped celery (1 med. stalk)
• 3-4 tablespoons hemp hearts (I use 4 tbsp)
• 1/4 cup frozen mango
• 1/8 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 tablespoon virgin coconut oil (optional)
• 3-4 ice cubes, as needed
• 1/2-1 tablespoon algae oil (do not add to smoothie - take separately), optional

The fruits and veggies that you had put in are benificial because:

• Kale- low in calorie, vitamin c and k, superfood, fiber, and helps digest other food.
• Grapefruit- vitamin c, good for our liver, protects against cancer, boosts metabolism, and reduce kidney stone risk.
• Cucumbers- help digest food, flushes out toxins, cuts cancer, good for eyesight and has a lot of vitamins.
• Celery- has fibre, and vitamin a,c and k.
• Apples- fibre, helps balance blood sugar level, reduces cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. 
• Algae oil- omega 3 fatty acids, and helps cleans wastewater.
• Virgin coconut oil- lowers cholesterol, reduces heart disease, and boosts metabolism.
• Huller hemp seeds- protien and high on fibre.
• Mangoes- vitamin c, fibre, prevents cancer, eye health, and boosts immune system.

These are some of the reasons why green smoothie is very high in fibre.
