The Standard American Diet has failed us. Why? There are lots of reasons in my opinion, but this week we will focus one: too many cooked foods. Did you know that the average American today goes one to two weeks without consuming raw fruits or veggies? It is very important to eat raw foods because when food is cooked it often becomes acidic, devoid of nutrients and enzymes. All things that our body needs to survive and fight!
What can we do about it? I am all about adding things into our lives before taking things out, especially where children (and sometimes husbands) are concerned! So let's add in green smoothies!
What is a green smoothie? Basically a green smoothie is a fruit smoothie with lots of dark leafy greens added in for fiber, vitamin and mineral content. Did you know that greens are also an excellent source of protein? Green smoothies are awesome in that they taste great and are powerful when it comes to sweeping out toxins and increasing healthy elimination.
