Adrenal Fatigue Recipes – Very Green Smoothie
We often think a green juice or smoothie can’t taste good – so we stay away.
But this great tasting green smoothie, is really a tropical treat in disguise.
Adding leafy greens to your smoothie is critical, as it boosts the phytonutrients and fiber, which then slows down the absorption of sugars into your body.
The other benefits of phytonutrients are their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. They may also improve our immunity and inter cellular communication, plus protect cells and DNA from damage that may lead to cancer.
So – the moral of the story – eat your greens!!
Very Green Smoothie
Ingredients
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1/2 cucumber (leave the skins on - extra nutrients and fiber)
- 2 stalks celery
- 1 handful parsley
- 1 handful mint (adds so much flavor)
- 1 whole apple (the whole fruit with skin on, not apple juice)
- 1/2 orange (peel the fruit and throw in segments, don't use orange juice)
- 1/4 lime (as above - use fresh fruit, not juice)
- 1/4 lemon (again - use fresh fruit, not juice)
- 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh is best, but if you only have canned be careful NOT to use pineapple stored in sugar syrup)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Add water or ice as needed.
