Green Smoothie 101
Category: Smoothie How-To Videos
One of the POSITIVE habits I have managed to maintain for more than 6 months is my Green SMoothie habit~ Green Smoothies are a perfect way to get almost all of your Fruit and Veg servings in all in one meal. You can vary the fruits and greens. Start out slowly and don’t drink a whole blender full if you are not currently getting THIS much fiber in your diet, or you will have some major gastrointestinal issues….build yourself up to drinking a whole blender full~ Health Benefits of Green …

green smoothies are my everyday snack, spinach is fantastic. your smoothie looks fantastic so thick, I’m going to try this one out! thanks :)
Nice video, I’m a smoothie girl too! I like to add super foods like blue green algae, cacao and maca in addition to my fruits and veggies.
You will love them…..raises your immune system too…..best thing you can do for yourself. :-)
i’ve been playing with the idea of starting to drink a green smoothie… i think you have just pushed me over the edge! :D
I will have to check yours out~ :-)
Almost like my smoothies. Except no dairy in mine and I add super foods.
I certainly will, I will be here to cheer you on~ :-)
The “um” is an Iowa thing! :) Way to go cuz! I am so proud of you! I’ll tune in often and maybe you can motivate me to get up off my duff! xoxo
It’s about 400 cal or more depending on the ingredients~ The next smoothie video I will list the calories on the sidebar~ Have a great day~ :-)
Karla, Thank you for showing this method to prepare “Green Smoothies.” Would you be able to estimate the calorie content for this for me (with the flax seed)? Also, did you use non-fat plain or vanilla yoghurt? Thank you! Keep up the GREAT spirit!!!
It’s a great way to get all your servings in, plus you cannot taste the greens…make sure you put a banana in and the green taste is gone~ I like to vary the fruit sometimes, and I ususually put in kale and sometime mustard greens too~ I will be posting more to come~ Good Luck, I will check out your video~ :-)
It’s really good~ You will love it! :-)
Hmmm… I’ve never put vegetables into a smoothie… I’ve never even heard of someone doing that! I must try it, I juice veg – carrot, celery, cucumber, peppers and two apples too and for me it’s like drinking poison lol but I’m getting used to it! I usually only put fruit in smoothies, along with some mixed nuts to really thicken it and some powdered flaxseed mixed with other seeds in it. I’m going to be making a weight loss vlog this evening! Looking forward to it! :)
Thanks soooo much Karla!! I’ve gotta try this one!
Well…it depends on what you put in it…but approx. 400 cal. or so….it’s not for people who don’t LIKE to drink your calories, but I find it worth it due to getting ALL my fruit and veg over with before 10AM….. :-)
I will try and post some more creative ideas, I tend to get stuck and make the same ones….will try and create some new ones~
Yay! Keep the smoothie recipies coming! I always make the same thing, skim milk, banana, blueberries, flax and sometimes a little frozen yogurt.. so I need some new ideas :)
Awesome video! I drank green smoothies for awhile then stopped :S do you know how many calories are approx in a green smoothie?
You are so welcome, please let me know how you like them~ :-)
I will have to try this out, I find it very hard to get my veg in so drinking them might be my answer. Thanks for the vid.
