New Green Smoothie Recipes From Victoria Boutenko

Victoria Boutenko’s new book, Green Smoothie Revolution: The Radical Leap Toward Natural Health, offers an easy solution to the common pandemic of consuming unbalanced meals for the sake of convenience—green smoothies! Boutenko, of the notorious Raw Family, offers some sound advice for people who are just starting out on a raw foods diet: “I don’t recommend switching to an all-raw diet overnight. Instead I recommend that beginners start adding one quart of green smoothie to their existing diet. After several weeks, they will notice that they will crave salads, fruit, and other healthier foods in place of processed, refined or other cooked foods.” Thanks for the words of wisdom, Victoria! Whether you’re a raw foodie, vegetarian, or omnivore, we dare you to take a proactive step towards the most nutrient-rich diet possible with green smoothies. Here are a few recipes to help spur your interest:
