Advice from author and raw gourmet chef Victoria Boutenko
BEST PRACTICE FOR GREEN SMOOTHIE CONSUMPTION
First thing in the morning | Prepare your green smoothie first thing in the morning in the amount you would normally consume for the day. Store the leftovers in a cold place like your refrigerator.
Only greens, fruits, and water | Don’t add any additional ingredients into your smoothie besides greens, fruits, and water. Adding nuts, seeds, oils, or any other ingredients might cause irritation, gas, and ultimately slow down the assimilation of smoothies in your digestive tract.
Drink separately | Always drink your green smoothie separately from your meals to gain the most nutritional benefits. Eat approximately 40 minutes before or after consuming a green smoothie.
Keep it simple | Avoid adding too many ingredients to keep things easy on your digestive system.
Always rotate your greens | Always rotate the green leaves added in your smoothies. Almost all greens in the world contain tiny alkaloids that are harmless in tiny quantities. However if you keep consuming the same greens for many weeks without rotation, the same type of alkaloids can accumulate in your system and cause symptoms of poisoning.
Buy Organic | Organic produce boasts of superior nutrition in comparison to conventionally grown produce which are likely to have been exposed to pesticides and other toxic chemicals. The best way to nourish your body is to consume organic produce and locally grown produce whenever possible.
