greens. Yet 95% of people who follow a health diet, do not consume enough green leafy

vegetables. I’ll admit, I often have trouble (or sometimes even lack the desire) to eat my

greens. There are days when I just don’t eat enough of them. I know greens are good. I

know I need to eat more greens but I just don’t do it. And then I discovered a fun way to

get more greens into my diet. Here are my Top-3 Ways to get more greens into your diet.

1. Make Green Smoothies

Green smoothies are great and my favorite way to consume a large quantity of greens! When

I first heard about green smoothies I was a little skeptical about blending fruit and

greens and was surprised by the result.

Here are some recipes from my ebook Smoothies for Optimal Health.

Berry Roman Smoothie

1 cup strawberries
2 whole bananas
1/2 bunch romain
1/2 to 1 cup water

Blend fruit and water. Add romaine lettuce. Enjoy.

Being Green Smoothie

2 cups fresh spinach
1 whole grated cucumber or carrot
2 whole bananas
1 whole orange
3 whole apples, juiced

In a blender, whirl together all ingredients until thick and smooth.

2. Make Blended Salads

Once you’ve gotten used to the taste of greens in your smoothies, you can graduate to

making blended salads. You can transition gradually by reducing the amount of fruit in

your smoothie and increasing the quantity of greens. Gaspacho is a type of blended salad.

Here is one of my favorite recipes (though I will admit it took me a while to get used to

the taste and texture of blended salads).

Blended Salad

2 medium tomatoes, roughly chopped
2 ribs of celery
4 leaves lettuce (big)
1 big handful spinach
1 green onion
1/2 avocado
1/4 cup parsley
2 Tbs. dulse flakes
1 Tbs. nori flakes (optional)
Water if needed

Blend the tomatoes together, and add the rest of the ingredients progressively. Use water

only if you need to. A blended salad should be quite thick.
