We Like It Raw has a twitter account. On on that twitter account we occasionally call upon the community for some collective wisdom. Two days ago that wisdom was requested on the topic of Green Smoothies.
Green Smoothies are essentially shakes that make it easier to increase your green intake. Even though they often have quite a bit of greens in them, they taste slightly sweet because they also contain some element of sugar – in the form of fruit, coconut water, agave or honey. Green smoothies are considered to be the best way for people to get started with raw food. Over time green smoothies increase alkalinity, mineral content, digestive fire and overall sexyness. Nah I mean?
But the thing is…. even though a lot of people know about the benefits of drinking green smoothies, many of them are still struggling with the ‘how’ aspect. Just how exactly do you make one? Actually, correction… how do you make one that taste good!?
To help with the how, and to show beginners how easy and fun green smoothies are, I asked the raw twitter community to post their favorite recipe to our account in 140 characters or less, (because that’s twitter’s limit).
Here’s what the community came back with:
