Blends of fresh or powdered green vegetables such as kale and spinach with fruit can provide your five–a–day in one serving. They're packed with fibre, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to boost vitality and health.
The experts say: "Most of us don't eat enough fruit and vegetables so smoothies are a better choice than juices as the fibre content is retained," explains nutritionist Sara Stanner from The Nutrition Society. "However, a range of fruit and vegetables is important because they vary in nutrient content, so don't just opt for green veg, try to throw in other colours too."
"Green smoothies are good for alkalising the body," says Claire Harper, nutrition consultant at The Nutrition Guide (thenutritionguide.co.uk). "The western diet of white bread, pasta, alcohol, coffee, meat and dairy is highly acid forming, which can cause inflammation making us more susceptible to illness. Counteracting this by drinking greens every day is a natural way to protect your health."
Good for: Increasing energy. Also, after a week or two you'll notice clearer skin and brighter eyes.
Try it: Create a half and half blend of green leafy vegetables (spinach, lettuce and celery, etc) and fruits (banana, strawberries and blueberries) and add water, milk or yogurt.
