You will love the way you feel in the morning after drinking your green smoothie. Play with the ingredients and create your own favorites.
Green smoothies are the perfect way to re-hydrate yourself in the morning. Their mega-nutrition can energize you, balance your mood, and replenish your liquids after hours spent sleeping, sweating and breathing out your fluids. Green smoothies also alkalize your blood, which prevents disease. What’s even better? A green smoothie’s vitamins and minerals are quickly absorbed by the body, leaving you feeling fulfilled, clear minded, and after a while – happier! That’s right, happier! Greens are very expansive, which means they allow your body to relax.
An expansive green smoothie can be balanced by adding a pinch of mineral-rich Celtic Sea Salt, which is contracting in nature.

* Green apples are sour fruit that are allowed on Body Ecology. Ideally, fruit should be eaten alone and on an empty stomach for best digestion This is a great smoothie if you are in transition to deeper healing with Body Ecology or if you have completely healed your digestive system. Eliminate the apple if you are dealing with candida-related problems and use some fermented coconut meat and Stevia to thicken and flavor your smoothie.
