Do you say “I HATE Green Juices and Smoothies”?

Juices and smoothies are yummy – when you use ingredients you love. Strawberry juice, chocolate smoothie… delicious!

But for a more balanced diet, you also need green juices and smoothies.

We know that drinks containing broccoli, kale, spinach and other green vegetables are really good for us – but what if you hate the taste?

I hate celery, for example. If I eat a food dish with even a hint of celery in it, the flavour of that dish is ruined for me. And I dislike broccoli, even though I know it’s good for me.

What about you – what green veggies do you dislike?

The thing is though, that those green, leafy vegetables are truly a miracle of nature. They’re loaded with vitamins and minerals (and they’re really low in calories).

But to get the true benefit of these little miracles, you need to eat a variety.

And that often means, eating green veggies that you dislike.

Sigh.

What makes leafy greens so special?

There are many reasons why leafy greens are one of Nature’s little miracles – read on for 6 of the best reasons!

Here’s a list of the best leafy greens you should be eating and drinking regularly:

• Spinach
• Kale
• Broccoli
• Lettuce – Red and Green Leaf and Romaine
• Cabbage
• Dandelion greens
• Edible leaves from red clover, plantain, watercress and chickweed
• Mustard greens
• Swiss chard
• Escarole
• Turnip greens

Disease Prevention with Green Juices and Smoothies

Leafy greens may help protect from diabetes, heart disease and even some cancers, mainly because of the powerful antioxidants they offer. Take kale for example. It’s a great source of vitamins A C, K, and also supplies calcium, folate and potassium.

Weight Loss with Green Juices and Smoothies

These vegetables have so few calories that they hardly even count. These are also high fiber foods and so they keep you full longer and allow you to eat less. Another benefit of the fiber is that it helps to stabilize blood sugars, and that results in less out-of-control cravings for sweets and other junk.

Vitamins from Green Juices and Smoothies

Different leafy greens have different properties but all of them are good for you. They contain vitamin K, which is essential in helping the body to properly clot blood. Vitamin K also helps prevent bone loss, arterial calcifications, kidney damage and heart disease.  Just a single cup of most leafy green vegetables will provide you with more than enough vitamin K for your system per day.

A cup of raw escarole can help your body by adding pantothenic acid, also called vitamin B5. The B vitamins help carbohydrates break down into glucose to be used for cellular fuel.  The body can’t store B vitamins so you need to find a daily source for them.

Lower Cholesterol with Green Juices and Smoothies

You can actually lower your cholesterol by eating leafy green vegetables. The bile acids produced by the liver which help fats digest from the gastrointestinal tract are bound by the fiber in the leafy greens.  The bile acids pass through the body along with the residue of leafy green vegetables, forcing the liver to use up even more cholesterol to make bile acids.  This reduces your endogenous cholesterol level.

Better Eye Health with Green Juices and Smoothies

All leafy green vegetables are good for the eyes, but the best are mustard greens, Swiss chard, kale and dandelion greens because they are high in carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin.   Carotenoids help filter the high energy light caused by sun and therefore prevent sun-induced cataracts.  These carotenoids also improve overall visual acuity.

Calcium For Bone Health with Green Juices and Smoothies

Leafy green vegetables contain large amounts of calcium. It’s the calcium that gives these foods their slightly bitter taste.  While leafy greens do not give you alone the amount of calcium you need in one day (about a thousand milligrams of calcium per day for women between 30 and 50), they do provide easily absorbable kinds of calcium.  A half a cup of dandelion greens will give you about 75 mg of calcium, while mustard greens can give you 55 mg calcium.

Of course, dairy foods are also a great way to get calcium. But once advantage of leafy greens over dairy is that they are naturally fat free.
