Incorporating a blended meal on a daily basis is an excellent way to get ahead of the curve when it comes to your health. The beauty of a blended meal is that part of the digestion is accomplished already when the food is blended in an emulsifier or blender etc. The food is easier to digest when it's blended, because the body doesnt have to work as hard to break it down when it has been blended. And when digestion is easier for the body, you have more energy throughout your day.
An example of a blended meal is a GREEN SMOOTHIE. Now, you may have heard of the GREEN SMOOTHIE. It's been popularized as a great alternative to a traditional meal. Here is a quick recipe for a breakfast smoothie: a handful of Spinach, a few leaves of Kale, banana (I prefer half a banana,) an apple, Alfalfa sprouts, a little bit of Raw Honey (optional,) 2-3 cups of some kind of liquid (water or rice milk.) Put into a blender or VITAMIX machine and blend away. It's better to NOT have the smoothie be overly sweet, which is why I suggest less banana (as bananas have a high sugar content.) I am constantly trying new recipes for a GREEN SMOOTHIE. Savory or sweet, a GREEN SMOOTHIE is a must for anyone who is serious about incorporating green leafy vegetables into their diet. And eating green leafy vegetables is the foundation for a healthy diet.
