Green smoothies are amazingly popular at the moment and can be a great way to add more fruits and veggies to your diet without feeling that you need to munch on kale or celery. These blended drinks can combine leafy green vegetables with fruits and even with healthy fats such as hemp or flax seeds. There are endless recipes online or you can experiment with whatever is in your fridge. So why should you add green smoothies to your diet?

They are Simple and Quick to Make

You don’t need any special equipment to make a smoothie, just an ordinary blender. All you have to do is wash all your fruits and veggies and throw them in. It will probably take you longer to drink your smoothie than to make it.

They Help Fill You Up

Green smoothies contain plenty of fibre which will help keep you feeling full for longer. The ingredients in a green smoothie tend to have a low glycaemic index, helping to keep your blood sugar levels balanced so you are less likely to want to snack in between meals.

Green Smoothies Are Easy to Digest

Provided you blend them thoroughly, most of the cells in the fruits and vegetables will rupture, making it easier for the body to absorb essential nutrients.
