There are many different fruit and vegetable combinations which you can create to satisfy your taste buds and have fun experimenting with new ways to stay healthy. You can mix anything from different types of fruits or vegetables to combining a bit of both for a sweet and earthy taste. Smoothies should include organic “fresh” foods in which the use of synthetic chemicals is minimized. Once your ingredients are set and you have created your green smoothie, this beverage can last up to a few days in the refrigerator. By making green smoothies and exercising daily, supported by a whole foods, plant-based diet rich in leafy greens such as spinach, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats, your body will have everything it needs to cleanse itself naturally.
