Green Smoothie Is The Best
Green Smoothie is the best source of nutrients. It's not that fruits are bad, but fruits contain more calories and sugar than vegetables. One cup of fruit has 60 calories whereas vegetables have 25 calories. Doctors recommend that adult women should take 2 to 2 and 1/2 cup of vegetables and recommends 2 and 1/2 to 3 cup for men. In smoothies, spinach or kale are mostly used. These two vegetables contain a similar amount of protein, fiber, fat, and calories. Also, many researchers suggest that green leafy vegetables may help in reducing the risk of cancer, inflammatory diseases, osteoporosis, 2 type diabetes, and heart disease.
In this blog I am bringing you the 5 best green smoothies recipes that are tasty and nutritious.
