By now, most of you are on board with making delicious green power smoothies, but… this video is for those of you who still scrunch up your nose when we mention adding fresh leafy greens to your smoothies!!

This video is to show you how easy it is, and if you haven’t already tried it to hopefully inspire you to give it a go.
We promise that you will be surprised at how easy and delicious they are, and you too will be hooked!

So why do we add leafy greens to our smoothies?

Leafy greens are nutritional powerhouses and are the No 1 food you can eat regularly to improve your health.

Adding leafy greens to your daily smoothie is one of the easiest and fastest ways to increase your daily intake of leafy greens, which will alkalise your body and give you loads of extra vitamins, minerals and green goodness!
Low in calories, low in fat, high in protein per calorie, high in dietary fibre, and packed with nutrients, leafy greens are a great source of calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, pantothenic acid, phosphorus, potassium, riboflavin, thiamin, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and zinc. Leafy greens are also high in chlorophyl which is the living energy from the sun, and allows plants to absorb energy from light.

You can imagine how much more energised you will feel when you are getting this goodness straight into your body in an easily digestible liquid form like your Green Power Smoothie!

Click below to watch the video demo of how we make our green smoothies and a few tips on how to make your first Green Smoothie:

The Protein Powder used in the vid is this one:

Raw Protein by Garden of Life
[This is a new one that we have just started trying - it is amazing because it is a raw, vegan protein made not only out of organic wholegrain sprouted brown rice, but also: Organic Amaranth Sprout, Organic Quinoa Sprout, Organice Millet Sprout, Organic Buckwheat Sprout, Organic Garbanzo Bean Sprout, Organic Lentil Sprout, Organic Adzuki Bean Sprout, Organic Flaxseed Sprout, Organic Sunflower Seed Sprout, Organic Pumpkin Seed Sprout, Organic Chia Seed Sprout, Organic Sesame Seed Sprout. AND it also contains a Raw Probriotic and Enzyme Blend, Bioactive Glycoproteins, Bioactive Lipoproteins, Bioactive Enzymes, Glucomannan, SOD, Glutathione, Bioactive Trace Minerals, Glutamine and CoQ10.] PHEW! Waaayyy too many ingredients to list in the video!!!

But you can also use any of your usual Protein Powder.

Other ones that we use are a good quality Whey Protein, like Glycowhey from Syntec.

Or a Whole Grain Sprouted Brown Rice Protein. We started with SunWarrior, then Ezy Protein, then Eden Health Foods- There are now tons of different brands out there, and they all are [and taste] pretty much identical.

For those of you who think that you are too busy to make a power smoothie in the morning, it literally only takes a few minutes.

While you have the blender going, you can pack everything away and re-fill your ice tray, and when it’s done simply pour it into a shaker / glass jar ready to take with you, rinse your blender and you’re done!

Make sure you drink your green smoothie straight away, as if you let it sit for a while, it tends to separate.

So if you do take it with you to drink in the car on your way to work, don’t forget to drink it up fast!

Kids love green smoothies too, and they are a great way to sneak in some extra goodness to their diet. Get the whole family on board, and give it a try! Once you start experimenting you will be amazed at what you can sneak in and barely taste it.

So have some fun and get experimenting and let us know how you go!

About the Speaker

Dr. Amy Wright is formally trained as an organic chemist and has spent the past 35 years exploring the chemistry of marine organisms with the goal of identifying natural products with the potential to change how we treat dread diseases. Much of her work has focused on organisms collected in deep water habitats using tools such as the Johnson-Sea-Link submersibles. She received her B.S. from California State University at Dominguez Hills and her MSc and Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of California at Riverside.

About the Lecture

Wherever there is biological diversity there is chemical diversity and this diversity leads to opportunities for finding new medicines. Many plants, marine animals and microbes produce small organic molecules, “natural products”, that provide advantages to the organisms that make them which range from attracting mates to repelling or even poisoning predators.

These same natural products often show activity in human health applications and over 46% of the small molecule medicines used today have their origin in natural products. The talk will discuss the HBOI natural products library and how we are using it to look for new compounds with the potential to treat cancer, tuberculosis, multi-drug resistant bacterial infections, and Alzheimer’s disease.
