If you are a supporter of a healthy lifestyle or want to become a supporter of healthy nutrition, then I suggest starting with green smoothies.

Fantasy, experiments, any fruits and vegetables.
The benefits of green cocktails
- Green cocktails are nutritious because they contain a large amount of proteins and amino acids.
- Absorbed by the body as much as possible, without causing heaviness in the stomach.
- They saturate well, respectively, less other less wholesome food is consumed.
- Thanks to the fiber, the drink removes toxins from the body, cleanses of toxins and normalizes the intestines.

On a note:
all plants have a fibrous structure and nutrients are stored in their cells. In order for the body to assimilate and properly digest the vitamins and trace elements that they contain, the greens should be thoroughly chewed. When it is crushed, the cell membranes are disrupted, and all the benefits from them are released. To prepare cocktails, a blender is used, which in the best way "chews" the grass in the best way, which allows the body to get maximum usefulness from it.
Potential harm to green cocktails
There are few contraindications to green cocktails. Despite the fact that this is a liquid food, they contain fiber, which is not enough for the full functioning of the stomach. Refusal of solid food will disrupt the digestive process, which will provoke regular constipation due to weak peristalsis. Also, you can not replace regular food with cocktails. Teeth need stress: bite, gnaw, chew. During these processes, a natural antiseptic is released, saliva, which cleans the teeth. By drinking only liquid drinks, less saliva is produced. This entails the development of caries, dental plaque.
Beverages should be introduced into the menu gradually to avoid food allergies. You can start with 220-250 ml per day.

From fruits, pears, ripe mangoes, dates, dried apricots are suitable. To prevent the drink from being sugary sweet, pour in lime or lemon juice.
