green smoothies with seasonal fruits
and vegetables
 the late winter and early spring season offers many options for
fruits and vegetables and leafy green vegetables. We have
already mentioned the importance and benefits of consuming
seasonal fruit and vegetables, not only for our health but also
for the environment. Seasonal fruit and vegetables do not
require the use of so many pesticides or fertilizers to help them
grow since they were developed in the optimal climatic
conditions, which is also why it tastes better! They also provide
us with just the right nutrients, just the nutrients we need in
every time of the year, for example the citrus fruits that we find
in winter provide us with vitamin C to fight colds and flu, while
the melon or watermelon in the summer season are refreshing
and provide us with all the hydration we need to combat the
heat.
recipes

 Green smoothie with mango:

 2 cups of spinach
 ½ cucumber
 1 mango
 ½ lemon (juice)
 Coriander to taste
 Green with orange smoothie:

 1 cup kale
 1 cup of spinach
 1 orange (you can strain it and use only the
juice, although the ideal is to include the fiber
as well)
 3 sprigs of parsley
 Green smoothie with pineapple

 1 cup chard
 1 cup of lettuce
 ½ cup red cabbage
 1 cup of pineapple
 1 piece of ginger
notes
 Keep in mind that to all these smoothies you can add
more “super foods” to make them more nutritious, such
as: spirulina, cocoa, sesame cream, hemp, nuts and
seeds such as chia or flaxseed (previously soaked), etc.
 As a liquid, you can choose between water, coconut
water, or vegetable slurries.
 The ideal vegetable-to-fruit ratio is 3 cups of vegetables
to 1 cup of fruit. If you are not used to it, you can slightly
increase the fruit content, but the greens always have to
be the dominant part of the smoothie.
