It is amazing how much it costs to purchase those bottled green smoothie drinks that are made to help you cleanse your system and give you an added health benefits. When you are looking at $4-5 a day for a single bottle, it doesn’t take long to recognize that it is so much more affordable to make your own. Less than $1 a day! Not only that, a homemade fresh smoothie tastes so good because you are in control of adding the items you love.
Green smoothies have the distinct impression to most people that they are bitter and hard to get down. However, I have been experimenting with recipes and have found a tasty combination of ingredients that will leave your taste buds almost smiling! Here are one of my favorite blends that you can try!

I drink a healthy veggie juice like this daily. It helped kick start some great weight loss. It helps to cleanse out your system and it gets all of the nutrients you may be missing right into your body. I do not find these bitter because the pineapple or oranges really helps to cut the bitter taste. Give it a try!
Enjoy!
