A Smoothie That Could Improve Your Health!

in #food7 years ago

This Smoothie is rich in antioxidant.

The Parsley and Lemon smoothie with extra honey and flax seeds is a great way to energize and detox your body once in a while.

Sometimes, I'm having a day, when I feel the lack of energy and with a house full of people I can't allow myself to take the day off. And this is when this smoothie comes to the rescue!!!
I like to take good care of myself.
I like to exercise and eat a healthy diet.

I don't make this smoothie too often.
Most of the time it is for few days in a row and then I go back to other smoothies.
Once I feel that my hemoglobin went up I stop - about 4 - 5 days.

Also, this smoothie is an excellent diuretic!
Parsley is known for combating the urinary problems, kidney diseases.

It's rich in Iron, Vitamin C, Beta-Carotene, Vitamin E as well as Folic Acid and other minerals.

This Blueberry-Lemon Smoothie is one of my favorite snacks & it's easy to make. Just add blueberries, lemon, agave & ice. BLEND!

Thanks for sharing!

It looks great and without doubt healthy but i would like to ask how is the taste ?

I like it! Lemon and honey helps @tsunayos

Looks good!!

I wish I grew parsley this year in the garden.

hahaha...can't you buy it at the store @vegetarianbaker?

Yeah ahah ;) but I always find it much cheaper to grow it. :)

yes, that's true...and what a convenience....

what is the flavor like tho? It it one of those smoothies that u need to drink so you just chug it back or is it enjoyable?

I enjoy drinking it :) Lemon and honey help @sinkdncurvy!

@progressivechef

Thanks so very much @progressivechef :)

I like the step by step process approach you took here. Makes it easier to make the smoothie without missing any ingredient. Very cool.

Good timing. Today is exactly one of those days that I lack an enormous amount of energy. I'm definitly gonna try this one.

yes, give it a go @sir eastbound!

It look amazing!!! Very healthy and take out the pain. And keep the body slim.
@creativewoman

Yes, exactly @creative woman :)))

I loved the way you use a Martini glass to serve your G-Juice. I can imagine the new James Bond v2.0 telling the barman to make it green, slow juiced, not blended! - I haven't had a green juice fast in a long time, I eat way too much salad, not that I could ever eat enough. I don't know what it is with my greens, but I need them daily or I feel sluggish! Nice post and compliments on being a mother to 5 kids, is your husband included in the 5? I'm a father to 1 and he's 19, so I think I need both of those Vegan Bond cocktails you've just made! Have a great weekend!

hahaha..no the father in not included in the 5...
Salad is great as well...
Thanks @govegan!

With chlorophyll content, green smoothies are excellent for slimming. A cure followed for one week contributes to the detoxification of the body. I prepare them with spinach, celery and cabbage. Taste is not always good, but if you add pumpkin seeds, almonds or nuts, the taste will improve significantly. So if you want to lose weight healthy, give up the weight loss pills and eat foods rich in antioxidants. I tell you from my own experience.

@allesia, thank you for sharing you knowledge.....
however I'm not trying to lose any weight and I don't think my post could miss guide you in any way, as I did not mention anything about me being unhappy with my weight...
I like myself the way I am.
I eat healthy diet and exercise as well, plus my kids keep me very busy.
And no I DO NOT take any kind of weight loss pills.......
Like I mentioned this above, I drink this smoothie when I feel the lack of energy.... :)

Oh, please excuse me, now I understand what happened. It was a similar post about green smoothies and I accidentally wrote the comment to your post.

No worries @allesia, sometimes it happens :)

Very rich looking!
