Some days you can enjoy a juice, and on other days you can
have a blended smoothie.
The truth is you don’t have to be an all-or-nothing enthusiast of either blending or
juicing. Some days you can enjoy a juice, and on other days you can have a blended
smoothie. You can also have them both on the same day, in the same meal, by combining
juiced vegetables and leafy greens from a juice extractor and then pouring the liquid into a
blender. To make this into a smoothie, simply add fresh or frozen berries, banana, or other
fruits, and blend together. Superfoods including spirulina, gogi berries, maca, oriental
herbs or tonics, and protein powders may also be added. This combination method is
certainly one to consider.
Complete Guide to Blending
All blenders are not created equal. A high-powered blender like the Vitamix or Blendtec
will make your smoothie creamier, which you may find to be more enjoyable to drink.
When making a smoothie it is best to use a three-step process. First, add the liquid to the
blender pitcher. Second, add the greens and blend well. Third, add remaining ingredients
and blend again until smooth. Add more liquid if needed to make your smoothie a
drinkable consistency. Gogi berries, maca, green powder, and other superfoods are a good
way to give your smoothie a boost. Add superfoods near the end of the blending process.
Green tea is a good liquid to use for smoothies, as are nut or seed milks, coconut water,
or purified/filtered water. Green tea can be made the standard way and refrigerated in a
Mason jar so that it is ready to use in a morning smoothie. Rather than just using filtered
water, using green tea instead will add many powerful medicinal herbs to your blended
drinks. Green tea is low in caffeine, less than coffee, (or you can purchase decaffeinated)
and contains antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins that will help restore and energize your
body. Green tea is also high in the amino acid L-theanine. This has a calming effect and
aides with concentration. People will have a different level of alertness when drinking
green tea, which many mistake for the caffeine’s effect, when it is really the effect of L-
theanine. It’s high in antioxidants and the benefits are amazing. It also depends on the
green tea you purchase. Loose tea has less caffeine than bags, and some green teas are less
caffeinated, best to drink in the morning hours. Yerba mate is another powerful antioxidant
tea, and it has a higher concentration of chlorogenic acid than does green tea. Chlorogenic
acid is known to combat inflammation, reduce cancer cells, clear arteries, destroy bacteria,
