Green smoothies - the ingredients

Green smoothies - my favourites

It is very important to me to provide my body with a good supply of vital substances, minerals and vitamins. The healthy fibre also helps to cleanse the intestines. I want to go through the day energised and awake. I don't always manage to eat enough salad and vegetables for this. That's why green smoothies are the basis of my healthy diet.

I usually make myself a green smoothie for breakfast. Often a whole litre or more, which I then drink throughout the morning. I love it when I can still taste the individual ingredients.

Green smoothies: the soft version to start with

Green smoothies take some getting used to - especially as a start to the day. That's why I recommend „sweet“ green smoothies for beginners - a mixture of salad, vegetables and fruit.

Mix first:

  •  Water as required
  • 1 - 4 apples
  • 5 celery stalks (approx. 10 cm)
  • 10 cm cucumber

Then add:

  • 2 handfuls of spinach (fresh or frozen a little less)
  • 1 avocado

Green smoothies: The power smoothie

Fruit contains a lot of fructose. It ferments in the stomach, whereby vitamins are lost and gases and toxins are formed. This is why fruit should only be eaten on an empty stomach - then it is digested quickly - in about 30 minutes - and the valuable substances can be fully absorbed by the body.

That's why I eat some fruit very early after getting up. The power smoothie comes a little later.

Mix first:

  • Water as required
  • 5 celery stalks (approx. 10 cm)
  • 10 cm cucumber

Then add: 

  • 2 handfuls of spinach (fresh or frozen a little less)
  • 1 avocado
  • A few cabbage leaves
  • 1 handful of kale (fresh or frozen a little less)
  • Some coriander
  • Some chilli pepper
