Green smoothies are the solution for several problems, such as low energy, headaches, muscle pain and they even help you with easing menstrual cramps. We alternate everyday between green smoothies and green juices 🙂 Making a green smoothie is a pretty fast way to consume a variety of healthy ingredients in just one meal. You only need a little preparation 😉 . For best results use a power blender as they break down the vegetables making them smooth and hardly detectable.
