Savour Better For Beginners

If you're starting your green smoothie journey and you've tried a couple that you just don't like it's probably not the recipes fault. it's just because your taste buds aren't ready for it so I'm going to share five tips that you can use to make your green smoothies taste a lot better.

No.1 Lighter Colored Greens & Lighter Tasting Greens: Try using lighter colored greens and lighter tasting greens a lighter colored green such as iceberg or Boston bibb lettuce or romaine lettuce tend to have a milder flavour and they're perfect for beginners if you try the bitter greens it's going to be too much too soon it's sort of like trying dark chocolate you don't start with a ninety percent that's just going to be too bitter you start off with the sixty percent and then the seventy and then the eighty you catch my drift you just start slow work your way up and that way your taste buds aren't shocked.

No.2 Some Fresh Lime Or Lemon Juice: Add some fresh lime or lemon juice this is a game changer for me I can have an entire smoothie made of greens if it has a whole lemon in it it's something about the lemon it tones down that bitterness of the greens and it brightens the flavor plus you get vitamin C so it's kind of a win-win-win situation so I definitely recommend trying out fresh lime or lemon now you're probably and you're thinking I don't want to squeeze the lemons it's too much work I get that you don't actually have to juice your lemon if you have a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix or Blendtec you can just take off the skin so chop off the top the bottom and remove the skin of the lemon and toss on the whole thing seeds at all your blender will take care of it easy peasy lazy girl solution to adding lime or lemon to her smoothie tip.

No.3 A Frozen Banana: Add a frozen banana this one makes a huge difference a banana has to be the foundation piece of any smoothie that's just my opinion but a frozen banana will add creaminess to your smoothie it will add the right amount of sweetness if it's a ripe banana and it will make your drink colder and more chilled without you having to have ice in your smoothie now if you don't like banana that's okay you can add a mango mango typically works the same it's not as creamy as a banana but it can work in a pinch tip.

No.4 Some Healthy Fats: Add some healthy fats this is not so much for the taste but more about the nutrition greens tend to have vitamin A and vitamin K both of these nutrients are fat soluble which basically mean you need to eat them in the presence of fat for you to absorb them if you're interested in the science I have it in the link description below now if you're having your smoothies with out fat you're not getting the full benefits of the green so it's a really simple thing you can just add some fat such an avocado coconut milk some nut butter Chia gel you have many options I suggest you experiment and see what works best for you tip.

N0.5 More Fruit: Add more fruit now you're probably thinking the green smoothie is supposed to have more greens well yes but if you don't enjoy it you're not going to drink it so if you're struggling with the green smoothies even after trying the first four tips maybe add more fruit for now get your taste buds accustomed to the greens and then slowly and gradually add more greens a good starting point would be about 60% fruit and 40% veggies once you're used to that you can work your way up to more veggies so there you have it five tips to make green smoothies taste better for beginners.
