Take The Green Smoothie Challenge

green smoothie Smoothies have long been a favourite of weight-loss and nutrition programs with good reason. By blending your food before eating, you are making it considerably easier on your body to digest and absorb the nutrients in it. Blending is even more beneficial when it comes to raw fruits and vegetables because they typically are more difficult to breakdown and digest in your stomach, so blending them really gives your body a big nutritional and digestive boost.

If you've been reluctant to try making smoothies and you need a push, you could try the 14-day Green Smoothie Challenge. Created by Australian wellness educator Anand Wells, signing up for the Green Smoothie Challenge will deliver some delicious smoothie recipes right to your inbox.

While blending vegetables and fruit together may take some getting used to, everyone that I know of who has made smoothies a part of their daily diet has lost weight and seen an increase in energy and a boost in overall health.

Here's a great video done by 'OrganicLivingLife' who has taken the Green Smoothie Challenge and done a video showing her preparation / making of her morning green smoothie.

I have a low thyroid and have been trying to eat more to bring up my metabolism. while this sounds very beneficial I don't think this is probably what I should be doing because it won't aid in raising my metabolism - although it will help in other areas. Your thoughts please.
