Using Your Vegetables to Make Smoothies
When you have a successful raised garden bed, you may find that you have more Vegetables than you know what to do with. While you are looking through your produce, you want to make sure that you find ways to use all of the plants that have grown successfully in your raised garden bed. As you are looking through the different plants, you may need to get creative with the fruits of your labor.
It can be easy to let things go bad, simply because you do not remember that they are there or that they are close to going bad. While you are looking through your options, you should be sure that you take advantage of making smoothies. Smoothies can be a great way to use the majority of fruits and Vegetables that you have planted successfully. When you are looking into the different smoothies that you can make, you should be sure that you understand the health benefit of smoothies. Smoothies can be a great way to get raw fruits and Vegetables into your body and provide you with the nutrients that you know you will need. When you start making smoothies, you may not think of adding a lot of Vegetables to the smoothie that you are making. Vegetables may not be traditional for a smoothie, but when you are growing Vegetables you may want to start using them for your smoothies consistently. The Vegetables that you are using can make a huge difference in the nutritional value of the smoothies that you make. When you choose to put some Vegetables into your smoothies, you will find that you can do so without altering the taste of your smoothie significantly.
A great vegetable to start with is spinach. There are many people that add a handful of spinach to their smoothie every day to ensure they are getting the nutritional value of the spinach in the smoothie that they are making for themselves. When you add spinach to a smoothie, you will definitely see a difference in the color of the smoothie. The smoothie may not be as bright and vibrant, but the taste of the smoothie will not be altered significantly. While you are drinking your smoothies consistently, you can also start adding other greens that may be growing in your raised garden bed. There are a wide variety of Vegetables that you can use in the smoothies and you want to make sure that you add them as you can. Doing trial runs with each of your green ingredients can be a great way to find the greens that you can handle in your smoothie. You may surprise yourself with the number of Vegetables you are able to get in throughout the time that you are drinking smoothies. It is important that you know how you are going to drink your smoothies consistently, if you want to get the nutritional benefit of eating those vegetables. Drink your green smoothies regularly and you may start to feel a difference.
How do you make your Vegetables?
I’ll have to try these with the spinach I grow for sure! Thanks!
I never tried a smoothe with veggies I am not sure if I would like it but Worth a try and easy to make
Looks so easy thanks for the info!
I have been doing smoothies for a long time now and just am starting to add spinach to my smoothies. It’s hard to overcome the fact that I’m drinking spinach but it really doesn’t change the taste of the smoothies like you said! I think it would just be easier for me to drink them if someone else made them and handed them to me so I didn’t know what was in it! Haha!
I’m always looking for ways to “sneak the healthy stuff in” for my two sons. Thinking this just might work. veggies disguised by fruit in a smoothie. Crafty. I like it. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Love this idea!
I am always hesitant to put veggies in my smoothies. I have added carrots and beets, but no greens. I enjoyed reading this and I really want to start incorporating more greens into my smoothies!! Thank you so much for sharing all your ideas with us!
I have heard it is healthier to eat, rather than drink your vegies. That it is better on digestion and how your system works to break it down. I’m curious about juicing but I am not sure I would like it and the machine I bought would just become another “shelf sitter” How do you get into the habit?
I actually love using spinach in my smoothies!!
i have never tried one of these but i hear they are a very healthy drink!
The drink is cute but I’ve never had a vegetable smoothie
i was curious have you always been a vegatarian? if not can you tell me, did you see alot of difference in your body becoming a vegan? i eat meat but could take it or leave it, i have health issues and wonder if changing eatting habbits would help me?
I’ve been wanting to try juicing for a while but I am so afraid that I won’t like it. I love veggies though guess it’s just a mental block. And up until about a year ago I had never heard of Celiacs Disease. It seems so common now. Thank you for your informative Blogs, they help people like me learn new ways of life.
I am just starting to get into green smoothies. It’s crazy how many good things you can put into your smoothie to up your veggie intake! My son even drinks them. Thanks for all the good info!
