Day 1 of 30 day smoothie challenge


Good Morning beauties. Day 1 of my challenge is starting off well. If you would like to participate all you have to do is consume atleast 1 raw vegan smoothie a day. No need to change anything else in your routines and rituals. Just add this miracle drink to your day and allow the changes to happen to your body naturally. Todays smoothie consists of: Bananas, guavas and spinach.


The ratio is about 60% fruit and 40% leafy greens. This ratio is perfect for me. The sweet fruit masks the bitterness of the greens and my body sings with joy every time I have one.

You can use any fruit and greens combination you want. We are in Autum now in South Africa so the recipes I use will differ to where you are.
Please share your recipe with me. Id love to know how you are doing.
Benefits of Green smoothies:

-Living nutrients are flooding your body.

-Easy to digest and assimilate. Blending ruptures the cell walls and so the nutrients are absorbed quicky. It may be why your mood changes instantly :)

- A molecule of chlorophyll closely resembles a molecule of human blood. According to teachings of Dr. Ann Wigmore, "consuming chlorophyll is like receiving a healthy blood transfusion". Many people do not consume enough greens, even those who stay on a raw food diet. By drinking two or three cups of green smoothies daily you will consume enough greens for the day to nourish your body, and all of the beneficial nutrients will be well assimilated.

-Your colon will get a much needed scrub. the fibre in the fruits are soft and gentle on your intestines and sweep your colon clean. A misconception of people practicing this for the first time is that they experience constipation in the first day or two. This is due to the natural bulk fibre that the body needs to adjust to. in no time, the cleaning will accelerate and you may be amazed as to how much junk is stored in your body.

-reduced cravings of junk - our body craves because we starve it if living nutrients. a smoothie a day will cut your cravings for artificial sweet junk.

-more energy

-light detox

-clearer skin.

If you are experiencing other wonderful benefits please let me know. Happy tuesday :)
