Autoimmune Recipes: 20 Delicious Healthy Green Smoothie Recipes

Introduction

1. Introduction

The problem with the AIP Autoimmune Paleo Diet is the large amount of green veggies and fruit you have to eat. Not liking veggies so much I fell upon the solution of blending them with fruits to get my daily requirements in a tasty, nutritious and healthy way.

The AIP diet suggests about 3 servings of fruit per day (3 cups chopped) and lots of green veggies, so I would suggest 1 smoothie per day with mostly fruit and 1 green drink per day with mostly green veggies.

That adds up to more than half of your required fruit and veggies in 2 healthy, tasty, beneficial drinks. I don’t know about you but I can’t stand eating all those veggies every day, so 2 green drinks make it a lot easier.

2. Smoothie Blending Guidelines

When blending your green and fruit smoothies follow these guidelines for the smoothest, lump free smoothies.

1/ Start by blending the fruit ingredients first with ½ to 2/3 of the water to make the base.

2/ Then start adding the green leafy vegetables, and blend up until smooth.

3/ Use a ratio of about 50% fruits to 50% green vegetables to get enough sweetness while gaining maximum nutritional value.

Don’t be afraid to vary recipes for your particular taste. If it doesn’t taste good then you won’t stick to it right?

Another good tip is if you find the green smoothies are never sweet enough for your palette then try adding 1/3 coconut water to replace 1/3 of the water ratio.

Remember by blending your fruit and veggies raw you get many times more nutritional value straight to your body rather than cooking them.
