Green smoothies offer so much more than conventional juicing . . .  like soluble fiber which is vital for a well-functioning digestive system. The reward of accessing photochemicals with beneficial soluble fiber is two-fold. According to Dr. Wu, it can help get rid of arterial plaque and also correct blood sugar imbalances. Click here to read. Dr. Tom Wu's article which explains how phytochemicals work within cells to prevent cancer and this doesn't happen with juicing -- only with whole foods blending using a commercial hi-speed blender. This is key information!

We use the term whole food blending to describe how we make Green Smoothies with a Waring Xtreme Commercial Blender. Basically, the difference between juicing and whole food blending is that we purposely include the peel, core and seeds in fruits like apples or pears where the vital nutrients are stored. And the leafy greens typically include Swiss chard, spinach, dandelion, kale or collard greens. The reason that the Green Smoothies are so nutritious is that the 3.5 HP commercial blender has the power to break down the cell membrane structure of leafy greens to release their valuable nutrients. Again, the importance of having the hi-speed blender as endorsed by Dr. Wu is highly emphasized.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF GREEN SMOOTHIES

Research has shown that most people simply do not have enough "greens" in their diet to promote good health. The dark leafy greens are full of valuable vitamins and minerals and blood-building chlorophyll and Vitamin K. When we increase our raw food intake we become "energized". With 95% of drinks being just fruits and vegetables (the remaining 5% could include a healthy oil or sprouted flaxseed), our smoothies are also highly alkalizing. Healthy blood has a pH of 7.36 (slightly alkalinic).

It's so nice to know that there is a growing movement of people who are pursuing the benefits of live enzyme food. Many people are taking charge of their health by investing in commercial blenders as well. Perhaps you've noticed the growing "movement" in southwestern Ontario -- take note of how many raw food chefs there are out there advertising their classes to help people to prepare some amazing raw food dishes. Monthly potlucks held in the community are other examples.

One's choice of blender is absolutely critical in order to achieve the highest level of micronutrients possible. It has to be a Waring Xtreme Commercial blender because of the motor size of 3.5 HP as well as the 45,000 RPMs. Does it make sense to go to the trouble and expense of shopping for dark leafy greens and organic produce and whirling away twice a week if you aren't able to extract a high amount of nutrients?
