When my friends find out that I eat lots of raw green vegetables, the first reaction is always: Yuks, how do you eat that? Can that be eaten raw?
Well, yes, you can definitely eat the greens raw. They are so much more nutritious than the cooked greens. You just need to figure out how to make it nice and tasty so that you will be eating it everyday without feeling yucky.
How I make my green smoothies?
Below is my favorite:
1 bunch of spinach (or any greens eg bok choy, choy sum, kale)
1 japanese cucumber (with peel)
1 tomato (cut into quarter)
1 apple (peel, cored and cut into slices)
Dump everything into my blender (I'm using Vitamix and I love it coz it makes blending so much easier, but the normal blender would do well if you split up the ingredients and chop them into tiny pieces), with the tomato and apple at the bottom, then blend everything up. Sometimes I add a little bit of water just to make them blend easier and a few dates to make it sweeter. Then pour into a big glass and there, its ready! I enjoy the greenish yet delicious smoothies everyday as my breakfast in addition to other fruits.
Guidelines for consuming green is:
1. alternate the type of greens, don't stick to one type for too long
2. buy organic. Organic has much more nutrients than the commercially grown vegetables, besides, you don't have to worry about the pesticide/herbicide etc
