By consuming a green smoothie, you are blending the greens- which in essence is “predigesting” the greens. Many of the important nutrients in greens are encased inside the plants cells and getting their benefits requires these cell walls to be ruptured. So blending allows these foods to be ingested as a whole vegetable with their fiber in tact (as opposed to juicing), so you feel full and are able to absorb the maximum amount of nutrition from your greens.
So go ahead and GET YOUR GREEN ON PEOPLE.
