When you add greens to your smoothies at a ratio of about 6 parts fruit and 4 parts greens, you will enjoy faster weight loss. Your energy will skyrocket, you will crave sugary foods even less than you would with red fruits alone, and your skin, hair and nails will begin looking healthier than ever. Soon, people will start to ask you what you’ve done to make these changes! Keep up with the healthy living plan after the detox comes to an end, and the benefits will keep on coming. Smoothies that contain about 40 percent greens are higher in protein than those containing red fruits and vegetables alone. This is because greens are filled with amino acids, which are actually the building blocks that combine to cre- ate all the different proteins in your body. They are more bioavailable (easier for your body to use) than complex proteins such as the ones found in animal products like meat and dairy. When you provide your body with a wide range of plant- based foods, especially greens, you are giving it all the protein it needs! I’m not saying that you need to become a vegetarian or vegan overnight, but have you ever won- dered where herbivorous animals get the protein they need to create the meat and dairy products people eat? All of it comes from plants. Thanks to greens and their abil- ity to provide plenty of amino acids, people who follow a clean eating plan get all the protein that they need for good health.
