The Live Green Smoothie Diet

I love vanilla, and I’m also always on the lookout for new ways to enjoy fresh aloe very gel because of it’s “miracle superfood” reputation… I just never thought the two would go so nicely together! Turns out, they make quite a lovely pair.

This smoothie is light and for the vanilla purist. It’s refreshing, you can make it sweet or less-so, you can make it with banana instead of raw cane sugar or raw honey, if you prefer. But however you choose to sweeten it, you’ll get a long-lasting blast of energy from the polysaccharide-rich aloe vera gel, not to mention the soothing, alkalizing, anti-inflammatory properties that so many rave about.

And when I’m popping aloe into a smoothie, I also make sure I put some of the fresh gel on my face and neck for a quick little facial.

A superfood smoothie especially great for kids and for those new to raw smoothies, in general. This smoothie is green, made with the superfood blue green algae and an assortment of fresh, sweet fruits, and tastes like a fruity shake!

You can actually use this recipe to make a green smoothie when you don’t have any fresh, live greens in your fridge… just keep some high-quality “super-greens” powder of some kind on hand! Make sure it’s been prepared with care, with low temperatures to preserve the nutrients and enzymes in the greens. And if you can, make it one of the Micro Algaes…marine phytoplankton, spirulina, or blue-green algae.

The Health Benefits of Blue-Green Algae

Blue Green Algae is one of the best micro algae (marine phytoplankton and spirulina being also on that list). It’s wild-crafted and therefore organic, it’s clean, high in antioxidants, extremely rich in minerals, and has a higher concentration of beta carotene than broccoli. Blue Green Algae also contains between 60 and 70% protein, and provides all of the essential amino acids.

It’s a great energy booster, satisfies nutritionally without lots of calories (so helpful with weight loss), is reported by many to have a potent effect on enhancing concentration and the ability to focus, and is great for managing free radicals in the body and strengthening the hair, skin, and nails.

It’s easy to digest and great for kids, and in a small quantity, or when consume straight-away, doesn’t have any “algae” taste whatsoever. I tend to keep a jar of Blue Green Algae on hand all the time… for when I run out of to marine phytoplankton, my personal fave as far as the micro algae go.
