Banana and parsley smoothie. Green smoothie
Hello, dear healthy smoothie lovers!
I included only two main ingredients in my drink, but what ones! Cucumber is 95% water, and parsley is rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Parsley, like other greens, will help cleanse your liver of toxins. This amazing combination of benefits and freshness will not leave anyone indifferent.
I flavored this smoothie a little with spices, which made it a little more piquant and original. Everyone has long known about the wonderful properties of red pepper. The components that make up it actively break down fats accumulated by the body, and metabolism accelerates.
This drink perfectly quenches thirst and calms the feeling of hunger, relieves fatigue that has accumulated over a long active day.
Ingredients
(for one glass)
- 1 bunch of parsley
- 2 cucumbers
- a few lettuce leaves (optional)
- a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper
- a pinch of ground coriander
How to cook
- First of all, wash the cucumbers. If you wish, you can cut off the skin, but I did not do this, since it is in it that the main accumulation of vitamins and microelements is located. Therefore, if the peel does not taste bitter, then I see no point in getting rid of it in vain. The bitterness itself is mainly located in the “butt” of the cucumber, so you can only cut off this part.
- Cut the cucumber into arbitrary pieces. There is no point in grinding it too much, since cucumbers can easily be crushed in any blender.
- I throw this particular component into the blender first, since cucumbers are quite watery and after blending they provide the liquid needed for a smoothie.
- Rinse the parsley well with water, repeating this procedure several times. Then blot up any excess drops with a paper towel. If you have a powerful blender, then you can throw the parsley into the bowl directly with the sprigs. Otherwise, you can separate the parsley leaves or chop it with a knife to make it easier to grind. So, add parsley to the cucumber mixture, add a pinch of ground coriander, turn on the blender at full power and beat the mixture for about 1 minute.
- At the very end of preparing this smoothie, I decided to add more greens and threw a few green salad leaves into the half-finished drink. The taste of the smoothie has remained virtually unchanged, but my drink has become an order of magnitude healthier. If desired, you can add any sweet and sour fruit, such as apples, to the cocktail.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass container, garnish with herbs, and sprinkle with ground red pepper.
I wish you health, energy and good mood!

By the way, you can read about the benefits of green smoothies in the article
In general, green food lovers are like a sect. Once you try it and feel all the lightness, you can’t stop. And you know for sure that there is no turning back. But this path is not easy, sometimes it is very complicated and is accompanied by ups and downs, when you take one step forward and two steps back. But at the same time, you know for sure that you are on the right path and consider every day as an opportunity to become better. After all, what kind of food we eat is only the tip of the iceberg; in fact, everything is much deeper and through the harmonization of nutrition, the harmonization of one’s own personality partially occurs.
Today we will prepare a wonderful detox smoothie from wheat sprouts, celery, dill and parsley. Thus, let's consume a lot of greens at once, giving our beloved body all the nutrients. Eating right is that simple. And how little time it takes to prepare such a delicious dish. Isn’t it much better to prepare such a smoothie in a couple of minutes than to stand at the stove for a whole hour and fry cutlets? And then it’s fun to wash off all the fat from the walls that flies from these cutlets in different directions (and the worst thing is that it settles inside our bodies, and from there it’s not as easy to remove as from the walls).
So the composition of a green smoothie:
wheat sprouts
Celery
Parsley
This is a typical green smoothie and it also has a herbal taste, so be prepared for that. But if you like it sweeter, then add dates. Today I wanted exactly this - an herbal smoothie. Therefore, “voila”.
How to prepare a green smoothie:
- First you need to take care to germinate the wheat. It germinates 1.5-2 days before the first shoots appear.
- When the wheat sprouts appear, take it, put it in a blender bowl, add celery, dill and parsley and beat thoroughly with water. The amount of water depends on the desired thickness. If you want it thicker, add less water.
That’s all, actually, our delicious, healthy smoothie is ready!
Friends, I specifically do not indicate the number of ingredients - live food is different in that it is very difficult to indicate their quantity. You can do everything to your liking. Some people don't really like celery, but they like dill - please put more dill and less celery in your smoothie! In general, everyone can adjust the amount of ingredients to suit their taste.
