When it comes to our diet, smoothies aren't exactly the first thing that comes to mind when we think about eating healthy. But I'm not talking about chocolate or vanilla smoothies... I'm talking about an all natural, extremely healthy smoothie that is made from greens and other organic products.

Green Smoothies are great, and they are a lot easier than juicing. Many people that start the vegan diet use smoothies as an introduction to the diet. However, green smoothies are great to add to any diet, and as long as you avoid using processed foods, they will provide your body with a wealth of vitamins and minerals that your body needs to function at its best ability.

If you want to add smoothies to your diet purely for health reasons, it is strongly recommended that you make them yourself, and not buy smoothies at restaurants or coffee shops. Generally when these types of businesses make smoothies, they make them for the sole purpose of taste. There are plenty of other ingredients in those smoothies that are not healthy for your body, and in some cases can become detrimental to your health.

Green Smoothies can taste great and you don't need to add any artificial sweeteners. By simply adding any fruit of your choice, you can make it taste sweet. Adding fruit will also give it the creamy feeling that you get when you add milk, without the dairy! Fruits contain soluble fibers, and the best fruits to add to your smoothies are:

1. Pears
2. Bananas
3. Kiwi
4. All Berries
