3 Very Simple & Tasty Red & Green Christmas Smoothies





Here's our protocol: From now until the end of the year we're doing 2 smoothie fasts a week with each of those days being on Tuesday and Thursdays. You drink one of the smoothies during the day and the other in the evening. Only have 2 smoothies each of those 2 smoothie fast days and one will be red and the other green. What these smoothies and fast days will do is detox your body, facilitate fat loss, and spike your energy levels up immensely. You'll actually be shocked, if you do these Christmas Smoothie fast days right, how much energy you get. If you've been eating a lot of processed food and grain carbs for a long time your body may even feel a bit weird because of how well this works, but never fear cause that means it's doing its job.

Because Christmas Eve is on a Thursday and I'm sure you're gonna wanna eat some gooooood food we're starting on Thursday, December 10th and then for next week you can do it on Monday and Wednesday if your Christmas Eve schedule doesn't allow you to do it then. Outside of the smoothies drink at least half your bodyweight in ounces of water and then an extra 20 ounces minimum when you workout.

Ok so as promised here's the 3 Very Simple & Tasty Red and Green Christmas Smoothies.


3 Very Simple & Tasty Red Christmas Smoothies

1. Half Cup of Fresh Organic Pineapple
1/4 of a beet
1/2 leaf of kale
1/2-1 full carrot


2. 4-6 Strawberries
Small handful of spinach
1/4 Apple
1/2-1 full carrot
1/2-1 radish with root


3. 1 Whole Apple
1 Banana
1/4 of a beet
1/4 teaspoon size of fresh Ginger root
Small handful of fresh blueberries

Note 1: I use my Vitamix and it tears everything right up. Make sure you don't "over beet" LOL cause it will take over the flavor. Follow as the recipe suggests.  Nothing needs to be peeled. What I do is cut things up into easy to manage(for the blender) chunks and then blend away. :)
Note 2: Don't be alarmed if your stool is redish. The beets do this. The first time it happened to me I thought I had a problem cause it looks bloody, but be rest assured it's A-OKAY. 
Beets are amazing for detoxing the liver.
