A green smoothie/ green juice is possibly the best gift nature has to offer in a glass. I know a green smoothie doesn't exactly sound appetizing. But mostly it's about getting used to drinking something green. To a certain degree it's also an acquired taste. But so is alcohol. And you didn't let it's bad taste stop you, did you now? What's more, unlike alcohol, this green cocktail has some seriously awesome health benefits.
Green smoothies taste a heck of a lot better than they look. With the right recipe, which means you get the ratios of vegetables to fruit just right, you'll barely taste the vegetables in your juice at all. Generally the fruit taste dominates the flavor of the drink, while the greens balance out the fruit's sweetness, adding nice bit of zest. For example, if you've added apples and lemons, that'll be the overriding taste of your green drink. And for those of you who've tried a shot of wheatgrass juice – don't use it as an indicator! Green smoothies and green juices taste absolutely nothing like it.
For those of you who need a little validation, Iron Man, Monk (the detective) and Popeye are fans of the green stuff. Who knows, maybe the Green Lantern likes it too. Other than superheroes, a few mortals have also cottoned on to the benefits of green drinks. Gisele Bunchen, Miranda Kerr, Nicole Richie, Olivia Wilde, Fergie, Amanda Seyfried, Eva Longoria, Drew Barrymore, Hillary Duff and Vanessa Hudgens are just some of Hollywood's green smoothie devotees. And there are some pretty all-right-looking and well-known guys who enjoy a green juice: Vince Vaughn, Channing Tatum, Owen Wilson, Josh Duhamel and Ryan Seacrest to name a few. So why do a boat load of famous face seem to love a green drink?
