Green drinks, they don't sound very good, they don't look very good and they don't even taste very good, but oh, theyare so good for you! Green drinks are concentrated, powdered vegetables. We all know that leafy green vegetables are important for us to eat, but not many of us actually consume the recommended daily amount: one half of our food, bysight not by weight, should be vegetables. Most green drinks provide 5-10 servings o fvegetables in one serving.So in one drink, you can be assured you are getting your veggies. At our house, we try to take our green drink in the morning, chugging it down with a bit of lemonade.At first it was alittle scary, mostly because it seemed unnatural to drink something that color. After a few weeks, they almost taste good. I can't eat a salad for breakfast, but I don't mind drinking one!

My favorite green drinks are: Greens first,Nano Greens, Earth'sPromise and Garden of Life. The first two usually need to be purchased from a chiropractor or distributor, the last two can be found at Vitamin Cottage and other local health food stores.They costl ess than $10 a month for one person, except for Garden of Life, which costs a bit more.

My youngest wasn't eating green vegetables, was often sick, small, and didn't have much energy. She has been taking green drinks for almost a year. In that time we have noticed that she has grown 4 or 5 inches, her hair has grown faster than ever and has gotten thicker, and her skin color, muscle mass and energy have noticeably improved. Now all my kids are on the drinks and have noticed increased energy and strength. I highly recommend them, green drinks are worth getting used to!
