Easy Green Smoothie

Smoothie's have become the rage for healthy types but are they really healthy? Well, the short answer is 'yes' but it is absolutely conditional on how you make them. Firstly, the primary ingredients of your smoothie need to be vegetables. Veggies contain loads of fibre, vitamins and water and not much sugar. As such, they are not as calorie-dense as smoothies based on fruit. 

Second, you need to make the smoothie up on a low-calorie liquid like coconut water or even plain water. Adding juices or full-cream milk will send the caloric density through the roof. Of course there will be plenty of nutrition in the smoothie but from a caloric point of view, you may as well be drinking Coke. 

I am lucky to have been bought a Nutri-Bullet from mum for Xmas so expect to see a few more of these being posted. There's just something about the green smoothie that makes you feel fresh, revitalised and ready to roll! Here's a VERY basic one to get you started!

Bloke Can Cook is an all encompassing, easy-read book on nutrition for blokes. After becoming annoyed at the media-driven, public fixation with diets, Jase felt it was time to preach what he personally practices. 

This eBook outlines the basic position of men's health in the current time - we're fat, stressed and increasingly victim to many preventable, lifestyle illnesses. And rather than prescribing you a diet of fresh air and cabbage soup, Jase identifies the practical strategies you can take NOW to start feeling better - both mentally and physically.  

Buy this book if you are a bloke that cares a little about how you look and feel. Buy this book if you don't want to take your health for granted any longer. Buy this book if you've finally realised that not being able to see your penis anymore due to a protruding gut is neither healthy nor manly.
