Raw Meal Smoothies

The purpose of this post is to list a food grouping for making a Raw Meal Smoothie for a specific health issue. There are many foods that can be used, but for simplicity, one smoothie recipe is listed for each of these problems in order to help you have a quick reference and to get started.  Raw Meal Smoothies are filling and should be used as meal replacement.  A great companion to these is daily Detox Waters.  The smoothie builds your health and focuses specific nutrition for a health problem while the Detox Waters cleanse, nourish, and detoxify the tissues throughout the day. See the post Detox Waters for recipes that best meet your needs.

Each recipe below can be prepared using some or all of the ingredients in the list.  For variety, pick and choose from the list but consistently eat these foods in any form every day.  If garlic for example doesn’t set will with you in a smoothie, you can still get it daily by cooking with it.  If you do not prefer bananas or avocados in your smoothies, they can be used as a side dish with any meal.  A smoothie helps us achieve a volume of foods to set the day and most find it convenient and quick in our fast paced world.
