Smoothie Time!

This weekend I tried out two different smoothies. Smoothies, especially the green ones, are all over the media and everyone seems to be overwhelmed to have finally found the secret of clean eating, detoxing and weight loss. So far so good. But like every diet-secret there are not only positive effects. I tried to drink smoothies for two days. The first day I made a smoothie out of pineapple, kiwis, berries and ginger. I chose a mixture out of fruits to get used to drinking and not eating the whole day and still feel full and nourished.

My experience:

Day 1 was really amazing, I had a lot of energy, did not feel hungry and was at best mood.
Day 2 was okay, my smoothie consisted of green veggies -except for the kiwis again, to get some sweet and sour taste as well- and I actually felt quite good during the day but in the evening I got really hungry and felt dizzy including the worst headache.
So the conclusion I can draw from this experiment is that one day of drinking smoothies with a higher % of fruits than vegetables is a very good experience and I am definitely going to repeat that, but next time I will renounce day 2 :)
