How to eat half a pound of greens daily in just one Month

If you want to add greens to your diet in my opinion the easier way is through smoothies. I would suggest starting with 1 cup of greens in your smoothies to begin. Below you can see how you can have half a pound of greens a day in just one month.

• Week 1- Everyday for the first week add 1 cup of greens in your smoothies
• Week 2- Everyday for week two add 2 cups of greens in your smoothies
• week 3- Everyday for week three add 3 cups of greens in your smoothie
• week 4- Everyday for week four add 4 cups of greens in your smoothies.

After one month you will begin week 5 ready to have half a pound of greens daily. Starting slow and working your way up is the best way for your taste buds to adjust and acquire a better taste for all those greens.

If you want to feel a dramatic difference in your health and energy I would recommend adding a daily green smoothie into your diet. Before you know it you will be having a half pound of greens daily and feeling energized and healthy!
