So many of us are fatigued or ‘running on empty’ giving little thought to the toll this takes on our bodies and in particular our digestive system. Digesting food and its nutrients requires energy from the body to break it down. For those who are exhausted or suffering from ill-health the need to conserve or re-direct energy elsewhere is paramount: so I found that having a smoothie for breakfast every morning is a gentle way for the body to start the day.
The Body Ecology Diet was created by Donna Gates and is now embraced by many doctors worldwide; it offers a “revolutionary system of healing in response to the major deficiencies in medicine and the commonplace approach to treating symptoms while ignoring root causes”.

Thank you so much for this recipe! I modified them a little by using almond milk and upping the amount of flax seeds – they tasted amazing! You’ve caused me to get hooked on green smoothies. I feel so much better after I drink them – full of energy and life, which is more than I can say about the feeling cereal gives me.
