Foreword From Paul Mort

First up, thanks for downloading this cool little resource.

As a dad of two with multiple business and a really busy life, I often don't have the time or the energy to get my share of fruit and vegetables in.

Like me, you're probably aware that vegetable are pretty beneficial for your health too!?

But sometimes, our busy lives just don't allow us the time or the convenience to get the good stuff in.

Thats why I love fruit and veggie smoothies

I like feeling healthy, I like having a lean body and I like never getting sick.

Making a super fast and super healthy smoothie allows me to do that.

I can get my share of vitamins, minerals and nutrients in a convenient drink, and they taste great… I've tested them all!

Even my two year old boy, Max loves em!

Anyhow, hope you enjoy the book, and enjoy the recipes.

Don't hesitate to email me if you need any help - and I'd LOVE your feedback on the taste.

Paul Mort

PS - I'd also love to here how you're feeling after just a few days of drinking these beauties

PPS - You may notice that I recommend adding Lean Greens to the drinks. This just DRASTICALLY increases your vegetable intake for the day and gets in your share of fat burning herbs, and energy increasing grasses!!

Introduction

20 Delicious Smoothie Recipes Featuring Lean Greens

For all of these smoothies, ingredients are to be blended

in the order given.

Be sure to experiment! If you like your smoothies

thinner, add more liquid or ice. If you want them thick,

add less.

Want to mix it up?

Switch your favourite fruit or vegetable for what is listed

in the recipe.

The beauty of smoothies is that you can make them out

of almost anything you like, developing your own

delicious flavour creations!

For all the recipes in the book you can add 2-3tsp’s of

Lean Greens.




Green Mango Smoothie

A quick escape to the tropics, packed with vitamins and

nutrients!

2 cups washed fresh spinach leaves

1 cup fresh or frozen mango chunks

1 cup pineapple juice

½ cup coconut milk

1/2 cup full fat natural yogurt

2-3 tsp Lean Greens




Lean Greens Ingredient - Spinach

Where to start with this BEAST?!?!

Most people kinda know that spinach is ‘good for you’ but it’s probably better than you think. Started by Popeye, there seems to be a little myth that it ‘gives you muscles’ which of course is untrue.

HOWEVER, spinach is still a bit of a bad ass of the veggie world.




Why Is Spinach Good For You?

Here’s just some of the benefits.

* Calorie for Calorie it’s one of THE top foods to have in your diet as it's low in calories and high in NUTRIENTS.

* It contains up to 13 different antioxidants and anti-cancer flavonoids!

* Can help to detoxify excess estrogen

* Can help to protect the liver from herbicides and pesticides

* KILLER bone builder, it contains 200% of your RDA of VITAMIN K - this helps the bones absorb calcium.

* It also contains a large amount of Iron Calcium, Magnesium and manganese.

* High in Vitamin C, which helps with immunity and blood pressure, amongst other health issues.

* High in Vitamin A, which stops cholesterol being oxidized and helps to fight infection

Again, there are actually more benefits to adding spinach to your diet but these are the main reasons I chose to make it one of the most prominent ingredients in the new Lean Greens blend




Carrot Cake SmoothieTastes even better than the real thing – and is way

better for you!

½ cup carrot juice

½ cup almond milk

½ cup coconut milk

1 chopped, frozen banana

½ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp nutmeg

1 tsp flax seed

2-3 tsp Lean Greens

Optional: ¼ cup chopped walnuts, ¼ cup raisins, ¼ cup

pineapple pieces




Lean Greens Ingredient - Barley Grass

Barley Grass is actually one of the first ‘green drinks’ I ever used. Both for myself and with my personal training clients.

Quite simply because it's known to contain EVERY protein, vitamin and mineral that the body needs! Insane right?

This is because at the grass stage, it's able to absorb a ton of nutrients from the earth.

Anyhow, one of my favourite things about Barley Grass is its Vitamin C content.

In fact, Barley Grass has SEVEN times the Vitamin C content of its equivalent weight in oranges!

Vitamin C is great for heart health, blood pressure, immunity and nourishing the adrenal glands.




In fact, the director of the institute of preventative medicine in Washington, DC has said that Barley grass “improves stamina, sexual energy, clarity of thought and reduces addiction to things that are bad for you. It also improves the texture of the skin.”

It also contains 11x more calcium than milk. Think about it..... where do you think cows get calcium from?

Why is Barley Grass Good For You?

Here are a few more benefits of this super grass:

* It is great for gut health as it lowers inflammation in the digestive tract.

* It helps to stimulate good bacteria in the gut.

* It helps produce HCL, which is essential for breaking down and absorbing the nutrients from food.

* It helps clear toxins from the intestines

* It’s 45% protein - great for hunger.

* It’s high in Iron.

* Very alkaline.

* Rich in chlorophyll.




Immune Booster SmoothieChock-full of Vitamin C, beta carotene, and zinc to boost

your immunity. A fabulous way to start the day in the

cold winter months.

1 cup almond milk

1 chopped, frozen banana

1 cup mango

½ cup cantaloupe

½ cup diced pineapple

¼ cup slivered almonds

2-3 tsp Lean Greens




Lean Greens Ingredient - Alfalfa

Alfalfa is kind of a ‘secret assassin’, in that not that many people know what it's all about.

In fact, the word ‘Al-fal-fa’ is Arabic for ‘father of all foods’.

Alfalfa has roots that go REALLY REALLY deep, which means they tend to absorb rare minerals that most plants can't reach.

It’s particularly high in phytochemicals that have really strong preventative effects against disease.

Like most of the ingredients in Lean Greens, it's also rich in chlorophyll - the master blood builder.




Why is Alfalfa Good For You?

Here are some more cool facts about Alfalfa:

* Known to help reduce cholesterol.

* A well thought of colon cleanser and detoxifier.

* Rich in enzymes, vitamins and minerals.

* Tremendous for digestive health.

* Contains Vitamins A, C, B1, B6, E and K!

* Recent studies also confirm that it does contain some Vitamin D too.




Dreamy Kiwi Smoothie

Refreshing and hydrating, and a fabulous shade of

green!

½ chopped, frozen banana

1 medium kiwi

½ cup coconut milk

1 cup spinach

¼ cup cucumber

2 tbsp grated fresh ginger root

2-3 tsp Lean Greens




Lean Greens Ingredient - Protease

Protease is a super enzyme that I was VERY keen to have on board in our blend.

See, any solid nutrition program will require a decent amount of protein.

But what if we can't digest it properly?

Then we waste money and time… not two things I’m a fan of.

Anyhow, Protease is an enzyme that helps with the breaking down and digestion of protein.

It's kind of a ‘super-star’ when it comes to the immune system too.

See, it helps to digest and expel parasites bacteria and fungi from the body so the immune system doesn’t get ruined.

Oh and it has the bonus of helping to reduce the risk of blood clots and helping to deal with inflammation.




Glamrock ShakeA healthy take on the overly sweet Shamrock Shake that

makes its appearance around St. Patrick’s day each

year.

1 frozen, chopped banana

¼ of an avocado

½ cup baby spinach

½ cup rice milk

2-3 drops peppermint extract (or more, to taste)

¼ tsp vanilla extract

2-3 tsp Lean Greens




Lean Greens Ingredient - Bromelain

Bromelain is THE reason that pineapple’s are so healthy as well as being delicious!

Bromelain is responsible for the break down of the amino acids found in food.

Amino acids are basically molecules that link together to form proteins but are actually found in most foods.

Bromelain is also known as a pretty potent anti-inflammatory and is great for indigestion and all round health.

It has also been used as a supplement to treat arthritis and sinus pain!

Pretty awesome huh?

We, however, chose it mainly because of its benefits on digestion, bloating and all round gut health.




Tutti-Fruitti SmoothieThe perfect blend of your favourite fruits.

1 frozen chopped banana

1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries (strawberry,

blueberry, raspberry)

¾ cup rice milk

½ cup cranberry juice

½ cup coconut milk

2-3 tsp Lean Greens




Lean Greens Ingredient - LactaseThis one kinda raised a few eyebrows with lactose intolerance being in the spotlight a little more these days...

But lactase actually HELPS with this.

Lactase is responsible for the digestion of dairy such as cheese, milk, yoghurt etc.

This enzyme decreases as we get older, hence many of us start to suffer issues when we try to eat/drink those things from cows.

Why is Lactase Good For You?Adding lactase to your diet can help with your tolerance to dairy and can also help hugely with:

* Gas

* Bloating

* Irritable Bowel Syndrome

* Bowel Inflammation




Purple People Eater Smoothie

Vitamin-rich cherries and blueberries lend their hues for

this colourful drink.


1 cup frozen strawberries and blueberries

½ cup fresh or frozen cherries

¼ cup orange juice

1/3 cup full fat natural yogurt

2-3 tsp Lean Greens




Lean Greens Ingredient - Blueberry Extract

We’d say blueberries are an ‘uber-fruit’.

Because of their thin skin, blueberries are a potent source of antioxidants and are a GREAT anti-inflammatory. In fact, one of THE best sources of both of these health saviors.

Oxidative stress and inflammation can be really degenerative to the brain in particular and is involved in almost every major illness. Alzhiemers, Parkinsons, diabetes, heart disease and even ‘less serious’ things such as arthritis and joint pain.

Blueberries are also high in Vitamin C, Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin E and Zinc.

Because we use freeze-dried blueberry powder this goodness is highly concentrated.




Why is Blueberry Extract Good For You?

As well as the above, blueberry powder has also been reported as having some of the following benefits:

* Healthy Heart Function.* Supports healthy cholesterol levels.* Promotes urinary tract health.* Encourages healthy brain function and memory.




Trail Mix Smoothie

Drink it before you go hiking, or bring it along in a

thermos. Also good for marathon sessions in the

boardroom.


1 tsp cinnamon

¼ cup coconut milk

1tsp raw organic cocoa powder

handful of almonds (about 10)

1 tbsp raisins

2-3 tsp Lean Greens




Lean Greens Ingredient - Stevia

One of the major changes in our newest blend of Lean Greens is the addition of the natural sugar alternative, Stevia.

As you can imagine with some of the other kick ass ingredients in Lean Greens, making it taste good is kinda difficult!

Stevia changes that as it tastes great.

It’s also pretty expensive, which is why the cheaper, inferior greens brands tend not to use it.




Why is Stevia Good For You?

Stevia comes from the stevia bush , which is found mainly in South America and has ZERO calories . It is THE best sugar substitute out there.

Unlike sugar and other sweeteners though, it DOESN’T cause a raise in insulin levels, meaning its ideal if you’re looking to lose weight and drop bodyfat.

In fact, it has actually been found to improve glucose and is now being used as a treatment option for diabetics.

New studies are also showing it can help lower blood pressure.




Awesome Autumn Smoothie

Cinnamon to fight inflammation + alpha & beta-carotene

rich pumpkin + superfood kale = your new autumn

favourite.

3 cups chopped kale

½ cup rice milk

1 tbsp flax seed


¼ tsp cinnamon

½ cup pumpkin

2-3 tsp Lean Greens




Lean Greens Ingredient - Broccoli

Broccoli is pretty much the PIMP of the vegetable world.You won't find many nutritionists or fitness professionals who will argue with that.

See, broccoli is UBER-DENSE (real word) in nutrients of the health variety AND has been celebrated for its cancer-fighting power the world over.

My favourite thing about broccoli is that it's full of something called ‘indole-3-carbinol’.

This super compound is bad-ass at detoxification. Particularly the detoxification of ‘bad’ estrogens.

Indole-3-carbinol can also protect the body from the carcinogenic effect of pesticides.




Why is Broccoli Powder Good For You?

Here’s some more super cool facts about this veggie superstar:

* It contains around 2g protein per cup.

* It also has 2g fiber per cup, which is great for blood sugar and satiety (feelings of ‘fullness’).

* It’s high in Vitamin C.

* Contains magnesium and calcium - VITAL for bone health.

* It was named in a list of 12 foods LEAST contaminated with pesticides.




Bahama Mama Smoothie

A mouthful of summer.

1 ½ cups diced fresh or frozen pineapple


½ cup coconut milk

½ cup pineapple or orange juice

2-3 tsp Lean Greens




Lean Greens Ingredient - Cellulase

Cellulase is another important enzyme that aids digestion HUGELY.

In a nutshell, cellulose is kinda responsible for the breakdown of the fiber found in vegetables.

BUT as we cannot produce cellulose ourselves, it's SUPER important that we get it in our guts through either food or supplementation.

Cellulase has also been shown to:

* help cholesterol levels.

* help improve blood pressure

* help to detoxify the intestinal tract

But the reason it's in Lean Greens is for the digestion of the good stuff.

After all, you're putting a lot of time, effort and money into eating better, it would be a REAL shame not to be able to digest all that goodness right?




Zing! Smoothie Ginger and cayenne give this smoothie some kick!

¾ cup carrot juice

½ medium avocado

1 tbsp lemon juice

¼ cup orange juice

1 tbsp freshly grated ginger

1 pinch of cayenne pepper (or more, to taste)

2-3 tsp Lean Greens




Lean Greens Ingredient - Blackcurrant Extract

So, blackcurrants are locked in a ‘battle’ with blueberry right now as to which one is the KING of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory foods.

As with blueberries, this makes them essential for protection from disease and almost every major illness

Well, maybe not but we just can't choose between them so put them both in our blend!




Why is Blackcurrant Extract Good For You?

Blackcurrants have high levels of Vitamin C, which is great for the immune system, fighting illness, helping with heart health and nourishing the adrenals.

Blackcurrants also contain Vitamin B and have been tested in their uses against muscular fatigue.

Improved circulation is one of the other benefits of blackcurrant extract, but like blueberries, we included them in our blend due to the incredible anti-oxidant profile and ability to protect against inflammation




Inflammation Fighter Smoothie

Sore after a workout, or suffering from arthritis? Try this

tasty and effective smoothie to soothe your aches and

pains.

1 cup kale, chopped

1 cup baby spinach

2 tbsp hemp seeds

1 tsp chia seeds

½ avocado

½ chopped, frozen banana

½ apple

1 cup coconut water

2-3 tsp Lean Greens




Lean Greens Ingredient - Wheat Grass

Wheat Grass is one of the first ingredients that we included in our blend because of its numerous health benefits.

First up, it's NOT allergenic. Meaning, people who struggle with wheat and gluten, will have no problems with it.

Secondly, if you’ve ever had wheatgrass on its own, you’ll know we DEFINITELY haven’t included wheatgrass for its taste!

Wheatgrass is a nutrient RICH young grass that is HIGHLY concentrated in powder form.




It is considered by many nutritionists to be the ‘perfect food’, mainly because it contains 90, yes that’s NINETY, minerals including phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, potassium, chromium, selenium, iron and zinc.

It’s also rich in over 30 different enzymes, which aid digestion and can kill bad bacteria in the gut.

It’s rich in chlorophyll, which means it’s a great blood builder, which in turn will increase energy and immunity to illness.

Just one ounce of wheatgrass is said to have the same vitamin and mineral profile as TWO POUNDS of vegetables.

Wowsers!

Why is Wheatgrass Good For You?

The other features (yes, there’s more) of wheatgrass include:

* Known as a blood purifier as well as a liver, kidney and urinary tract cleanser

* Has a greater percentage of protein than EGGS.

* Rammed with Vitamin C, K, E and A.

* Helps to remove toxic metals from the cells.




* Helps to cleanse the Lymph system.

Minty Melon Smoothie

A fabulous drink for September, when honeydew is in

season. Like drinking the last bits of summer as autumn

approaches.

2 cups diced honeydew melon

1 cup chopped seedless cucumber

Good handful of fresh mint leaves (10-12)

3 tsp lime juice

2-3 tsp Lean Greens




Lean Greens Ingredient - Carrot Powder

Carrots can help you see in the dark right?

Well, not really but it is true they’re good for your eye-sight as they’re a great source of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are both great at protecting the eyes against degeneration and cataracts.

Way more than just ‘good for your eyes’ though.

Carrots are actually credited with a bunch of other health benefits due to their high levels of carotene- which the body converts into vitamin A.

Carrots can also be accredited with being beneficial for the liver.




Why is Carrot Powder Good For You?

Some of the other benefits associated with this ‘dark horse’ are:

* Thought to be anti-anemic.

* Said to be a great ‘cleanser’ of the intestines

* Great alkalinity, helping to ‘purify’ and revitalize the blood

* Can help with the combat of various illnesses due to its high level of anti-oxidant compounds.




Rock-oli Smoothie

With 135% of your daily Vitamin C per serving, broccoli

certainly packs a nutritional punch! Try it in this fabulous

veggie-based smoothie.

1/2 head broccoli

1 cup parsley (fresh)

1 avocado

2 frozen, chopped bananas

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 ½ cups rice milk

2-3 tsp Lean Greens




Lean Greens Ingredient - Lipase

Lipase is the enzyme that is responsible for the break down of fats.

VERY important for weight management, it is also plays a key role in metabolizing sugar.

Interestingly lipase is found to be very low in obese people and people that have gained weight.

People with gut issues such as Crohn’s and Celiac disease are also found to have a lipase deficiency.

It is abundant in raw butter and has been used as a treatment for psoriasis.

Lipase is also effective against viruses as it has been proven to be able to digest the wall of viruses - nice!

A very effective enzyme that can help with a number of different issues – I think you’ll agree!




Super Green Smoothie

Get your day off to a great start with this delicious

breakfast alternative

1 avocado

1/2 a small cucumber

2 sticks of celery

1 big handful of spinach

1/2 a banana

1tsp cinnamon

2-3 tsp Lean Greens

Coconut Water

Ice




Lean Greens Ingredient - Chlorella

We included Chlorella in the blend because of its unique ability as an incredibly potent detoxification plant. Particularly at detoxifying and expelling harmful heavy metals such as mercury from the body.

Chlorella is a green-algae that is grown in lakes and ponds and is SUPER rich in blood-building chlorophyll, in fact chlorella contains more chlorophyll than any other plant.

It also contains some essential fatty acids, 20% of which are Omega 3.

It is made up of 60% easily digested protein and has been intensely studied for its cancer-preventing properties.




Why is Chlorella Good For You?

These killer features explain some of the reported and studied benefits below:

* Shown to reduce body-fat percentage.

* Shown to reduce blood-glucose levels and help those suffering from Type 2 diabetes, obesity or heart disease.

* Boosts energy.

* Aids digestion and fights depression.




Green Tea Smoothie

Full of antioxidants, cool, and refreshing. Fabulous for

lounging in the summer sun.

1 cup chilled green tea

½ cup coconut milk

¼ cup chopped mango (fresh or frozen)

2-3 tsp Lean Greens




Lean Greens Ingredient - Green Tea Extract

So we know about green tea right?

And its fat burning properties?

Seems we’re all aware of how good it is for us but WHY is it so good for us?

First up let's look at some of the more surprising benefits of green tea that have been researched, ones that aren’t talked about so much.

* Boosts your energy* Lowers cholesterol* Strengthens bones* Aids in weight loss* Improves memory* Prevents cancer* Maintains health* Heals lung damage* Protects the liver* Helps to detoxify excess estrogen

So, as you can see, green tea is a power house for health. It’s an absolute mutant when it comes to the health benefits that it’s got around it and we’re going to look at why now.




So what makes it so good?

Polyphenol – A Form Of Antioxidant

Most types of tea have this in; it’s a form of antioxidant. Antioxidants, basically if you don’t know what they are, help prevent or they help fight against the damage caused by free radicals, which can damage cells, which in turn can lead to long term health issues. Most of the reasons around long term health issues are damaged cells.

Specifically with green tea, the polyphenols that we’re looking at are called catechins.

Specifically in those catechins is something called EGCG polyphenols. This is actually accepted right across the board with any cancer organisations, anyone that looks at it, that all of the studies prove that due to these antioxidants they’re anti-cancerous.

Green Tea For Burning Fat

So here’s the deal:

Green tea oxidises fat, basically it means that it helps you metabolise this fat from the fat cells and transport it so you can use it as energy especially during exercise, which is super cool so drinking Lean Greens before a workout is actually super beneficial as well.




Greenacolada

Just add a little umbrella, and pretend you are on the beach!

150g Fresh Pineapple

2 tbsp Coconut Cream

2-3 tsp Lean Greens

Ice cubes




Lean Greens Ingredient - Spirulina

Spirulina is one of the more ‘mysterious’ ingredients in Lean Greens but one that is a GREAT addition.

Known as a kinda ‘hippy food’ due to the likes of Gillian McKeith being fans of it, it is actually an exceptional ‘super food’.

If you’ve ever had it on its own, you’ll know that we certainly didn’t add spirulina to our blend for its taste. Its rank!

Spirulina is what’s called a ‘microalgae’.

Microalgae are super-cool as they are right on the edge of ‘vegetable’ and ‘animal’, so you pretty much get the best of both worlds in the nutritional galaxy!




Very dark green in colour, spirulina is rich in chlorophyll, which has many benefits.

One of which is the ability to increase the amount of oxygen in our blood, which in turn increases energy.

The better our blood, the better our health.

One of our favourite things about spirulina is its amino acid profile.

Spirulina is 70% protein and contains 18 amino acids. 8 of which are essential aminos.

This could be one of the reasons why spirulina seems to really help with hunger.

Spirulina also:

* contains GLA- Which is anti-inflammatory and helps regulate metabolic rate.

* is beneficial to brain health and can help with allergies.

* is another great detoxifier, particularly effective with detoxing mercury.

* is known for its liver protecting properties.

* contains Iodine- essential for thyroid health.

* is full of easy to digest Iron.

* has the same amount of bone building calcium and magnesium as milk.




Chocolate Smoothie

Chocolate cravings? Not any more!

1/2 avocado

1tsp raw organic cocoa powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 cup almond milk

2-3 tsp Lean Greens

Ice




Lean Greens Ingredient - Amylase

Amylase is another really important digestive enzyme.

It’s known for its role in starting the ‘pre-digestion’ of carbohydrates.

One of the interesting things about amylase is that it actually decreases as you get older.

Kinda explains how we could eat more carbs such as pasta, bread, cereal and pizza when we were kids, right?

We could even eat them without our stomachs BALLOONING in size within an hour.

Amylase helps to combat indigestion and heartburn and can also be effective in curbing appetite.




Watermelon Shake

A lovely spicy summer shake

2 cups watermelon

1 tsp grated root ginger

2-3 tsp Lean Greens

Ice




Lean Greens Ingredient - Siberian Ginseng

Siberian Ginseng has been used for CENTURIES in eastern countries. Particularly China and Russia.

They use it mainly for its impact at boosting and protecting the immune system, particularly against colds and flu.

We like this too. You can’t exercise if you’re sick right?

However, the reason we added this to our blend is because it has been shown to increase energy and improve mental alertness.

Kinda like caffeine without the jitters!

It’s also been used as an ‘adaptogenic’ herb. Meaning it can help improve the body’s ability to deal with stress.




Particularly useful with the stress hormone cortisol, which if produced excessively can lead to numerous health issues.

Why is Siberian Ginseng Extract Good For You?

Here are a few more reasons this ‘booster’ herb is in our Lean Greens blend:

* Has been shown to have an anti-depressant effect.

* Can aid with the detoxification of waste minerals AND poisons.

* Proven to improve the condition known as ‘herpes’- that could just mean a simple cold-sore.

* New studies are showing it can help to improve insulin sensitivity.

* Can be an effective anti-inflammatory.

* Has been used to increase Libido.
