      INTRODUCTION

      If you are seeking out Paleo green smoothies, you may already be living the Paleo lifestyle. On the other hand, you may have heard about the Paleo diet but are not quite sure what it is. If you fall into this group, here’s the basic idea: Those who follow this diet eat very clean and simple foods, eliminating grains, refined sugar, dairy, and legumes.

      It is the oldest diet in the world. The Paleo lifestyle takes us back to our ancestors in the Paleolithic era, when humans hunted and gathered their food. Fish were caught, not farmed. Berries, nuts, and plants were foraged in their natural state. The simplicity and honesty of this food produced bodies free of inflammation.

      Ridding your body of toxins found in many of the foods in the Standard American Diet (SAD) will lead to increased energy and stamina, better sleep, clearer skin, and sharper focus. The pain from arthritis and swollen joints in your body due to these inflammatory foods can be reduced or even eliminated. Your muscle growth and fitness levels will increase. Blood sugar levels will stabilize, resulting in reduced mood swings. These are just a few of the benefits you’ll experience. Only good effects can come to those who choose to eat real foods free of additives, substances that have no place in the human body.

      So how did the caveman get his hands on a blender and make green smoothies? Well, unless you intend to live in a cave with no technological advances, you’ll have to adapt to modern-day Paleo. These days, to find produce and meats you only need to make a trip to the grocery store, butcher, or farmers’ market. Choose local, in-season, organic produce as much as possible. You can grow veggies, fruits, and herbs in your home garden or even in pots on your deck. A lot of people don’t have the time or inclination to hunt, so choose local farms that raise grass-fed, free-range animals. When you purchase a whole or half animal you can usually get a great price. The farmer will even break it down and neatly package the parts for you. Another tip is to become friends with the butcher. You’re more likely to get the freshest cuts, special orders, and a little extra thrown in just for you.

      Today’s world is dominated by fast-food convenience. Everywhere you turn, there are reasons to eat chemically enhanced, preservative-ridden meals. We as a society no longer consume real foods but food-like substances. Granted, they are in pretty packages and use a lot of healthy buzzwords, but look at the ingredient lists. Go on! I double-dog dare you. Have you looked at one of those lists lately? It’s scary. It’s deplorable. It’s SAD (pun intended).

      Enter green smoothies. They are portable, easy to make, and can be hearty and filling. Smoothies are the new fast food. They are a quick way to get a shot of nutrients, minerals, and enzymes into your system. How often do we fill our plates with greens, carrots, blueberries, and the like? The answer for most is sometimes—or you may only consume one or two of these with your meal. Green smoothies allow you to blend multiple nutritional power foods together before heading out on the road for your myriad of errands. They are a wholesome alternative to fast food and honestly, they are just delicious. Embrace your inner hippie and just taste the health. Those happy place endorphins will be running through your body ready to help you conquer your world.

      In Part 2 of this book, you’ll find 150 easy-to-follow, simple-to-prepare Paleo green smoothie recipes, along with nutritional information on the produce used. Isn’t it time to take responsibility for your health and live the best life possible? Yes it is . . . and yes, you’re worth it!

      PART 1

      Paleo Green Smoothies 101

      CHAPTER 1

      What Is Paleo?

      The Paleolithic diet or Paleo has become increasingly popular. Also known as the Caveman Diet, it takes its name from a time when people only ate grass-fed game, wild-caught fish, nuts, vegetables, berries, and fruits. These people lived before modern agriculture and the domestication of animals. They hunted for meat and gathered berries and nuts. There were no grains planted in fields and there was no processed milk; as a result, the population wasn’t plagued by many of the chronic diseases we see today such as obesity, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Granted, the cavepeople didn’t have access to all of the produce in the recipes of Part 2, but they also didn’t have access to blenders and grocery stores. Following a Paleo lifestyle is more about eating as close to the ground, if you will, as possible. It is about avoiding processed foods, eating pastured meats, and consuming organic produce as often as possible.

      Even though they had to find or kill most of their food, your Paleolithic ancestors were still eating better quality foods than most of the world’s population today. Not only are the hundreds of quick-fix weight-loss products wreaking havoc on the human body, but the Standard American Diet (SAD) with grains at its helm is believed to contribute to a number of diseases and weaknesses of our bodies.

      Adherence to the Paleo lifestyle can also help in the prevention and management of chronic diseases. It also encourages a naturopathic-based and organic approach to health, as well as a greater ownership of your well-being. Being self-aware and establishing a more health-conscious perception of yourself is important in becoming and staying well.

      Right now you’re probably thinking that to live the Paleo lifestyle you need to move to the forest and take up hunting, fishing, and gardening. That couldn’t be further from the truth. All that is required is a shift in
