How to Relieve Constipation: Prune Smoothie Recipes To Keep-Things-Moving
As long as I keep drinking green smoothies regularly, I never suffer from constipation. The only times I do get constipated is when I travel and am unable to consume my usual diet rich in green smoothies and other whole foods.
Consuming lots of fresh, raw fruits, vegetables, and greens, definitely helps to “keep things moving” in this department. These foods provide such abundance of fiber and liquids that they virtually swipe your intestines like a broom, and are the best remedy for constipation relief.
Green smoothies act like a broom, cleaning up your many, many feet of intestinal tract, and helping elimination of all the unnecessary stuff and garbage from your body.

You may be asking yourself: “Why am I constipated after drinking green smoothies?”

The present system, where women rely on a pill and not on real foods, leads to a plethora of serious health problems in children- childhood asthma, infant respiratory tract infections, and cardiac birth defect.

Raw Vegan Chili Recipe: Ready In 10 Minutes or Less
Many people have no problem replacing snacks and desserts with green smoothies and other raw dishes. However, when it comes to lunch and dinner, most of us crave something much more substantial and filling.
Although I live mostly on green smoothies during the day, at evening, when the whole family gets home, I’m usually having a cooked dish that I prepared for them.
Still, as the hot summer weather approaches, I’m experimenting more and more with raw main dishes, such as this raw vegan chili. Unlike the cooked chili recipe that I posted earlier this week, other than having to pre-soak a couple of ingredients, it only takes about five minutes to make!
