Learn the secret of making healthy greens like spinach, kale & collard taste like what you really want. With this slideshow you can learn how to erase the flavor of the greens, & replace it with smooth chocolate, or fresh fruit. Food chemistry (and a recipe right here in the show!) illustrate how the flavor can be erased & the nutrition enhanced with specific combinations of ingredients in your blender or food processor. There's smoothies, snackable frozen 'candies' popsicles & more inside! It's fast, tasty and so easy that you'll want to grab your chia seeds, blender, and greens to get started right away.

1. You probably already know how great ‘greens’ are for you
Everything from cancer protection to lowering cholesterol are on the arm-length list of benefits
that even a simple search will bring up. Each of the “big 3” greens is good for you in so many
different ways. The top three commonly available dark leafy greens are spinach, kale & collard.
So why isn’t everyone scrambling to eat kale at every meal?
Flavor.
You don’t want breakfast broccoli. Nobody wants a bowl of collard greens instead of a pizza for
dinner. You know it’s good for you, but serving a big bowl of spinach at lunch (with nothing
else) just isn’t appetizing.

2. What if you could have a whole salad worth of greens…
Before anyone else has even thought of touching a veggie?
However, it has to taste GREAT. With this slide show, you’ll learn the secret of eliminating the
flavor of various greens so that you can enjoy a wide variety of healthy treats, snacks,
smoothies and more…all with leafy greens thoroughly hidden inside.
After all…if something doesn’t taste good, mix up fast, and clean up quickly, you won’t be able
to take action and do it. Today’s lifestyle demands healthy choices quickly, easily & with
fantastic flavor you actually look forward to.
“No One Will Eat This For Breakfast.”

3. Fortunately, you can fight the flavor with FUN!
Just look at all of these tempting treats:
Smooth, rich tasting chocolate drinks, colorful frozen ‘candies’ to snack on, fun creamy popsicles, sweet
smoothies to satisfy…the list goes on with fantastic flavors you actually want to try.

4. This drink is the real winner if you like chocolate!
It’s the perfect “introduction item” to re-flavoring your greens. Getting started with this simple
recipe is ideal as it is smooth, unintimidating, and so easy to get right with just a blender.
It’s easy, it’s quick, and it tastes fantastically chocolaty, it’s a real treat…so much so, that you’d
never guess it was PACKED with 2 whole handfuls of raw spinach.
(You’ll never guess how much spinach is in this glass, just by looking at the photo!)

5. How does it work?
Chocolate & spinach sounds like a horrible combination.
That would be correct…if you couldn’t totally ERASE the flavor of the spinach first!
Fortunately, this drink is engineered (with flavor combination science) to do exactly that.
Spinach doesn’t have a powerful flavor when you start combining it with other things in the
correct proportions.
Bitter compounds = knock them out with sweet & neutralize them by
using the banana
Leafy flavor = cancel it out with super strong, unsweetened cocoa
powder
Cocoa isn’t sweet = power it up with stevia powder or drops to turn the
drink into a sweet treat that you really want (without adding sugar)
Mellow with non-dairy milk = no thick sludge here! A smooth icy cold
chocolate drink is ideal, don’t let acidic compounds in dairy milk meddle
with your flavors
Maximize spinach nutrient absorption with healthy omega 3 oils by
adding chia seeds
Each ingredient does an important job in contributing to what you DO taste, and making sure
you DON’T taste what you don’t want.

6. Make a chocolate drink that’s great for you!
1 cup baby spinach leaves (about 2 handfuls)
1 yellow banana
(not under nor over-ripe, the yellow banana has the natural fruit sugars in correct proportions to
sweeten your drink & cancel bitterness)
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp stevia powder (or more, to taste)
½ cup non-dairy milk (less for thick ‘smoothie’ texture, more for a drink)
1 to 3 tsp dry MySeeds chia seeds
Blend until smooth, chill and enjoy.
You might not think something this simple could be so good…but give it a try. It’s so easy it takes less
than 5 minutes. If you use it in the morning, you can always scoop in some of your favorite protein
powder. Chill overnight in the fridge for breakfast in an instant.
Feel good about your day because you already had a salad-worth
of greens before most people have even thought of
touching a veggie.

7. Yes, you can freeze this drink!
Don’t want a smoothie? Want something to bite into? Yes, you can freeze this drink to create
these snackable chocolate ‘candies’ seen here. All you need is a fun shaped ice cube tray with
small “bite size” forms. It is as easy as pour, freeze, pop & snack!
Because you used a banana, these frozen treats have the creamy texture of a fudgescicle
popsicle. They aren’t icy, brittle or extremely hard. This pleasing texture makes them easy to
eat as a healthy snack. Remember: kids love fun shaped little foods like this…but no kid would
pick spinach as their after-school snack under normal circumstances. However, this drink is
rather extraordinary.

8. Fun Popsicles too?
Of course, if you want a larger portion, just select a pour-n-freeze plastic popsicle mold
available from almost any grocery or online store. Most are dishwasher safe, can cost as little as
a dollar, and are a snap to use.
You can save money this way as well. Making popsicles at home with your own fresh
ingredients is often less expensive than buying a box of popsicles in the store. Plus, think about
how much better these are for you: no artificial dyes, sweeteners, pasteurization (it kills off
some enzymes & nutrients in fresh fruits or vegetables), or animal ingredients.

9. Now that you believe in the power of recipes…
Using combinations of foods together really can make healthy stuff taste great. It’s time to take
it further with more ingredients and more tips to make life even healthier AND even easier for
you. For example, did you wonder why seeds were a part of the recipe?
Chia has no flavor of its own. The seeds are very tiny and can be added to almost any food
without altering the flavor. While chia won’t alter flavor, it will alter nutrition and fiber content
in a great way.

10. Chia seeds are there for the same reason salad oil is applied to
salads – you won’t get the full nutrition otherwise!
The healthy plant oil inside chia seeds makes greens MORE nutritionally available to you.
Healthy oils, like omega 3s and extra-virgin olive oil combine with the nutrients in the leaves
like lycopene and beta-carotene to help your body absorb more of these healthy compounds.
(Yes, both lycopene and beta-carotene are in spinach, despite their reputation for abundance in
red & orange foods instead)
Dietary fat, which comes from the food you eat, is crucial to the absorption of the fat-soluble
vitamins, which includes vitamins A, D, K and E. The only thing that will dissolve these so you
can use them, is a unit of healthy fat. So when you’re making greens drinks, never skip the chia
seeds or you’ll miss out on the nutrition—which was the whole point of the drink.

11. Chia’s job is not limited to adding oil, when you add chia seeds
to anything, you’re also adding:

12. Some Greens are Tough – Power Through Them
Do you often see kale, collard greens, or mustard greens on menus? Probably not, and the
reasons are taste & texture. Different greens have different benefits, but you’ll need a better
blender if you want to use the “tough guys” like kale, collard or mustard greens. These 3 aren’t
popular on menus because when raw, they are rough, tough & fibrous. If you don’t have a
powerful, sharp blender, you can get “bits of texture” instead of a smooth smoothie.
You can counteract this with a sharp blender or food processor blade. If your machine is older,
or if the blades are blunt, you may get texture bits when using these greens. However, their
health benefits are powerful, it’s worthwhile to put your blender or food processor to the
test…and upgrade to a newer one if you have to.

13. Avoid Gross greens!
Worried about not being able to use up that giant bag of greens quickly enough? Have 3
different types in the fridge to maximize your nutrition spectrum? Don’t worry, just freeze ‘em.
Because you’re blending, you can easily freeze the leaves and they’ll keep for months at a time
without withering, wilting or rotting. Don’t bother to defrost, just pack them into the blender or
food processor.
The spinach and kale on the left were just removed from the freezer after 2 weeks. The same
type of leaves on the right, didn’t fare so well in just the fridge. Don’t let any of your greens go
to waste: freeze them for “almost forever freshness”.

14. Different Greens – Different Benefits
Of course, there are many green foods you can try blending into the recipe above, and some
are more exotic than others. Wheat grass juice, sea vegetables, unusual bean sprouts and many
more line the shelves of health food stores. But when you need a big bag of quick, easy greens
there are usually 3 that are common, inexpensive, and cooperate decently well in a myriad of
healthy recipes.
Notice how each green has different effects that it does best.
Kale has 1000% more vitamin C than spinach, but collard greens have more protein. This is why
mixing them up, and not sticking to only one is a good idea. Of course, if you’re looking for a
specific effect, like lowering cholesterol, or reducing prostate cancer risk, you’ll want to choose
the specific green that focuses on the desired effect.

15. Collard Greens
Forget about a steamed, withered green mess that doesn’t taste great. Blast away their flavor
in the blender and get unrivaled cholesterol fighting power. Collard rules over all cruciferous
vegetables in its ability to bind to bile acid (substance manufactured by the liver) and escort it
out of the digestive system. Bile acid is made by using up cholesterol, so you want to “waste”
as much of this stuff as you can, to lower your cholesterol level.
Anti-cancer – Research shows that collard greens have 4 specific glucosinolates are:
glucoraphanin, sinigrin, gluconasturtiian, and glucotropaeolin. Each one has a cancer fighting
property to help keep you safer.
What’s in a collard green?
One cup has about 63 calories, 5 grams of protein, a single gram of fat, 11 grams of
carbohydrates, (That’s about 8 of fiber, and only 1 of sugar), over 250% of your daily needs for
vitamin A, over 50% of your daily needs for vitamin C, 26% of calcium needs, 12% of iron and
10% of both vitamin B-6 and magnesium.
Collard greens are an extremely rich source of vitamin K and also contain folate, thiamin, niacin,
pantothenic acid, choline*, phosphorus and potassium.
*Choline is the good exercise & good mood nutrient

16. Kale
Kale features easily absorbable calcium & iron, as well as over 1000% more vitamin c than
spinach. It continues to impress with vitamin A, C and K as well as trace minerals like copper,
potassium, iron, manganese and phosphorus. It’s super low calorie at only 40 calories per cup,
but high in protein with 5 grams per cup. Protein can only give you energy, it can’t be stored as
fat.
Fiber & alpha-lipoic acid, both which have been shown to lower or help balance glucose levels , can give
you steadier energy throughout your day. No one would ever think of powering up their morning with
kale, but now you can.
What’s in kale?
A cup of kale has 33 calories, 0 cholesterol, 329 mg of potassium, 133% your daily value of vitamin-A,
134% your daily value of C, only 10% of your recommended amount of calcium (spinach has more) both
lutein & zeaxanthin which both boost eye health, alpha-linolenic acid (less than fish, but still great for
you) 2.5 grams of fiber, and the b vitamin folate.

17. Spinach
Spinach is the mildest & most user-friendly of the big greens.
It’s light texture & milder flavor make it easy to use but its vitamin K, vitamin A (in the form of
carotenoids), manganese, folate, magnesium, iron, copper, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin E,
calcium, potassium, and vitamin C make it something you’ll want to use every day!
It is a very good source of dietary fiber, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc, protein, and choline (just
like how the collard green was) A cup of spinach has more potassium than a banana. Spinach
has compounds that increase satisfaction (feeling of fullness) AND that reduce your desire for
starchy foods. Both of these effects are great for weight loss.0
What’s in spinach?
One cup of raw spinach has 27 calories, (That’s very low for a cup of anything!) 0.86 grams of
protein, 30 milligrams of calcium, 0.81 grams of iron, 24 milligrams of magnesium, 167
milligrams of potassium, 2813 IUs of Vitamin A and 58 micrograms of folate.
Be on the lookout for its anti prostate-cancer properties with neoxanthin and violaxanthin, plus
its special glycoglycerolipids that guards your digestive tract against inflammation. The
potassium can be used to help lower blood pressure, and the magnesium is great for energy,
absorbing calcium, muscle & nerve health, helping the immune system and even heart rhythm.
Magnesium is the mineral that helps with 22 health conditions!

18. You can add your favorite mix-ins too
If you want to add your favorite protein powder, or other powdered vegetables you can. This
drink, for example, has the healthy algae spirulina added to it. Maca powder, wheat or barley
grass powder, moringa powder, protein powder, spirulina, whey, chlorella and so much more
can be added to your smoothies. You can also use kefir or yogurt for a probiotic boost.
You can see the chia seeds in this very green drink. (None of the colored drinks like red, orange
or purple will work with spirulina though…it turns everything it touches bright green no-matter
what) The beauty of green smoothies is they welcome in almost any extra ingredient you’d like
to add.
