14 Day Green Smoothie Challenge. 5 Remarkable Results.

Want to feel lighter, more energized, and healthy this spring? Are you ready to switch things up a bit and head into summer on a healthy note? This green smoothie challenge might be a great opportunity for you.

A longtime Divine Health customer recently tried a 14-day green smoothie challenge to see how her body would respond. She simply swapped her regular lunch for our Keto Zone Energizing Green Smoothie (recipe below).  This is what she reported, both subjectively and objectively.

But first, here’s the recipe and the details of its ingredients, and what you can take the challenge too.

Keto Zone Energizing Green Smoothie

Why Try Our Fermented Energizing Green Smoothie Challenge?

Are the ingredients magic? Almost. In addition to Keto Zone Collagen Powder, Keto Zone Fiber Zone, fresh fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats, the star of this smoothie is Divine Health Fermented Green Supremefood. This amazing fermented green powder is full of USDA Organic greens, vegetables, grasses, and ingredients like milk thistle.

Milk thistle is a very special ingredient. It has been shown to support liver health, potentially offer neuroprotection and support healthy brain function in aging (1, 2), stimulate bone mineralization (3), support healthy skin and fewer blemishes (4), promote insulin sensitivity (5), and support healthy immune function.

In addition, fermented foods like those in Divine Health Fermented Green Supremefood contain:

• Less Sugar. Fermentation vastly decreases sugar since it has been used as food for the fermenters. The remaining sugars become more easily digestible.
• More Nutrients. Many vitamins, minerals, and nutrients become easier to digest and absorb.
• Healthy Bacteria. As the fermenters proliferate, healthy bacteria multiply.
• Natural Food Preservation. Byproducts of fermentation, like alcohol and lactic acid, naturally preserve food.
• Better Proteins. As fermenters eat, they often alter proteins to make them more digestible.

What Can Happen in Just 2 Weeks?

In just 2 weeks, she reported the following:

1. More Energy

Do you ever feel tired after lunch? Many adults do. Our customer did.

Adults often eat lunches that cause an energy peak and crash, or that are full of processed ingredients (like soybean oil) associated with health declines.

If that describes your lunch, trade it out for the Keto Zone® Energizing Green Smoothie!

This energizing smoothie is full of easy-to-digest energizing ingredients instead of processed ones. It has helped many people maintain steady energy throughout the afternoon, rather than an afternoon slump.

2. Less Afternoon Bloat and Flatter Stomach

How about bloat? Do you feel too full and uncomfortable after meals?

Our Energizing Green Smoothies goes above and beyond other green smoothies for digestion.

Fermented foods can fight belly bloat while supporting healthy digestion. In addition, the psyllium husk and inulin in Keto Zone Fiber Zone are some of the best ingredients available for healthy digestion. This means more nutrients are delivered to the body while digestion is comfortable and healthy.

3. Modest Weight Change

This, of course, depends on your current habits, starting point and weight. But, liquid nutrition has a long history of supporting a healthier weight as long as the ingredients in the smoothie are good ones! In fact, studies have found that healthy green smoothies are great for a healthy weight.

Why?

Smoothie-drinkers often feel full because smoothies have a large volume. In studies, this has proven successful for dieters (6). They also pack in a lot of nutrients for a relatively small amount of calories.

What’s more, the energizing detox nutrients in the Divine Health Fermented Green Supremefood, including organic fermented grasses, greens, and fiber can support cellular health. This in turn may allow cells to more efficiently oxidize fat.

This particular customer started just a few pounds over her goal weight, and she still experienced a 2 pound loss.

4. Healthy Skin

There are many ingredients in the smoothie that support skin health, including those in Divine Health Fermented Green Supremefood  (like milk thistle) and Keto Zone Collagen Powder. In fact, hydrolyzed collagen is a well-known and tested ingredient for amazing skin.

According to studies, collagen has been shown to support healthy skin hydration, improved visual assessment of skin, and skin elasticity (7).

Our customer reported no break-outs and more glow in her skin…she had previously complained of dullness.

5. Less Hunger

After lunch, our customer said she used to first feel bloated, but then extremely hungry by late afternoon.

Smoothies often go one of two ways. Sometimes, dieters feel famished.. Typically, this is because they are drinking low-fiber, high-sugar, low-nutrition smoothies. Or, they are drinking smoothies that simply don’t contain enough calories.

On the other hand, many dieters report less hunger and more energy with smoothies.

This is not a low-calorie smoothie. What’s more, the combination of Keto Zone Fiber Zone, high-volume fruits and vegetables, Divine Health Fermented Green Supremefood, water, and air whipped into it (this always happens with a blender), promotes satiety without a big solid-food lunch or an afternoon snack.

Bonus Benefits: Detox and Cleanse

Divine Health Fermented Green Supremefood is a part of an even greater cleanse system, called the 21 Day Detox and Cleanse Starter System. If you’re ready to dive in, you’ll get many more benefits from adding intermittent fasting, gallbladder cleansing, and more!

Let Us Know Your Experience

Once you take this 14-day Energizing Green Smoothie Challenge, let us know what you think! Did you feel energized? See a flatter belly or experience weight changes? Skin changes?

We’d love to hear from you in the comments below.

Our Keto Zone Energizing Green Smoothie may just change your life, or at least your lunches and afternoons. Give it a try for 2 weeks and let us know how the fermented greens, fibers, and healthy fats affect your body. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you eat oatmeal on keto?

Unanswered questions can be the hardest to find solutions for. Many feel lost and confused when it comes time to choose the right food for the keto diet. It is particularly true with oatmeal, which contains a lot carbs.

However, oatmeal can be successfully incorporated into a keto-friendly lifestyle, even though it is not what many people believe. It all depends upon what kind of oatmeal you purchase and how often you eat.

To find a keto-approved oatmeal recipe, you need to examine the ingredients such as nuts, seeds, and low-carb additions that combine into one delicious, nutritious meal. Pure oats have a high content of fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals. This makes them very suitable for keto.

Also, be mindful of how many oats you are adding to your daily meal. You don't need to run a marathon, or eat too many overnight meals. Instead, you can exercise self-control and limit your portions while maximising flavour with innovative ingredients like coconut milk, cinnamon powder, and chia seeds.

If done properly, oatmeal can make a great breakfast choice within a Keto nutrition plan. Do not let anyone tell you to sacrifice taste for your principles. Proper preparation can lead to serious results.

Do I Really Need a Keto Food List?

Are you unsure if you should have a list of keto foods? It is an important part of your journey to keto. The key to reaping the benefits of the ketogenic diet is eating high-fat, low carb foods. There are so many foods and recipes that offer different amounts of carbs, it can be hard to choose the right fuel for your goals.

You can plan your meals easier by knowing which foods you are allowed to eat on this diet. It provides both information on what to eat and ideas for cooking them. It is also a quick reference guide that you can use to get to the grocery or restaurant.

A balanced diet and healthy lifestyle can increase weight loss while maintaining wellness. To reach ketosis, you need to eat 12-15% protein and 15-30% fat. The primary goal then is not just the identification of desirable meals but choosing those that allow for maximum nutrients in minimum carbs.

It can be very helpful to have a reliable keto food guide that lists healthy options within these parameters. This will help you make the transition to cleaner eating habits, which will lead to better health and more purposeful living. You are one step closer towards achieving your lifestyle goals by taking advantage of this resource.

What is the suggested lazy keto diet?

It can be daunting to begin your keto journey. All the information, books, and advice available on nutrition can make it easy to get overwhelmed. This is where the "lazy diet keto" comes in.

Instead of tracking all your macros, lazy keto diets focus on reducing net carbohydrates to 25-50g per day in order to enter and maintain ketosis. Because you don't need to monitor your macronutrients or caloric intake, this approach is much more flexible than traditional keto diets.

The lazy ketogenic diet allows you to forgo tracking macros in favor of whole low-carb food choices that you love. You are encouraged to eat moderate amounts of meat, eggs, dairy products and nuts while avoiding added sugars and starchy carbohydrates.

This may be the right option for you if you are looking for a simpler way to live low-carb without having to sacrifice delicious meals or lose important nutrients. Lazy Keto is great for those starting on their health journeys who have little time or knowledge about keto nutrition plans or if you need a break from counting macros each day yet still want to reach your weight loss goals.

What is a typical ketogenic meal?

A ketogenic diet is a great way to eat. It's just regular healthy eating with an extra twist. It includes avoiding processed carbs and substituting high-quality proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

This diet has many health benefits including increased energy, cognitive performance, better sleep and digestion. It's all possible while enjoying delicious, great-tasting meals.

So what does an example of a tasty ketogenic meal look like? It could be as simple as grilled salmon with fresh parmesan, paired with roasted potatoes drizzled with olive oils, and garnished with freshly-cut herbs. Or perhaps it's an omelet overflowing with bacon bits, flavorful bell peppers, and melted cheese, all cooked up in your favourite buttery spread.

You don't have to go the easy way when you are trying to make your next keto dish. Quality ingredients will make any meal a success. Let's get creative! Get in the kitchen and discover new flavors while enjoying healthy recipes that can change your life.

How To

The Best Foods for a Ketogenic diet

A ketogenic diet is only possible if you consume the right foods. Get enough protein, include fats, moderate carbohydrates, and avoid processed and sugary food.

Eating whole foods is important. It's also important to consume moderate amounts healthy fats such butter, avocado oil, coconut oil, butter, and other healthy fats. Ensure you eliminate all kinds of refined sugar, bread, and grains to maximize potential success with your new way of eating.

To ensure that your body is receiving the maximum nutrition possible, choosing organic whenever you can should be a priority. Free-range eggs will ensure that you receive vital nutrients from concentrated resources naturally fed by the environment.

You can delight your tastebuds with tasty dishes made from low-carb staples like spinach, broccoli, and kale. This will help you to curb your cravings for sugary carbs. Eating fermented foods is a great way to include probiotic properties in your diet that have been linked to improved metabolic health and decreased inflammation.

Dabbling with recipes using wild meats such as venison, duck, or partridge can add variety to your menu plan while providing lean proteins plus minerals that are not always easy to find in other food sources relatively easily.

This lifestyle change is about finding a balance between fresh produce in its natural state and adding nutrients to it.
