Victoria Boutenko Mother Of All Green Smoothies

The green smoothie: A history Victoria Boutenko, the author of Green for Life, is considered the god mother of putting greens in a blender and making a green smoothy. Boutenko was inspired by a story she heard, about chimpanzees who eat large amounts of greens and showed a large resistance against diseases administered to them by scientists during medical research experiments. Boutenko suggested looking at the chimpanzees’ diet to understand why their immune system was so strong, rather than try to infect them with disease and then try to fight it with experimental drugs. But since our human teeth, aren’t really built to break down large quantities of greens, Boutenko used a powerful blender to break down the greens. She added fruit to make the concoction enjoyable. And so, the green smoothy was born. Chefs, bloggers, and foodies create their own versions of the green smoothie over time. Which made the green smoothy even more popular. While there are conflicting views among medical experts about the benefits of green smoothie, there are many cases of people sharing their positive and life-changing experiences based on the regular consumption of green smoothies.
