Green Smoothie Nutrition – Disclaimer & Sources

I created the Green Smoothie Nutrition section of Incredible Smoothies to provide some basic information to help you target certain nutrients in your green smoothies. The nutrient profiles and health articles are for informational purposes only and are not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure any disease. You should talk to a licensed medical professional before starting any diet or to address specific health concerns you might have.

Accuracy Of Health And Nutrition Information

Special care was taken to ensure the accuracy of the information provided here, however, errors do occur. If you discover an error on any page, please let me know by contacting me.

Conflicting Information

You will read conflicting health and nutrient information online. Some of the information presented on Incredible Smoothies might not reflect the same conclusions or opinions you might read elsewhere. This is the nature of nutrition science. Many health studies contradict each other or provide inconclusive results. These results are often used to promote certain health agendas. I have tried to be non-biased in the presentation of the information here.

Recommended Daily Allowances

All nutrient amounts are based on recommendations published by the Institute of Medicine and/or the United State Department of Agriculture (USDA). All nutrition facts are approximate and are based on a 2000-calorie diet for an average, healthy adult. Actual nutritional values will vary depending on the size and freshness of the foods you use, the soil where they were grown and any processing methods used prior to consumption. Nutritional values are based on information that may change at any time.

Depth Of Information Provided

Nutrient profiles contain basic, widely available information on vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients. The main purpose of these profiles and health articles is to provide you with a starting point for improving your diet or fortifying your green smoothies. They are by no means comprehensive profiles of each nutrient. To further your nutrition research, please visit the following websites:
