You do not have to eat an all raw diet to benefit from these amazing foods.  Everyone is different! We live in different environments, are active in different ways and have different needs. 
The best advice I can give is listen to your body and your doctor if you have one and experiment!  Try new things.  One thing is for sure; Most people agree that eating more fruits and vegetables is a good idea. 
And if I were to make one suggestion and one suggestion only as to what to change in the average american diet it would be; Drink your green smoothie every morning as your first meal! 
There are countless varioations on the green smoothie theme; just use some fruit and some leafy greens. 

Mix up your greens daily as each type of fruit and veggie contains different nutrients and vitamins, etc.  Change it up!  Use a leafyn inknown leafy green once a week.  If you peruse the produce and see some lovely green leaves, try it next! Try kale; green, lacinato or purple; chard, spinach, arugula, dandelion greens, parsley or cilantro.  Use bananas, apples, pears, pineapple, peaches, any berry you like, etc.  Explore. 

Another good rule of thumb is to keep it simple.  One or two fruits and one or two leafy greens.  Add some flax seeds or chia seeds for additional nutrients; fats and oils.  Smoothies are a wonderful way to wake up you body and feel light, hydrated and energized until lunch time.  Simply by changing your morning meal, you will change your life for the better.
