Smoothies!!!!
I have been making and eating alot of raw food/green smoothies lately!! I pretty much combine whatever I have in my refrigerator or freezer. Here are some of the things I randomly throw into my Magic Bullet Blender any given day:
water
lemon juice
cranberry juice
tart cherry juice
frozen acai berries
kale
collard greens
spinach
beets
daikon radish
carrots
sprouts
dandelion greens
blueberries
strawberries
banana
raspberries
cherries
apple
dulse
garlic
spirulina
chlorella
greens powder
plant protein powder
ground flaxseed
fish oil
All these ingredients are nutritional powerhouses!! Green smoothies are very beneficial to the body!
-full of vitamins and minerals, antioxidants
-help with inflammation
-a stronger immune system
- increase mental clarity
- less 'brain fog' and better memory
- better digestion and absorption of nutrients
- effortless and healthy weight loss
- clearer skin and brighter eyes
- liver and kidney support through detoxification
- cravings for sugar, salt and fats decrease
- energy increases, less need for sleep
- blood sugars are naturally stabilized
- your body's natural PH balance is restored to more alkaline levels
-have cancer-protection properties
and the list goes on and on!!
I challenge you to experiment and see what you can come up with! Drink up!! :)
