Go Green

For about a month now, I have been blending and binging on green smoothies every morning before work. I had read about celebrities obsessing over this 'green juice' trend and after buying a book and educating myself about the many health benefits, I was on board!  Don't let the color turn you off! By combining fruit, greens ( I recommend kale, spinach, lettuce or dandelion leaves) and water, the concoction is actually pretty tasty and I have become quite addicted!

HEALTH BENEFITS:

• High in antioxidants (giving your body the best defense against disease)
• Easy digestibility
• Increases energy naturally
• Enhances mental clarity & focus
• Increases your fiber intake
• Reduces cravings of junk food
• Natural weight loss
• Clearer, more radiant skin
• Anti-aging effects
• Hair &  nails grow faster and stronger

(how could you not become an addict?!)

KEEP IN MIND (for maximum effects):

• ONLY blend fruit, greens, water & ice (no vegetables, yogurt or milk)
• Don't eat any food 40 minutes before or 40 minutes after drinking a green smoothie
• Rotate your greens on a weekly basis
• You can keep in the fridge for 2-3 days without it going bad

Cheers to going green!
