Health benefits of going green

Green smoothies are a tasty and
efficient way to get a healthy dose
of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants,

and phytonutrients. Greens tend
to alkalinize the body, helping to
balance pH. Those who drink green smoothies regularly report that
they have more energy and feel better than ever.

In addition, leafy greens have an anti-inflammatory effect on the
body, which helps to lessen joint pain, and may also help to prevent
an array of chronic illnesses. The superfoods that you can add to

your smoothie carry with them some astounding health promoting
properties of their own.
