Nobody puts baby spinach in the corner!

I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you.

In order to feel healthy, energized, and happy, we need to ensure we make smart food and lifestyle choices. A healthy breakfast can offer improved concentration, better mental and physical performance, and contribute greatly to your general well-being. In addition to a plethora of nutritional benefits, this morning drink provides a big dose of water to support your daily hydration needs.

Make your smoothie sing like Elvis Parsley

I can’t help falling in love with Parsley. More than a garnish, parsley is a powerful antioxidant and weapon against arthritis; it contains more iron than spinach and contains over 100% of your recommended daily vitamin C recommendation!

Not only are you getting a heaping dose of cell-protecting and cancer-preventing Parsley, this morning green smoothie is packed with superfood greens, inflammation-fighting ginger & turmeric, cell-protecting blueberries, and heart & brain healthy flax oil!

Nutritional Highlights

Ginger – Ginger is among the healthiest and zestiest spices on the planet. A natural anti-inflammatory, it may reduce nausea, help with digestion, fight cancer and boost the immune system. For athletes, ginger can open up your airways, assist in weight-loss, improve circulation and strengthen your immune system.

Turmeric – This long lost zesty relative of ginger has an impressive list of uses and benefits. Cancer-fighting is a badge it wears proudly, but also Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory and helps support the body’s inflammation levels—a valuable supplement for those active in sport.

Blueberries — Packed with nutrients like disease-fighting anthocyanin, cell-protecting and memory boosting flavonoids, skin-enhancing vitamin A and C and free-radical-fighting antioxidants.

Spinach – One of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, this endurance enhancing leaf is full of iron, contains cancer fighting antioxidants, Vitamin A, Vitamin K, and 40% of your magnesium requirement daily. Whoa yeah baby let’s get it on!

Kale – High in digestive-aiding fiber, muscle strengthening iron, and vision boosting Vitamin A!

ParsleySkin-cancer-fighting Myricetin, bone-improving Vitamin K, brain-protecting quercetin, and heart-disease combating folate.

Banana– Bananas are high in heart rate and blood pressure stabilizing potassium. Rich in antioxidants, which can provide protection from free radicals (not the tubular kind of radical.)

Flax – Contain a large amount of recovery-enhancing manganese, inflammation-reducing Omega-3 and energy-boosting Magnesium.
