Berrylicious!

Day 4 of the green smoothie challenge and today's smoothie was berry, berry good! Ha. Ha. 

During this time of year, berries are abundant so I wanted to create a berry good drink today:)  When berries are this cheap, I'll often buy a bunch, wash them off, and freeze them for future smoothies. Using frozen fruit makes your smoothie cold without using ice cubes. 

Today's berry, very good recipe is as follows:

2 cups Power Greens (baby kale, chard, spinach)
2 small celery stalks
1/2 c frozen blueberries
1/2 c raspberries
1 tsp raw organic honey

1 tsp Maca powder

1 tbsp raw walnuts

1/2 tsp chlorella powder

1 tbsp goji berries
1 c Synergy Mystic Mango Kombucha

Cheers!

Maca root powder

Benefits of Maca Root

Maca is one of the top 10 superfoods in the world. Maca root has been used by the Peruvian culture for thousands of years. 

1. ENERGY BOOST 

Try substituting your morning coffee with maca powder. It can offer a super boost of energy naturally without the side effects from caffeine.

2. SUPER NUTRITION

This nutritionally dense superfood contains high amounts of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and essential amino acids. Dried maca powder contains nearly 20 amino acids - including seven essential amino acids. It also contains 5X MORE PROTEIN than a potato and 4X MORE FIBER! 

3. BALANCE HORMONES

Most of us have hormones that are out of whack due to the over abundance of environmental estrogens. Maca stimulates and nourishes the "master glands" in the body - the hypothalamus and pituitary glands which in turn helps to balance the adrenal, thyroid, pancreas ovarian and testicular glands. 

Maca powder

In summary, this superfood increases energy, endurance, strength, and libido. Ooo la la! That's what's up! 

Cheers!
