HYDRATION

If you are not drinking half your body weight in ounces of water a day, I’m not sure how you are surviving. By starting your day with a green drink you are kicking off the hydration process, waking up your brain, and giving your body a solid foundation to work from for the rest of the day.

ENERGY

Don’t allow the digestion of a heavy meal to slow you down before your day even gets started. Instead, you may benefit from a lighter green drink in the morning to get yourself going. Add greens like spirulina and spinach, full of B6, folate, magnesium, and iron, to your green drink for an added energy boost.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

Naturally lower inflammation and reduce pain in the body, with a 16oz green drink daily. Nourish your body with the proper nutrients and minerals needed for healing by adding banana to your green drink for potassium, spinach for magnesium, spirulina for phytonutrients, cilantro to detox heavy metals, apple for lowering cholesterol, lemon for PH balance, avocado for healthy fats….the list goes on my friend!

BRAIN FOG

When you’re hydrated, you naturally have a better ability to focus, feel clear-headed and achieve your goals. Starting your morning off with a green drink instead of caffeine can help clear brain fog and give you the power you need to rock your day. Caffeine based beverages will eventually cause adrenal fatigue. That’s when your body starts to crash from the highs and lows of caffeine abuse causing irritability, foggy head, headaches, shakes, chills, dehydration etc.

GLOWING SKIN

People that drink their greens can often be recognized by their glowing skin. No joke, even after just a few days of adding a green drink to your routine, you may find your skin is clear and even starts to glow. My theory is better nutrition, better hydration, balanced PH, the healthier your skin looks. You are Healthy Inside Out!

CONTROL CRAVINGS

Healthy fats, high fiber content, and proper hydration help decrease cravings. When you start your day off with a healthy choice, you’re less inclined to go off track the rest of the day. By offering your body real nutrition, you’re setting a foundation for higher expectations, where your body and brain can thrive. Eventually, you’ll begin to seek out healthy foods rather than unhealthy ones. It takes 30 days to form a habit, 90 days for it to become routine. Be consistent and make it a lifestyle change.

EASY ON-THE-GO

Green drinks take minutes to prepare and are an excellent source of on-the-go fuel. (You all know my analogy about treating your body like a high performance vehicle. Proper fuel, and no junk in the trunk, to keep running at peak performance.) You’ll prevent those highly refined on-the-go breakfast from loading down your trunk, while nourishing yourself without the extra time it takes to prepare a full meal. In fact, if you prep the night before, or keep freezer bag prepped green drinks, you aren’t out anymore time than it takes to make a cup of coffee.
