Go EXTRA Green Today

 As so many of you loved the Power Boost Green Smoothie I made last week check out a taster of this morning’s  Green Smoothie and go extra green today!

…Only this morning I decided to add a little something, to combat those winter chills, and help our joints (that maybe aching more in winter time), so I added some raw cacao powder.

Seem like an odd thing to add in, to help health–wise?

Check out the extensive nutrients and possible benefits below –

• Minerals including magnesium, calcium, manganese, sulphur, zinc, iron, copper + potassium
• Antioxidants with flavonoids, called Polyphenols
• Vitamins E, B1, B2, B3, B5, B9
• Essential heart-healthy, monounsaturated fat – oleic acid
• All these vital micronutrients can help us with the following – reducing blood pressure, helping circulation, promoting cardiovascular health, neutralising free radicals (via strong antioxidant boost,) increased sense of well being, and can even help to improve our digestion (which can help our immune system, as do each of the micronutrients above)

 

Enjoy!
