While a little sour, I think I can get used to
this weeks smoothie. The Cranberry Cleanser Green Smoothie includes two fruits
I’ve never used in a smoothie before: oranges and cranberries.
Though cranberries contain those familiar
nutrients of fiber and Vitamin C. The array of phytonutrients is what caused
the fruit to receive the special attention of health researchers. Phytonutrients,
or plant-nutrients, are what protects your body from germs, fungi, bugs, and other
threats.
Oranges are full of antioxidants and Vitamin C,
both perfect ingredients for healing and resisting illnesses.
Kale is another ingredient in this smoothie and I
love it. I find myself using this one as much as I can. Kale has zero fat, and
is high in iron and Vitamin K.
Too make this smoothie more powerful I also added
some matcha powder and cacao nibs. When researching matcha powder I discovered that “One
glass of matcha is the equivalent of ten glasses of green tea in terms of
nutritional value and antioxidant content.”
After this smoothie, your bodywill immediately receive the natural energy it needs to get through the day.
P.S. Don’t be afraid if your smoothie doesn’t get
the perfect green colour, it will still taste delicious.
