green drinks
Greens are the RAWK STARS of the raw food lifestyle!
Greens are WICKED nutrient dense. They are loaded with all kinds of vitamins & minerals from folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium and magnesium to iron and calcium, and they also contain phytonutrients. Scroll down for recipes.
Greens can change your life, so what are you waiting for, get your greens on!
Sitting down to a couple of huge plates of greens each day may not be that appealing to you, but throw them in a smoothie or a juice & you are golden … or should I say “green”? ! 🙂 Why don’t see for yourself & commit to a 30 day green drink challenge?
I am not asking you to change any of your current eating habits, I am only asking that you add 1 quart of green smoothie or green juice to your diet every day for 30 days. You can drink it all in the morning or throughout your day … whatever works for you … just make sure by the end of the day it is gone. 🙂
And if you are up for an additional challenge … I challenge you to eat 2 side salads a day along with enjoying your green smoothie or green juice! You can do it! RAWK ON!
