From spring cleaning my body, to using it as a cleanse post partum, to incorporating it into my daily routine for an immune boost and overall wellness, this smoothie has always delivered. i’ve used this nutritional powerhouse for the last 15 years when my body needed any of the above. Whatever your reason may be, i can confidently say that if you incorporate this nutritional powerhouse into your life, you will feel like a better version of yourself. not to mention, it does wonders for your skin. :-)

why don’t you take my 7 day challenge!? follow the recipe i’ve tweaked and perfected over the years (feel free to substitute some ingredients to your liking) for 7 days straight. Drink the smoothie first thing in the morning (you just need to wake up 10 minutes earlier-worth it!!) as your first meal. follow with a healthy lunch and dinner. nosh on fruits, vegetables, and/or some nuts as snacks in between meals.

I promise your body will greatly benefit from drinking these extra nutrients. please share how this has improved your day!
