GREEN GODDESS SMOOTHIE

When I feel the kids (or myself for that matter) need more greens in their day I add a teaspoon of wheatgrass powder. It contains a whopping 70% chlorophyll and a nutritional profile that matches fresh vegetables. It also detoxifies the liver and aids the digestive system and is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties.  I also use the Healthy Chef Natural Immune Support powder to boost our immune systems naturally as it is rich in vitamin C & D and is made from natural ingredients such as ginger, turmeric and Echinacea.  Another tip is to add powdered collagen to smoothies or even to your morning coffee, oatmeal or juice will deliver you a wallop of protein and help keep you feeling satiated.  It also soothes achey joints and can improve gut health. I've also heard it reduces the appearance of wrinkles!
