"Green Drink"


I usually make this the morning after my 'cheat meal'. Awesome detox drink.

1 scoop organic wheat grass powder
8 oz apple juice
1 banana (I recommend frozen if using fresh pineapple)
1/4 c pineapple (frozen works good)
1 kiwi (chinese goosberry), peeled and sliced
1 scoop whey protein powder

place all ingredients in magic bullet (or blender) blend and enjoy!
(need a little more liquid: add juice from pineapple or a little more apple juice)

Benefits of wheatgrass: source: provided by Amazing Grass

For the majority of people, consuming processed foods along with stresses of every day life create an acidic balance in the blood. This causes the body to store water and build up fat in the arteries (cholesterol) as protection from acidic blood.

By restoring alkalinity and neutralizing acid production your body can recover quicker, metabolize faster, reduce food cravings and achieve your optimal health. Click pH level.

Wheat grass is believed to have many unexplained natural healing qualities. Many of the phytonutrients (plant nutrients) contained in cereal grasses have yet to be identified and it is not completely known how they provide such great benefits to our health. We do know that cereal grasses contain large amounts of chlorophyll (the “blood” of plants), which is amazingly similar to hemoglobin, the molecule that carries oxygen in the blood.

Chlorophyll is soluble in fat particles, and since fat particles are absorbed directly in to the blood via the lymphatic system, there is evidence that chlorophyll can also be absorbed easily in this way. Essentially the “blood” of plants is easily absorbed into human blood, which transports nutrients efficiently to every cell of the body.

This explains why chlorophyll is so readily assimilated into our blood stream and our bodies are able to utilize its powerful properties. With the addition of Chlorophyll into our diet, we are consuming the very essence of life’s energy. Essentially the “blood” of plants is absorbed into human blood, which transports nutrients to every cell of the body.
