Heavenly Wheatgrass Green Smoothie

smoothies

It's green, smooth, and irresistible!

In addition to pear (awesome for hydration!), kale (a wonderful nutrient dense veggie), broccoli (go, antioxidants), and avocado (each serving is filled with about 20 vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients), this smoothie contains wheatgrass − hello, benefits!

Wheatgrass contains hundreds of live proteins. A highly concentrated source of plant protein, it has been credited with body detoxification, anti-inflammatory properties, immune system boosting, and even cleansing of the liver, blood, and intestines. Rich in antioxidants, and filled with vitamins and minerals, it may also stimulate metabolism, regulate blood sugar levels, and contain anti-aging properties!

  • 1 cup kale leaves (center stem removed)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped and packed
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
