Healthy Smoothie & Snacks Made Easy

 

 

There is really no excuse to not eat healthy... I have often heard that eating healthy is difficult or hard to stay on top of.  I have also heard that it takes too much time, or too much focus, or too much of this-and-that.  Well, in a world full of sickness, disease, and Genetically Modified Organisms* (GMO), all it takes is to make right choices and make it delicious. 

 

 

 

Choose to eat more fresh fruits & vegetables daily to replace processed foods and snacks that you would normally choose to eat.  The choice is to simply 'get it in' with no excuses... and one of the best ways to get it in is to make plant-based decisions... smoothies and/or snacks.  Now you're eating healthy.

 

Be Creative and Eat the Rainbow... or DRINK it!

 

 

*A genetically modified organism (GMO), also known as a transgenic organism, is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.  GMOs are the source of genetically modified foods and are also widely used in scientific research and to produce goods other than food.

Dragon Blood

(Orange, Beet, Cucumber & Carrot)

 

 

This is a wonderful combination of fresh fruits and vegetables for those times when you are feeling somewhat unbalanced.  The mixture of macro and micro nutrients allows regeneration and body tissue refreshing on a cellular level.  Along with antioxidants, fiber and pure richness in flavor, this is one of the best ways to give your body a healthy treat while restoring needed minerals and vitamins.

I have once heard that if you can catch a dragon, and make it your friend, you will forever have a companion with warming benefits.  I know it sounds a bit silly, but this Dragon Blood combination is like taming a dragon for friendship.  Once you taste it, you will begin to absorb its warming benefits and lasting nutritional value that can be felt from head to toe.

Orange – packed with vitamin C which helps promote cellular regeneration and protection from free radicals.
 

Beets – Full of soluble fiber, vitamin A & folic acid.  All are beneficial to helping clean the blood and aids in digestion.
 

Cucumbers – Natures’ anti-inflammation power house.  Cucumbers are packed with micro nutrients to help the body rid itself of excess water and bloating.  It is also good as a relief of arthritis and joint pain.
 

Carrot – a great source of fiber, vitamin A and beta carotene.  Carrots promote healthy eyes, skin, hair and nails.

I would suggest that the carrot tops (greens) are also used in the juice as well as a garnish to maximize on its’ health benefits.  Drink More Blood “Dragon Blood”!
