This green smoothie provides a hefty dose of chlorophyll. This plant-based molecule is a potent blood-cleanser, it can attach to toxins and remove them from the body, making this green brew a perfect addition to any detox program. The chlorophyll found in green plants also carries a significant amount of oxygen to our ‘cells’ and our healthy ‘gut bacteria’. This is vitally important since both require an oxygen-rich environment to survive. So head on over to the Emerald City and get your daily dose of chlorophyll.
