An easy way to get more nutrients into your body and increase your energy level is by ingesting a super healthy green smoothie. It helps to incorporate more vegetables into your daily routine and reach your daily recommended servings of fruits and veggies.

Greens+ it’s almost like taking a spoon full of Buckleys. I am sure most of you have heard the famous saying “it tastes awful and it works”. Well this is essentially that. Greens+ doesn’t really taste good unless blended into something such as a smoothie where the fruits help mask its taste. One scoop of Greens+ ensures that your body consumes its daily range of powerful phytonutrients found in fruits and vegetables and superfoods that are not always available and hard to find. The pros certainly outweigh the cons here.

We’ve added some extra spirulina to help give the smoothie its nice green colour. Spirulina is a nutritious blue-green algae that is high in B vitamins and minerals and even contains protein.

Because we like to fast before our workouts, this smoothie makes for the perfect breakfast or snack right after a workout by adding protein, chia seeds and of course delicious toppings like fresh blueberries and granola to help fill you up.
