☆RED SMOOTHIE☆
INGREDIENTS, ALL ORGANIC
1 beet with its green leaves
4 carrots with the skin
3 cups spring mix
1/4 inch ginger root
1/2 lime with the skin
2 scoops fiberwise
3 tablespoons hemp seeds
6 ice cubes from the whey made from raw cheese (if want to learn how to make raw cheese, video on the website)
Water
Mix all INGREDIENTS in the Vita mix or powerful blender and Voila, one of the best smoothies to clean and power our body with nutrients
Here are the Health Benefits of my Red Smoothie ingredients:
BEETS:
*Great source of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and dietary fiber.
*Rich in vitamin C, manganese, folate, vitamin B6, betaine and potassium.
*The greens parts of beets are a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, copper and calcium.
Therefore, just the beets alone are loaded with healthy nutrients. However, what I enjoy the most, is the blood cleaning power and the blood flow.
What is this? Beet juice increases blood flow to the brain and help prevent dementia, according to Wake Forest University researchers. The body converts nitrates in beets to nitric oxide, a compound that relaxes arteries and improves blood circulation and oxygenation within the brain.
CARROTS:
*High source of antioxidants (especially Beta Carotene).
*Decreases risk for heart disease and stroke.
*Helps protect against cancer .
*Important for maintaining oral health.
SPRING MIX:
Has at least 17 baby greens and it is rich in vitamins A, vitamin C, iron, and calcium
GINGER:
Is a potent aromatic herb and a good natural source of vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, copper, and manganese.
Important to know that ginger heals the gut and relieves nausea, and can help prevent ulcers that sometimes lead to stomach cancer.
LIME:
Include weight loss, improved digestion, reduced respiratory and urinary disorders, relief from constipation, and treatment of scurvy, piles, peptic ulcer, gout, and gums. It also aids in skin care and eye care.
Delivers the full-body benefits of seven fiber sources—including organic psyllium seed husk, plus vitamins, antioxidants, soothing herbs, and probiotics.

HEMP SEEDS:
These seeds are rich in healthy fats and essential fatty acids. They are also a great protein source and contain high amounts of vitamin E, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron and zinc. In addition, they have been linked with a reduced risk of heart disease.
