Smoothies are such a great way to start your day. They take your acidic and contracted body first thing in the morning and transform it into an alkaline and relaxed body, WHEN the right ingredients are used (no dairy, processed/high glycemic sugars, or fruits with high natural sugar content). In this smoothie recipe, we provide a bump of energy, with brain food to boot.
Purpose
The purpose of this smoothie recipe is to provide an energy bump first thing in the morning, to your body and mind.
