Ormus Supergreens Smoothie

Ormus Supergreens SmoothieThis green smoothie features one of my favorite green superfood powders, Ormus Supergreens.

I recommend green superfood powders for one or more of the following reasons: getting your daily allowance of veggies is a challenge, traditional green smoothies (blended green leafy vegetables) aren’t your thing, you want to incorporate an extremely nutrient dense green superfood into your diet.

For a lot of people using green superfood powders is sort of graduation to the next level of smoothie making, but in reality they can be a great starter ingredient if you want your smoothies loaded with nutrition, without much effort, right off the bat.

Watermelon Dandelion Greens Detox Smoothie

Watermelon Dandelion Greens Detox SmoothieI’m back with another smoothie that I consider a mild detoxifier.

Part of my inspiration for this recipe was an article I came across on Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr, who revealed her love of coconut oil. She takes four tablespoons a day. To some that may seem extreme, but for those in the know, it’s a healthy habit.
