Smoothies Made Easy
Following the cancer diagnosis, I searched to figure out how to best take care of my body. What I’d been doing brought me to that diagnosis. As a result, moving forward, I wanted to live the healthiest version of myself that I had control over. Making smoothies had a huge impact on my self care. And, it’s been a powerful addition. You cannot get the nutrition any other way. It’s like eating 40 bowls of greens. Ingredients are blended down to a cellular level to be easily absorbed into your body to be easily used. Here are some additional benefits to ingesting smoothies.
