And no, this toxins aren’t just from the amount of unprocessed food we consume but the environment as well.
“Fruits and vegetables are particularly high in many micronutrients that we really need. They also provide them in a manner that is highly convenient and easy for the body to absorb. Thus when we drink smoothies, we provide a ‘high’ of great stuff that helps to power us through the day.” – The Healing Power of green smoothies (Ms Celine Agbu).
