Green Boost – Wheatgrass, Spirulina, Chlorella and Moringa
The Ultimate Daily Green Boost Smoothie Recipe – The Daily Mix That Actually Works
Green Boost – Wheatgrass, Spirulina, Chlorella and Moringa. Let’s be honest: most of us don’t wake up craving a plate of kale and algae for breakfast. But toss together wheatgrass, spirulina, chlorella, and moringa powder INTO YOUR SMOOTHIE, and suddenly you’ve got a daily green mix that makes your body throw a little gratitude party.
Wheatgrass – swoops in with chlorophyll and enzymes to keep things clean and energized (basically a spring cleaning crew for your insides).
Spirulina – shows up stacked with protein and antioxidants, ready to pep up your immune system like that friend who’s always too chipper in the morning.
Chlorella – It’s your detox bouncer—ushering out heavy metals and toxins that have no business sticking around.
Moringa – Think of it as the multi-tasker of the group, loaded with vitamins, minerals, and anti-inflammatory goodness.
Together, they’re the green squad your diet didn’t know it needed.
Together, the Green Boost – Wheatgrass, Spirulina, Chlorella and Moringa combination provides a concentrated source of plant-based nourishment that can enhance energy, resilience, and long-term health. And along with boosting vitality, they’re supporting the body’s natural detox and defense systems.
I saw an advertisement for a “PILL” that included all 4 of the ingredients, but rather than buy the magic pill I just decided to get the powders and mix them into my daily smoothie. Not a bad decision either. The smoothie below had an awesome taste to it and is one I will make again. But I like sweetness and it was definitely not as sweet as I like my smoothies to be. So I’m thinking the next one will either have a drop or two of Stevia or a couple chunks of pineapple.
Here’s where you can get the powders that I added to the smoothie:
ORGANIC MORINGA POWDER
CHLORELLA POWDER
BARLEY GRASS POWDER
SPIRULINA POWDER
And now – the recipe for the Ultimate Daily Green Boost Smoothie. Start with only 1/2 tsp of each powder until your system gets used to the Green Boost Mixture. I’ll explain why below the recipe.
