Notes
You can futher sweeten this smoothie by adding more of your favourite fruit or fruit powders such as Organic Baobab or Banana Powder.
If you are not used to it, we recommend you start with 1/4 teaspoon of chlorella and spirulina building up to 2 teaspoons of each per smoothie. This will avoid any symptoms of detoxification.
Benefits description
Chlorella and Spirulina are two of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet! Both are powerfully detoxifying due in part to their extremely high chlorophyll content. This is further backed up by the vitamin and mineral content, both being high in antioxidant vitamin E. Chlorella also contains the "Chlorella Growth Factor" which is anti-aging, speeds up the growth of friendly intestinal bacteria and assists in the repair of damaged genetic material. The hemp seeds bring a perfect balance of omega 3 to 6 essential fatty acids, these are particulary important for our cells and the health of our vital organs such as the heart and the brain. There is also evidence to support that chlorella and spirulina contain essential fatty acids with spirulina containing high amounts of Gamma Linolenic Acid, a preconverted form of Omega 6 which is powerfully anti-inflammatory.
Coconut is a super brain food and as well as tasting delicious the nutrient rich coconut oil is a great source of healthy fat that quickly metabolises into energy!
