Green tea is an amazing superfood! Being a moderate source
of caffeine, it’s been known to help improve brain function and stimulate fat
loss. Green tea is also full of antioxidants known as polyphenols (such as flavonoids
and catechins). These antioxidants reduce harmful free-radicals ability to
cause damage to the body as well as reduce the risk of diseases like cancer and
Type II diabetes. A powerful anti-bacterial, green tea is also an essential for
maintaining good dental health and reducing the risk of infection. My favorite
thing about it, however, is that it’s been shown to increase the length of your
telomeres. Telomeres are the caps at the end of your DNA that prevent it from
unraveling and causing degenerative diseases. When you drink green tea you’re
doing your body a favor by stimulating brain function, improving metabolism,
killing harmful bacteria, and helping prevent degenerative disease by lengthening
your telomeres and getting your dose of antioxidants!
Wheat-grass is an amazing cleanser and detoxifier. It also
acts as an energizer for the body, appetite suppressant, internal deodorizer,
and antibiotic. Full of chlorophyll, wheatgrass is a powerful blood builder and
also a natural anti-carcinogenic. It protects the body against harmful
chemicals, and also helps reduce sinus problems.
To make this absolutely yummy Green Tea Energy-Boosting,
Vitality Smoothie you will need:
1 fresh mint stalk
1 teaspoon wheatgrass
1 tablespoon of matcha green tea powder
A few cups of frozen mangoes
& Coconut water to blend
Then top it with your favorite goodies, I put almond slices,
chia seeds, cacao nibs, and blackberries. Then sit back, relax, and enjoy! :- )
