Use Your Power Blender Wisely!
When I work with clients there is often a dilemma of recommending a juicer or nutri bullet (power blender). The person with a sweet tooth will prefer the power blender and then favour an all fruit blend. This is not ideal if they present with gut health issues or symptoms of high blood sugar levels. This simple green smoothie should be used as a balance to the sweeter smoothies. A nutrition powder from your herbalist can also be added to this blend.
