CHICK FEED – Peppy Peppermint Pattie Smoothie

Hey Chick,

Green is our favorite color when it comes to beverages as it means there it contains chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants.  But studies have shown that chlorophyll also has a TON of awesome health benefits for peeps including controlling hunger cravings, controlling body odor (bye by bad breath and stinky sweats!) and helping to detoxify the body.

So instead of throwing back the beer and booze which has a ton of calories and wreaks havoc on the system especially when trying to lose weight and get toned, try one of this “Chick Approved” options:

1.  Liquid Chlorophyll & Soda Water –  If you don’t have time to eat your veggies this is a great way to get your green fix (and it is SUPER bright green and pretty) Available at all health food stores in reg and mint.

2. Superfood Green Powder Drinks – While healthy has to start with a great diet of real, whole foods made with love, superfood powders are a great way to get your greens in when travelling or don;t have time to make your veggies or a green smoothie.  Greens Plus and Organify are 2 of our faves for flavor and ingredients.

3. Green Smoothie Goodness – You know how much we LOVE a green smoothie!  Packed with vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll and fibre, it will help heal your body, speed your metabolism and are just downright yummy.  We made a special recipe for you below 🙂
