5 Health Kick Drinks You Can Make At Home
Looking after your body and prioritising a healthy lifestyle comes with a ton of benefits, such as the strengthening of your immune system.
So in no particular order, here are 5 immunity-boosting drinks you can make at home.
Organic Greens Blend
What is the Organic Greens Blend?
Organic Green Blend Powder is a combination of 4 superfoods that are naturally rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin B12 & Iron. These include Spirulina, Chlorella, Wheatgrass & Barley Grass (four popular detox supplements).
Spirulina & Chlorella are algae that are abundantly found in tropical and subtropical waters. They cannot be digested as they have a hard cell wall meaning they are commonly taken through supplementation. Wheatgrass is also high in chlorophyll, a green plant pigment that offers strong anti-inflammatory properties.
Ways to take Organic Greens Blend
Our favourite way to take Organic Greens Blend is to mix it with water and a dash of apple juice/lemon. It's also a great addition to antioxidant smoothies. The ultimate immune health elixir.
