Day 5 of 7-day GSC

Here is another Green Smoothie recipe from the Joy for Life Retreat that you may want to try!

Green Glory GS

Yield: 1 quart

2 cups Chard, rib removed

1/4 fresh pineapple (approximately 1 cup)

1 cup strawberries, frozen or fresh
1 banana, peeled

2 cups water

• In a blender, mix together until thick and creamy
• My GS was a bit frothy, so I added about 1/4 cup frozen pears for soluble fibre

Nutri-Tip:

• Chard can provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification support
• Chard contains a flavonoid called syringic acid that is receiving attention in recent research for its blood sugar regulating properties
  
  

Follow Up:

• This is Day 5 - and my weight is down another pound. I have lots of energy and am feeling really good.
