Green Drinks for Chlorophyllcup of green with frog infuser

Do you make drinks green by putting liquid chlorophyll in them like we do on St. Patrick’s Day? It goes into teas, juices, smoothies, eggs and more all day long.

But your Green Juice has a lot more going for it than turning drinks green on St Patty’s Day. Here’s a deeper look at this amazing greenness:

What is it? Chlorophyll is what gives green vegetables their color. It is found in most of your green vegetables- broccoli, kale, spinach, green peppers etc. -and is packed full of trace minerals and more. (see below)chlorophyll for green drinks

But if you are feeling like you aren’t getting enough green vegetables, or just need an extra boost of health and energy, chlorophyll taken by liquid or capsules may help. It can be found in the health food store near you.

8 benefits of taking a daily dose of Chlorophyll this spring:

1.  Allergy help.  Liquid chlorophyll from alfalfa is an excellent blood cleanser and detoxifier that may help with seasonal allergy relief.

2.  Immune System booster – Chlorophyll helps the body increase white cell production which aids in fighting off diseases. 

3.  Body Odor– Chlorophyll is perhaps best know for it’s ability to take care of body odor. Gargling it can help with bad breath and sore throats.

4.  Weight loss – It is documented as making the body feel fuller, reducing the need to eat as much. It also detoxifies.

5.  Aids Detoxification – not only is it a good blood cleanser but it binds to heavy metals and molds and helps eliminate them from the body.

6.  Energy – chlorophyll increases the production of red blood cells which result in higher levels of circulating oxygen throughout the body. It also increases stamina

7.  Healthy Skin- cleansing the blood, kidneys and liver helps the skin to clear up and shine.

8.  Thyroid Support – Chlorophyll can help balance and support the thyroid.

Chlorophyll has a high calcium and iron content as well as vitamin K and trace minerals. Alfalfa specifically contains eight essential digestive enzymes and eight essential amino acids of protein!

There are varieties of chlorophyll in the health store to buy. Find one that suits you. I prefer liquid chlorophyll from alfalfa with mint added. I take it once a day in a shot glass or include it in my morning smoothie. Enjoy!
