A Green Smoothie for Clear Skin, More Energy & Muscle Repair
Recently I’ve been on a spirulina & chlorella kick because they’re both so great for having healthy, clear skin, healing acne and repairing tissues after a workout. A few weeks ago when I was making spirulina face masks I started researching how spirulina impacts skin health. There were so many testimonials from people who raved about how taking spirulina for just 4 weeks healed their chronic acne. What we put in our bodies has a big effect on our skin, our energy levels and how fast our body can repair itself.
Ingredients:
- 4 stalks of celery
- 1 field cucumber
- 2 cups pineapple
- 1 tbsp. spirulina
- 1 tbsp. chlorella
- 2 thumb print sizes of burdock root
- 1 cup tightly packed kale
- 1 thumb print size of ginger
- 1 lemon, de-seeded
- 1 cup cilantro
- 2-3 cups coconut water
Instructions: Chop ingredients and put in your Vitamix. Blend on high for 15-30 seconds and serve. If you need to add more liquid, you can.
7 Rawesome Facts about this Smoothie
1. Spirulina is around 68% protein and is said to contain every nutrients the human body requires in almost perfect ratios.
2. Chlorella is also around 60% protein, and is used to promote rapid tissue repair. If you do yoga, lift weights or run, using chlorella as part of your daily regimen will help your body heal faster increasing your endurance.

6. Cilantro naturally helps women balance their hormones and can even be used to help reduce menstrual cramping. It also pulls heavy metals from the system which is why pairing it with chlorella is so ideal.

Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform
you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely
unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
