Super Greens

When you're busy…

It can be hard to eat all the vegetables you need every day. And, of course, that's often when you need their protective nutrients the most. One healthy solution is to reach for a helping of super green foods: microalgae and cereal grasses. They're packed with chlorophyll, protein, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids just what you need when you're under stress and don't have time to cook the way you'd like to.

A serving of vegetables could be one cup of leafy greens, half a cup of cooked vegetables, or a tablespoon of powdered greens mixed in water or juice. It could also be a smoothie with a shot of wheat grass juice from your favorite natural-foods store or several tablets or capsules made from algae or grasses.
