I am one that likes to add Kale and/or Spinach to a smoothie for added green nutrition, making it Super Green.
As I think about the word Green, it brings to mind what the color Green represents. In readings, it desclife, nature energy and renewal.
The color green, as applied to the food we eat, providing that deep rich abundantly nutrition to a diet.
Kale, Spinach or other deep green vegetables eaten in any form adds so many beneficial vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to enhance ones overall health.
Kale, Spinach or other dark green vegetables to your diet.
