Ingredients Highlights
Blueberries (especially wild) are among the foods highest in antioxidant power. Eating blueberries has been associated with a number of health benefits, including protecting and preserving lung function.
Leafy greens such as spinach, kale, and swiss chard support eye and heart health, are rich in folate and vitamin C, and offer a plethora of beneficial phytochemicals. They are also rich in chlorophyll, which helps prevent cancer, improve liver detoxification, speed up wound healing, improve digestion, and promote healthy skin.
Lemon is a potent antioxidant and helps support a healthy immune system and respiratory function.
Organixx Clean Sourced Collagens includes targeted nutrients such as zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 which enhance the bioavailability and potency of collagen.
Hello. I’m confused. The newsletter received talks about a red white and blue fruit appetizer. The link takes us to a blueberry, kale, and lemon smoothie. Perhaps, you’ve already caught this and will be sending out a new email? Meanwhile, I’m trying to send this comment through, it didn’t accept it the first time, and it took me to a page that said, “whoops, not found“, and the second time I clicked, it said “whoops, looks like you’ve made this comment already“. As a result, I have no idea if this comment is coming through to you or not. No matter what, I am still a bit curious about what the red white and blue berry appetizer recipe is. Thank you..
