Eating your fruits and veggies is cool, but drinking them is better. And by better, we mean easier. But when it comes to concocting a great smoothie, it's hard to get the most bang for your buck. We're talking about a smoothie that tastes good, looks good, and is good for you. Through much trial and error (and a lot of smoothie testing) we finally found a combination that feels right...simple, yet powerful. 

Key ingredients (and why we chose them)

SPINACH - It's the superfood's superfood, hello Popeye! Cancer, heart disease, diabetes, you name it, it conquers it. It also is one of the best sources of magnesium, which gets us super excited!

CACAO POWDER - This stuff is magical. It makes you happy while protecting your heart, boosts your energy while burning fat, lowers your blood pressure, improves complexion and improves cognitive function. 

FLAX SEEDS - Flax seeds are full of fiber, helps improve digestive health, contains lots of magnesium, lots of antioxidants, high in omega-3 fatty acids

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL - Our shining star. Not only does it promote heart health, weight loss and brain functionality, it gives you glowing skin, luscious locks and tastes amazing. No bias here. 

Wanting to get the most out of your cool treat? We did the homework for you. Here's our recipe for our best anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, brain boosting, beauty smoothie! And dare we say, it tastes incredible.
