Vegetable Brain Blast
I enjoy this green blend on a regular basis for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. We don't generally think of our brain as requiring lots of energy, but it certainly does. It consumes loads of fuel, especially carbohydrates, in order to perform at its peak. This beverage helps me to maintain my mental stamina if I have a particularly trying task at hand that requires focused concentration. It also aids in the healing of acne, arthritis, and other inflammatory health problems.
