Green drinks

These are natural food formula made from dehydrated green super foods, including dark green leafy vegetables.

They are good detoxifiers and blood cleansers. Available in health food stores, they are usually sold in powder form (some capsules or caplets) to be mixed into juices just before use.

Kyo green is one such drink. A powdered mixed made from barley, grass, wheatgrass, chlorella, Pacific kelp and cooked brown rice, it can be mixed with quality water by itself or added to any juice for extra nutrition. It provides a natural source of amino acids, minerals, enzymes and vitamins.

Chlorella regulates cholesterol, has anti tumor effects in animals, and enhances phagocytic activity as part of the immune response against infections.

Green drinks are very powerful and so may cause nausea and headaches at first. To avoid this, add quality water and sip slowly.

Many of super green drinks contain milk thistle and many phytochemicals. They may also contain other antioxidant rich fruit and vegetable extracts.

Seaweed is very useful for detoxification of heavy metals, on particular lead and cadmium. It also detoxifies a wide variety of environmental toxins as does green barley.

Green drinks are best made in a wheatgrass juicer as many of the ingredients will oxidize in high speed juicers.

Wheatgrass is high in chlorophyll and is one of the richest sources of vitamins A, B, and C. It also source of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulfur, cobalt zinc and protein.
