Superfood Slushy

This slushy is a great energy-booster and it's full of vitamins! It's refreshing and the perfect drink to have in the morning to get your system up and running. These greens have so many nutrients, especially vitamin A, vitamin C, and fiber. They also act as antioxidants which is great in preventing chronic illnesses. The spring mix has arugula, dandelion, mizuna, radicchio, spinach, and tango. If you're new to green juices or smoothies then the taste of this drink might be a little strong for you. I suggest starting off with a juice of less vegetables and more fruits before diving into this leafy goodness. 

The asian pear compliments the leafy taste by giving it just the right amount of sweetness. If you prefer a sweeter drink you can add 1 or 2 pitted medjool dates to the blender. The flax seeds not only help to thicken your juice or smoothie but I consider them the perfect superfood. They are a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber. Which, when paired with all those vitamins from the spring mix and extra spinach, this drink lives up to it's name.
