Sometimes I have massive amounts of energy.
And other times I feel like a sloth wading through molasses.
Fluctuations in energy levels happen, but your life is in a constant flow of change – changes in time, changes in environment, changes in mood… and each of these factors play a key part in determining HOW you feel.
However, you can give your body a MASSIVE upgrade by flooding it with energy promoting superfoods.
No, you don’t have to go munching on grass or funky tasting tonics (unless you want to of course!).
You can infuse your body with several superfoods at once by blending up a satisfying smoothie!
This Superfood Strawberry Smoothie is designed to provide your body with the elements needed to give you a huge energy boost.
The only thing left for you to do after drinking this smoothie is to decide HOW you will use this abundance of energy!
