Great Super Yummy Smoothies To Give You Super Awesome Energy, Health and Wellness

 

 When going through an especially stressful time our energy begins to wane and we begin to feel just plain exhausted and tired.  When under stress we don't sleep as well and over time our immune system begins to go down.  I know because about five years ago I was full of anxiety and stress. I had no energy and my sleep patterns were awful. I had to change my lifestyle completely.  One of the major lifestyle changes I did to help fortify my immune system was drinking green smoothies that included super foods.  

Here are some great smoothie recipes that I have used. I drink a smoothie everyday - especially during STRESSFUL time!
